Thing 23

I have been done with the 23 Things for awhile, and never got around to evaluating it and posting this. I think it might be good that I've had some time away. I have a better idea of which things I have actually used a lot and which I let fall by the wayside. I re-read some of my posts, starting w/Library 2.0. I think I'm an even bigger proponent of it now than I was then. I think everyone, not just librarians, should embrace and explore technology and find what works great for them. There is something for everyone out there- some things useful and productive, some things just fun. But all worthwhile. Even things on this experience that I tried once and haven't used again- I got something out of that, even if it's just familiarity with Twitter (which I still don't use) that can help me understand what people are talking about or help me assist a patron.

I also found, reading back over my posts, that some things I use a lot more than I thought I would. I'm a Facebooker, I have used Survey Monkey A LOT (and I like it!), I jump on YouTube all the time- sometimes for important things, and sometimes to look at goofy things (ok most of the time!). I enjoyed all the photo stuff we did, and I use those things frequently to keep track of my photos or manipulate them. I really liked doing 23 Things, and I would love to do 23 more. It helps keep me on my toes and points me in new directions. I discovered more things from just these 23.

One word or sentence about my 23 Things experience: Awesome!
