The finishing post



Well this is the last post from me. 
It has been an interesting journey, some weeks was harder to get motivated than the other weeks. Only as other pressing work needed attention.

I really did enjoy discovering different modules, really enjoyed learning about Doodle (have since signed up and used for invitations) Google Glass just surprised me.

It's opened me up to different ideas and ways of doing things, I think I'll be less cynical about new and emerging technologies. (except Facebook)

I liked the format of the weekly emails and found the exercises and layout really easy to read and follow.

I've been spruiking the 23 Things to my colleagues from the halfway point of 23 Things. I'll be encouraging the rest of my team to undertake the next 23 Things journey.

Thank you Kate for organising this and giving us feedback every week.




Thing 22 one to go...

Today I looked at PLN's. (Personal Learning Networks)

I had never heard the term before, but had heard of LinkedIn.
I decided to take a look at LinkedIn, as I've never used it before.

I was surprised at how many people here in the library are on it, even some of my friends in different organisations.

I'm glad it's a lot less personal than Facebook, so I will join up. Not sure how much information I'll contribute though, I wouldn't like to misrepresent the University.

I was glad to see familiar library faces on the ACU profile of LinkedIn too.

At the moment, my PLN is purely email based and very small. Just my ACU colleagues and former colleagues really. I really must embrace the change and broaden my horizons!
