Thing 24: Refresh the blog
Changing the template was easy enough. I may be tempted to change it often.
The number of gadgets was overwhelming. Just exploring the options could take a few days. I went to the fun & games category and selected "Hangman" to add to my blog.
Adding information to my profile is technically easy, but I don't know what information to add. I did make a slight change to the information.
I'm attached to my Media Kebab and decided not to change it.
The Avatar change was more complicated. I made changes on the Avatar site, but I apparently didn't save the changes correctly. After trying several things, I finally was able to save the changes, but couldn't figure out how to export them to my blog. I went back to the first 23 things and took the shortcut to "export to your blog". (There has to be a way to export this from the Avatar site??) This worked except that when I did it the first time, it exported the avatar without the background ... I repeated the exact steps and it exported with the background, but it didn't position the avatar in the background the way I had saved it.
I think I'm registered. However, right after I hit "Send to More Things Team" I realized that I sent the blog address incorrectly. Sorry about that.

So we're back....
23 more things? Here we go-- I remember that the 23 things was a rewarding experience, but time consuming. I'm guessing I need to do a lot of review before I get started.

Back....
Ahhh- Sumer is here at last. I'm thinking I should revisit the 23 things because I've already forgotten a lot.
I enjoyed the Children's Literature Workshop over the last couple days. It was a good time to get excited about the new books and gather some creative ideas to freshen up presentations.

And then....
I was missing the blog-
Since the last post, we've had a book fair and an author in our media center. I haven't done too much online, but I've thought about it. For instance, I would like to give parents access to the pictures I took of their kids with the author. Which tools would accomplish this without stepping on the privacy of the author or students? Or do I need to worry about this as long as I don't identify them?

Thing 23--Time to Celebrate!
As I looked at the blog prompts for thing 23, I decided I needed to look back at my earlier blog entries. I'd forgotten just how frustrated I was at the beginning of the process. I was anxious to learn some new things, but I was a bit afraid I'd never get to "Thing 23" before April 15. As a result, I introduced myself to several of the tools, but gave up on getting them to work. The countdown for example has never worked. I was encouraged to read other blogs and find out that things didn't always work for others either. And then we discovered that one of our computers does have issues...this is the technology we know and "love".
"23 Things" has defined Library 2.0 for me. I was unaware of some of the tools it contains and I'm very aware that we haven't looked at all of them. The Internet is overwhelming and the challenge is to be aware of what kinds of things to look for and then select things that are appropriate tools and concentrate on them. However as a media person, we need to be familiar with what comes along that would be helpful for our patrons as well.
Favorite things? iGoogle and the RSS reader have been useful, but as I look back through the list of things, I see several other things that I'd like to go back and explore. (Now I won't have to worry about making a deadline.)
I did connect with a couple media people-- but honestly, I made more connections with family at this point. It was a good thing.
This was a wonderful program for me. The links were very informative and sometimes entertaining. I wasn't real sure who to contact or how to contact someone with questions I had. But given the number of people signed on for "23 things" I thought the comments left for me & the emails were good.
I would be very interested in participating in another program like this if it is offered. Trying to learn these things without the links and suggestions would be very frustrating & time consuming.
So--A Big Thank You to those who sponsored and set up "23 Things". It was and is a valuable experience that I look forward to sharing with my fellow staff members.

Countdown....
Gifhorn, Germany
I'm here-the white speck on the bridge. This is one of the beautiful places I visited last summer.
