Thing 23: Final Thoughts

I just finished filling out the survey for "23 things on a stick". I think this is one of the most rewarding things I could of done, for my library, for my library system, and just for my life. I have allowed myself the time to explore all the online items that I wanted to...but didn't think I should take the time to do it..and also to explore some things that I just didn't know were out there. I want to thank all the people that have made the "23 things on a stick" possible. I hope they offer this again and again for those who were unable to finish, and for those that were hesitant and now we can say to them....GO FOR IT!

Thing 22: What did I learn today?

I am almost there. I can almost taste it! I have learned so very much in this 23 things exercise. I wish that all librarians were able to do this. There is just so much information packed into the 23 exercises. My hope is that this website is maintained for awhile. I have staff that may not finish in time to get a prize...but truly the prize is learning all this information. Learning makes us better...better librarians, better parents, better friends, just better all around. I plan to take time each and every week to explore in the many new things that I have signed up for. I know that I am more interested in some of them than others. I guess that is just human nature.

Thing 1: Setting up a blog, choosing avatar, and registering

I am so glad to finally get started on 23 things on a stick! I am very excited to learn all sorts of things that I can bring into our library. Setting up a blog, chooing and avatar, and registering went pretty good. There was some fuzzy stuff for me to figure out concerning the avatar...but then I was getting too hooked up with all the choices. She..or I will probabaly change outfits regularily. A couple of us are going to be working on 23 things, so it is fun to share, giggle, and work together on this.
