23 Things and beyond...

Setting and meeting goals are very important to me. I found myself learning so much during this project. I found myself mentoring and teaching others and that made it all the more special.

The RSS feeds were something I knew nothing about when starting the 23 Things. It was exciting to learn about this technology. I feel I am more confident with patron questions as a result.

This whole experience was fun. The concept was easy to follow and I would do this again if given the opportunity. Next up, Beyond 23 things...

Seven and a half habits

I have always found it easy to teach and mentor. That would be fun in any environment that I have knowledge and skills. One the flip side of that is the fourth habit. Having the confidence in myself as a competence and effective learner is often hard. Once I do master the subject, the confidence rises. This is a great way to learn and grow.

NetLibrary

I have had a NetLibrary account, but never felt the need to explore. That will change after completing the 23 Things challenge. I like to hold the book and read it. It is a hard habit to break but I will try to use this tool in the future. It will be nice to try an area of technology previously untapped. I will be one up on the technologically savy 10 year old in the family. Perhaps he and I will learn together? On to the next Challenge.

Podcasts

I added ESPN Radio podcasts to my RSS feeds. This was fun. I had no idea what this was all about. It is fun listening to something that was on the radio earlier in the week.
I found podcasts about knitting, travel, sports and many other subjects. What will they think of next.

YouTube

Love it, love it, love it. This was great fun. I did not like a lot of what I saw at first. I tuned into the television shows and ads from years past. That is when I found my posting. I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy. This is also my favorite all-time episode. Who doesn't like chocolate?

Web 2.0 tools

I chose the travel sites to explore. Travel is my middle name and I enjoy seeing what possibilities are available.
I love the subject headings and I can see this as a tool to help with questions about certain topics.
I find it very interesting how three different sites can bring together so much information. It was also nice to see lists of blogs by subject. This is going to be fun.

Zoho writer

I had no idea something like this existed. I think my nephew uses something like this to send his emails. I will look forward to talking to him about this and perhaps learn something new.
