Thing 19

Podcasts: Viewed different podcasts and created and edited the Children's Poetry contest podcast for Dakota County Library

Thing 10

It was interesting to see how other libraries used Wikis. I've used them before, but not done any editing until I added something to the 23 Things wiki. Also signed up for a PBWiki account. However my inspiration for personal and practical uses usually come about a month or more after I've been exposed to the tool.

Thing 9

Collaborative Tools: I played around with Zoho. Again I found it unsatisfactory. But was more successful with Google Docs. That seemed easier to use. I can see times when this might be useful, but don't see an application for my job. I would choose Google Docs for some personal document applications.

Thing 8

Played around with Zoho---pretty clunky. Then used Picture Trail to create this slide show.

Thing 7

Communication Tools. I read about being more effecient with email, Instant Messaging and texting. Also looked at the Minitex webinar offerings. I'm learning texting with the new cell phone I just bought. Although I don't think I'll use it much, its fun to play around.

London postcard Thing 5 and 6

Make a postcard - it's easy!

Barns seem to be such a part of the American landscape. I love looking at them and drawing them

Thing 3 completed

Okay Thing 3 is done. I subscribed to a reader and then signed up for some realy dumb "news" sources, then found some good ones. I'm not sure how to get rid of the ones that I don't want.
Later I read and watched Feed Me and RSS Feel the Need for Feeds and have a better understanding. I also added some of my friends blogs.

Thing 2

Library 2.0 is going to give me a schedule for learning about the "Tech stuff " that I don't know or understand. Since I love learning new thing this is exciting and have felt the need to catch up but never found the time. This program is giving me that incentive and a schedule to move along, so by making a committment to it I will "find the time."
Already I've been frustrated by things not working and taking much more time than I thought they should. But I will plug away and get the 23 things done.
