Ex. 23 - Finis!

I feel really good about finally completing the 23 Things workshop. It has been both challenging and rewarding. I have learned about many useful websites such as Rollyo, Flickr, Wafoo, Zohowriter, etc. that I probably would have not even thought to look for. I've gotten less nervous about signing up for accounts and logging into sites. I've also learned I need to keep better notes on where I explore because I've found some great stuff, but then I'm not sure where I came across it.
I would like to work on using Rollyo to develop subject searches for our virtual file. It may work out well. I have to play around with it.
I think it would be neat to have an LRC blog. It might be a good way to get information to students that they would otherwise ignore or not bother with.
I would like to have more time to figure out how to incorporate much of this amazing information into my work because I see promising applications all over the place.
The workshop has been wonderful tool to help me explore the possibilites of Web 2.0 as well as what Library 2.0 could be, and I would definately participate in a similar kind of workshop. I will probably have to do it entirely from home as our IT department has given me only two weeks more to use my blog from work and I can't see anyone else's postings besides mine which is pretty frustrating. I really liked being able to read what other people thought about what they are learning.
I feel like I need to go through many of the 23 Things again and refresh in my mind how to use them. The good thing is that what seemed really difficult and confusing no longer is intimidating or scary. I tell the students I teach how to search databases that you can't break them and the only way to get better at searching is to practice and try new things. I'm trying to take my own advice with Web 2.0 and go after it and try it out.
I made the suggestion earlier that you tell everyone to spend some time thinking up user names and passwords before they get started and I saw my suggestion in an email about the next Play day. It is nice to know that you do pay attention to our suggestions and recomendations.
My next suggestion is to use something to help keep track of who you are on different sites by using a site like onxiam.com.
Thanks for doing this workshop. It was worth the time and effort. I appreciate all you do at PLAN to help us stay on top of things in the library world. See you at the Unconference!
