Thing 23

Well I made it to the end. It took me two tries but I was finally able to accomplish this wonderful project. I found it difficult at times to find the time to complete the various projects. I am thriled with all the new knowledge I have obtained. I thought I was somewhat update on some the new information out there boy was I wrong. I will have to set aside some time every day every other day to just sit down and read some of my RSS feeds or someone's blog. Thank you for making this experience possible and for all the time and effort it must have taken to put this together. I know if I don't practice I will lose what I have learned so I will make time for learning about web 2.0

Thing 22

I think for me to keep up using web 2.0 tools I need to keep reading my RSS feeds about it and talk with people who just go out and explore the web. I think the best way for me to keep learning is to take time like 23 things on a stick and reading what other people are saying about Web 2.0. I found some of the web 2.0 blogs intimidating but I would recommend the NeverEndingSearch blog by SLJ. I found it pretty user friendly and much more tuned into what I would like to learn about.

Thing 21

I had heard there were other social networking sites out there but had not had a chance to explore them. It was nice to have an excuse to browse other social networking sites. I did not allow myself enough time to have much exploring but I can see that each network is set up with a little different focus. I enjoyed reading about how gathering is focused on books and publishing. This would be a great way to have an audience critque ect.. new ideas and get feed back. I don't think I will be able to use these at work because of current restrictions but it was nice to explore and get a feel for what is out there.

Thing 20

I use my space for personal use already to keep current with friends across the country. I did not realize that libraries were using it to connect to teen patrons. I think that is a great idea. Our school has decided because of supervision and bandwidth issues to not allow face book or my space. I can see how a library could really increase the draw of the teen group by using these social networking sites.

Thing 19

Podcast
Listen to one on the comics it was called Comic Library. I was just searching yahoo for a podcast and stumbled upon this site. It was interesting but not one I would subscribe to so I will keep looking. This is an easy way for information to disperse through the internet and to have feed back on what you are doing. I found the educational podcast the easiest to use but was just coming across text and no audio. I would like to find a podcast that would talk about the last books for a library and their critique of the books. I would subscribe to something along those lines.

Thing 17

I really like the feature of having an RSS feed on a search. I can really see the benefits of having this feature if you were doing research on a certain topic. You would always have the most up to date information on the subject. I did follow all the directions for adding a feed to READER but it would not work for the longest time. I went in today and even though it had said my feed failed, it worked :)
