This blog has been set up to chart your progress in the 'Learning 23 things' program.
The model being used for your program is: 'Learning 2.0, 23 Things' which was developed by Helene Blowers of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenberg County.
It has been made available for all to share under a Creative Commons Licence.
The Program was developed to encourage staff to explore new technologies in a fun and flexible way.
Emerging technologies on the web are changing the way people access and share information. This online fun course will introduce you to the world of Web 2.0, also called the 'Participatory Web'........so why not participate???
Lessons are made up of short podcasts which you can listen to on the library standalone PCs using your personal headphones. These can be attached to the extension lead which is inserted into the headphones port on the computer's CPU. If you are unsure about how to utilise this equipment, speak to the senior librarian at your site or contact either Angela or Vanessa.
Each lesson provides you with a choice of 2 Discovery Exercises (one simple and one with a bit of a challenge). It's your choice as you work your way through each thing at your own pace.
All the tools you will need are online and there is nothing extra to download. The only tool you need is 'enthusiasm'.
The PLCMC Learning Blog sets out the '23 Things' out over a 9 Week period.
Follow the weekly posts on this Blog which align with the PLCMC's '23 Things' Blog. Look for the "Blog Archive" on the right hand side of this screen and commence from the first entry at the bottom of the list. You can return here as you progress through the weekly exercises.
At week 2 your exercise will be to make your own blog. Send an email to both Vanessa and Angela so that your blog can be registered on the ATO Participants List blog.
Your blog will act as your learning journal thoughout the program. You will be recording all your learning activities on your blog.
One of the exercises on the '23 Things Blog' refers to Net Library which is no longer available, see the Alternative to Net Library Link.
Please head up each Blog post with the 'Thing' you are addressing eg. Thing #5 Flickr.
Feel free to comment and add your own tips, hints and discoveries to this Blog.
If you need assistance with anything on the program please contact either Angela or Vanessa.
Have fun!
