Thing #23 Final Thoughts

If there's ever another similar program like 23 things on a stick, I would definitely participate! This program was so worthwhile and practical. I liked that it was at our own pace and each step included clear directions. The blog idea for keeping track forced me to reflect and helped me to remember what I did. Now that I've tried new things such as wikis, blogs, podcasts and Facebook, I feel like I can relate to my students better and I feel more confident in using new technology tools. There are so many ways that these tools can be used in the library and I'm excited to try some of them this school year. I enjoyed knowing that others were participating in this program and it encouraged me to keep going. I was surprised by how easy most of these tools are to use. I need to select carefully what I choose to spend my time on but many of these tools are time-savers in the long run. Thank you for putting together this program and helping us along the way! P.S. At the beginning of my blog, I didn't number each Thing, but I did label them similarly to the topic so hopefully you can tell that I did each step.
