What I've done with what I've learned so far

I have started a wiki and a blog for the Caroline County Bird Club. The members I've shared them with are really exited about how we can post a variety of information and share

Thing 23 - the end!

23 Things is a great program. This is the first time I've done anything like it. I liked it, but feel like I just skimmed the surface of so many new technologies (for me that is). I'm afraid I won't retain it all. It was a challenge to fit it in to my schedule. I have to say, I did at least four of the weeks on my own time at home. That was my choice, in order to not feel pressured to get it done at work along with my other duties.
My blog has been lots of fun and will help me go back to some of the things to spend more time learning and getting comfortable with some of the things we looked at.
My favorites - in addition to blogging - the avatar, of course.
Also, I'm very excited about doing more with wikis both at work and for my bird club.
YouTube is great fun to explore and I see possibilities for library programming to expand some of our offerings virtually to make it more accessible to more people. I definitely see this as something we may want to do for Teen programming with teens.
Maybe I'll start using Netlibrary, Recorded Books videos and Overdrive (got to get a mp3 player though) myself. That would help me help customers more.
I need to remember to visit Merlin on a regular basis - it's a wonderful resource.
Finally, I need to take all my post-it notes of new membership logins and passwords and create a list I won't lose.:)
Thanks for the opportunity, Nini and thanks to Jennifer Ranck for all your support. Also, thanks to Jessica, Michelle, Jeri, Ann and others who helped the rest of us do our 23 Things!

Thing 22

NetLibrary and Overdrive - we subscribe to both and just started to also subscribe to Recorded books videos as well.
I listened to and watched the instructions for Netlibrary and then set up an account for myself through our page. I would have downloaded a book, but it was VERY slow and I am running out of time. So, I will go back and download a book later and also will set up an Overdrive account for myself.
Project Gutenberg - I know it's been linked on Sailor for a long time, but I infrequently think to access it for customers. I'll have to remember to check there when looking for a classic for someone who needs to read it by the next day....
It's time to purchase a MP3 player!!!

Thing 21

Ok Podcasting. I read through some instructions on how to create one after watching the Ask A Ninja and visited Merlin site on what they had listed on what some other libraries are podcasting. I listened to part of Francis the Scaredy Cat from the Denver Pub Library's podcast list. I think we might have some use for podcasts at work and am glad to know where to go back to really learn and try out creating a podcast. But, I'm thinking videos might be more useful, especially for web page listings - storytimes, booktalks, video some of our adult programs and offer them virtually.

Week 8 - Thing 19

I checked out the web 2.0 awards short list, which seemed long. I saw many of the sites 23 Things had us explore.
I really like YouTube.
I noticed Yahoo!Answers is #1 under Questions and Advice
I noticed under Wikis PBWiki is rated number 2.
Google maps is cool - I looked at the satelite map of my property.

Week 8 - Thing 18

I am trying out Zoho writer. It looks much like Word. Don't think I saw the smiley face option in Word though. There are some other options right on the toolbar that are interesting. I might use this to share a document, instead of using say, a Wiki, but right now, I'm not sure.

It was very easy to export the document as an HTML file and paste it in my blog. My smiley faces didn't copy over though. I'll have to play with it some more later.

Here's the url for later -- https://accounts.zoho.com/jsp/iamlogin.jsp?logout=true
