This was much more of a time consuming journey than I had planned, but it was fruitful and necessary-- and mostly fun. This is probably one lifelong learning project that I would have put off this summer if it had not been required. I was surprised how much was packed into each Thing. Some of them had quite a few parts to look at and act upon.
My favorites and those I feel will be most useful and used by me were:
image generators, Rollyo, wikis, Delicious, Flicker toys and mashups, Shelfari, Photostory, TeacherTube and U Tube, google docs, making my avatar, and blogging in general. There was so much! Having us blog about each thing, inserting pictures and products each time, really has taken all of the fear out of blogging, and has made it really fast to do. I will definitely transform this blog into a library blog next year.
Thanks to the kickball catains--Please leave the Library2play site up all year so we can refer back to it while we start to apply all of these things in real life.
If more Things are offered later, I think it would be nice to introduce maybe 10 things at a time per semester or summer. It was quite a daunting task at the beginning and there would be no way I could have done it during the school years. I can't imagine trying to do all of the original "43 Things" in a row. I would participate in a shorter online version to explore more of Web 2.0 or similar technology applications for the library.
