23 Things: am Anfang

September 8, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Week one has gone by for the 23 Things discovery learning project.

It was a hot and busy first week, and many people who were/are very interested didn’t have the time to breathe… much less get going on their 23 Things. (How was your first week this year?) I’m attributing the somewhat slow start to that… I’m still hearing interest in the program. Many asked if they could join in during the second week. Absolutely! So we’ll see how those numbers change in the upcoming week.

This project was publicized for our staff, but I’d love it if we had even more people participating (think Flat Classroom Learning). The learning from the 23 Things project is meaningful and easy (even for beginners), but the collaboration and networking that happens as you cheer each other on in their discovery journey becomes even more meaningful the more voices and perspectives we have.

So if you happened across my website today and are interested (at all), come and join us!

23 Things…

July 27, 2008 · 1 Comment

Wow!! Today I was rolling around in bloggy goodness and ran into a movement that has been going on that sounds pretty fantastic: 23 Things. Minnesota even seems to have its own movement (mostly for librarians, as far as I can find), called 23 Things on a Stick.  Some have even moved forward, gone farther, and done “Learning 2.1: A Master List of Things“.  There is even a Minnesota tech-guy, Michael Walker,  who is looking ahead to doing this for his staff in Edina.

I am very interested in trying this out so that I can share it with my colleagues! I am on the technology committee, and this past spring we found that many people are interested in improving their technological savviness. I think this would be a great program to set up for interested participants.  I want to learn more, and talk to more people so that I can get this in motion.  I’m excited!
