If you have any doubts about whether we are in the midst of a social media revolution, you need to watch this video. Compelling facts show we all need to get on board if we want to remain in the mainstream and not be left behind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFYPQjYhv8 OverviewTo launch our DC/SLA Unconference held at Catholic University on April 3, Stephen Abram shared the history of the 23 things model which SLA volunteers followed to develop SLA's 23 Things along with ongoing ways we can continue to harness tools that best meet our goals in 2009 and beyond. Stephen said that short burst of ideas match adult learning styles while, at the same time, the 23 Things model offers a structure for learning. As an unanticipated consequence of applying this model, many participating libraries also saw cultural barriers across the organization reduced. Ideas Shared for 2009The below ideas shared during our unconference tie together our 2009 goals along with associated tools we plan to explore (and perhaps exploit) during 2009:

Labels: play, week, avatars, picture, frames, second, life, 23, things Play WeekFun! However, if there is any way to import the avatar I created in Yahoo Avatars, I sure haven't figured it out. Can someone help me? And Meez -- fuggedaboudit! Everything costs $ unless you want to look like a dork LOL. Similary, I couldn't figure out how to export framed photos I created in Big Huge Labs. But even though I'm not much of an exporter, I'm glad to have some hands on experience with this stuff!

We still have members signing up to do 23 Things and that is wonderful as it will be here for a long time. Here is a brief report on 23 Things statistics:
And my guess is that lots of members did about half or more of the 23 Things, but did not complete the survey. Tag Cloud

I am a *huge* fan of all things web2.0 so this is really a fun way to relax for me. I also now have an entirely different focus than when I originally created my blog. I am starting my first professional library job this September at a private PreK-12 school and I am the upper school's librarian. I will also teach a few information literacy classes AND...a web2.0 class to sophomores! I am really looking forward to it and spending time on 23things has now become all the more valuable. Thanks for organizing and encouraging us to take part!

I created my test blog weeks ago and I created my de.licious account but for some reason I don't get how I tag and bookmark the blog so that it appears on 23 Things? I just don't know what I am supposed to do where? I am missing something obvious but I am dazed and confused.

You can also leave short comments on various pages of tools you've really liked exploring. Bookmark your blog on your Del.icio.us account and tag as SLA23Things. If your blog is open, it will appear with everyone else's blog when that tag is clicked and/or in the RSS feed we set up on the right sidebar of the home page.

But I'm going to take some convincing, as at present I see all that twittering and blogging as a complete waste of my time!
BTW, I'd read that each step would require a commitment of only 15 minutes per day but I keep seeing statements like "1 hour" and even "2 hours." That kind-of stops me in my tracks a bit.

Remember: "The only constant is change" (Source: Heraclitus cited in WikiquoteRemember: "The only constant is change" (Source: Heraclitus cited in Wikiquote). Web 2.0 is a natural evolution of the Internet. Based on my Web 2.0/3.0 research and many of the tools I've explored and the handful of tools I've put into practice, we are nearing the end of Web 2.0 and have already entered Web 3.0. So, Participants... remember to leave comments on the 23 Things modules about what you are learning, your key takeaways, what you plan to put into practice in your own library, and more! Let's learn together and share our ideas.

I keep signing in to new things in the course of the 23 Things program, and scribbling down the new IDs and passwords but never all in the same place. I also find that I have to have several browser windows open concurrently to work through the 23 Things site, my blog and whatever tool I am using. Otherwise I start following links and get lost.

Also there are 9 weeks of lessons displaying at the top left. Will 4 more weeks be added, or do all 23 things occur in that 9-lesson timeframe?

You can pick which 13 things you want to do but we recommend you complete the items listed within Weeks 1 and 2 since Week 1 offers some additional introductory information and Week 2 discusses setting up a blog to record your ideas.

It would appear that I don't have the option to create a "new" widget (I'm using the free version of WordPress -- will I need to "upgrade to have this capability?). Or, am I totally missing how to do this. I found the WordPress FAQ less than helpful.

I blogged yesterday about Week 3: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati, and tagged my post using SLA23Things. I have my blog bookmarked in delicious (publicly accessible) and have it tagged using SLA23Things. However, my blog doesn't appear in the the list nor does it appear on the 23 Things page here on the SLA site. Does anyone have a solution for this? My blog is at http://www.apexinformation.com/meldinme/ and my delicious feed is http://delicious.com/apexinfo. Thanks for any help you can provide.

So, here I am, starting out weeks after the original deadline, to see what this is all about. After attending the SLA Conference in Seattle in June, I quickly became a Second Life enthusiast and have been spending loads of time there. I even wrote an article that was published in Epoch Times newspaper! I'm ready to see which 23 things I have been missing out on.

I attended SLA in Seattle last year and planned to do the 23 things immediately afterwards. Here I am, a year later, just getting started! But I am determined and have included it as one of my business goals to complete this year. Wish me luck!
