Thing 5

All of this is new to me. I enjoyed reviewing the recommended links provided. I played around with creating puzzles, trading cards and posters. I have saved everything to my flickr account.
Experimented with creating a group and inviting some friends to join. Fun!

Thing 4

Opened my flickr account and uploaded some pictures. I can see where I would use this when sharing pictures with family and friends. At this point I would not put my pictures out there to share with everyone. As I work more with this I might change my mind. This activity went smoothly and was fun to work on.

Thing 3

I set up a Google Reader account and added a couple of book review subscriptions. I'm not sure how I would keep up with much more than that. After viewing a couple of the recommended video clips I have an understanding of how RSS feeds work and the benefits of using them.

Thing 2

Already I feel more confident as I enter the second activity. I was able to view the Stephen Abram video and read the recommended articles.

Where will I find the time to do the 23 Things? I will spend time in the evening at home maybe some at school.

Why am I participating? To grow professionally and personally. I am curious about how to do the activities, some of which I have heard of and others are new. What do I hope to learn? I would like to learn about some new resources and how I can use them at work and personally.

How has the Internet and the vast resource it can be affected your use of time at work and/or at home? At home I use the internet for work related activities and personal. It has been nice to order books from home and communicate with colleagues. Of course there is always the ease of shopping from home. At school almost everything I do has a connection to the internet from ordering books, using the Destiny system to help students find information on various topics.


Where are you in your knowledge and use of Web 2.0 tools? How about your library? At this point I am not sure. I will find out more as I travel through all of this.

What are you looking forward to in 23 Things On a Stick? Hopefully I will learn about some new resources and how I can use them. I hope this process will help with implementing some new activities at school.

This is my first entry. I am excited to learn this new technology through the 23 Things On a Stick program. Setting up my blog went well, I am hoping the rest of the activities will too.
