Second of 23 -- a done thing

The number two -- reading and videos -- was very informative, however, this blog is in cyberspace and my stick blog is unaccessible. I will net give up hope, I will take two aspirin.

Another first of 23

I'm back making another blog, basically because I was unable to add to my last blog. Or access it to blog-on. I was able to comment on my blog, but I don't think that was the proper way to go about it. I believe this is number one on the list of 23. Here's the list as I recall...


1. Setting up my own blog.

2. Find out what Web 2.0 is all about by watching some perspectives.

3. Learn about RSS and news feeds and set up an RSS account of your own.

4. Explore Flickr.

5. Explore mash-ups from Flickr and others.

6. Play around with an online image generator.

7. Try a variety of communication tools and reflect on how my library and teachers can use them.

8. Share your slide decks, photos, or presentation slides on your Web site or blog with these tools.

9. Explore collaboration on documents and presentations without the hassles of email attachments.

10. Learn about wikis and how libraries are using them. Add an entry to the 23 Things On a Stick wiki.

11. Learn about tagging and del.icio.us, a social bookmarking site.

12. Explore Digg , Reddit , and StumleUpon
"rate" and recommend articles to others via these social media sites.

13. Try out an online productivity tool and learn about others.

14. Take a look at LibraryThing.

15. Libraries and games are becoming a hot topic. Explore some online games.

16. Explore the Minnesota Assignment Calculator & the Research Project Calculator.

17. ELM is more than articles. Use these ELM productivity tools to maximize what ELM can do for you.

18. Discover YouTube and other sites that let you watch and upload video.

19. Explore podcasts and consider creating a podcast of your own.

20. Explore Facebook and MySpace as a way to communicate with many people

21. Explore other Social networks.

22. More ways to keep learning.

23. Online evaluation and blog about your 23 Things On a Stick experience.


I have completed number two and have seen enough of number three to be totally confused again. However, I have complete faith that these stick items will make me a better librarian. And that is my goal.
