Thing 16 Wikis-websites that share info & files. Useful for staff intranets as staff can share ideas and edit files together

Thing 15 Library 2.0. OK, now I get it. One of the reasons that HCPL offered the 23 Things Program was to make us more aware that the "library" can't be just a building, and that change is here, and the the future of the system will accommodate it's users in that change.

Thing 14 Did searches for Learning 2.0, top favorited blog, top searches & top blogs, and noted the great variety of subjects covered.

Thing 13 Checked out Del.icio.us and found that this is a popular usage for those using several computer sites which will allow them to access their materials. Sounds good. Several posts commented on the advantages while doing research.

Thing 12 Rollyo-a very efficient way to keep current medical sources in my place-my blog!
www.mayoclinic.com
health.yahoo.com
www.healthweb.org

Thing 11 Accessed Library Thing to list some of my favorites.

Thing 8,9 & 10 Although I had accessed Merlin before this exercise, I was now aware of the "behind the scenes" machinations that produced it. Bloglines was especially interesting, as I feel I can use that often.Checked out generator blog sites.

Week 3 Thing 7. Checked out MP3 Players: interested in audio downloads.

Week 3 Thing 6 Visited Flickr mash-ups and Third Party Sites. Really impressed with Flickr Travel Planner, and viewed pictures and sites we wish to visit in Washington soon. The site was very informative regarding travel info. I'm beginning to warm to this.

Thing 5 Flickr. Much fun picking out a theme picture. Patches, patchwork of life, get it? Well, I liked it.

Thing 3 & 4 Set up and register a blog. Easier said than done in my case! I had loads of problems doing this, but since I like working with colors, I'm pleased with the result. Still having difficulty getting the picture where I want it (up higher on page), but I'm still working on it.

23 Things. Thing 1 &2

Week 1 Intro-seems harmless enough. Should be doable. From habits of successful learners, keeping the end goal in mind has always been an incentive for me. Keeping up with technology is difficult because technology is snowballing to the point that I feel we're dealing with an avalanche!
