I've taken the survey. I'm still putzing around with this and that and checking to see if everything is complete or if I've missed anything. I've jumped around quite a bit. I'm still listening to the Opal lecture. It's almost done I think. They last about an hour.
I've been alternately pleased and frustrated with the 23 Things. But because of taking part in this program, I won't be nearly as nervous about trying new 2.0 stuff. It's funny because normally I enjoy getting and using new electronic gadgets--cell phones, mp3 players, electronic reading devices, laptops, webcams, palm pilots. But I use those items when I want to--they are not patron-driven or driven by when my boss wants me to use them. So there is a little more pressure to learn Library 2.0 stuff than there is to use my electronic gadgets.
That being said, it wasn't my boss who suggested signing up for 23 Things. This was strictly a voluntary project on my part. I think I first heard about it in an email. Then I put it aside because I thought it would take way too long to complete. I have done most of the Things while at home and not on the clock. I would never have time to complete them at work! It might have been neat to have our entire Information staff work on these "things" together but I think the program would have had to be presented in smaller chunks.
More later...
