Thing 23: The End?

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the 23 Things activities. I went from a Web 2.0 illiterate to a Web 2.0 maven. Well, that may be a slight exaggeration. Some of my favorites were the RSS feeds--something I look at almost everyday, the Image Generator--it was just fun, and the URL shorteners--I always wondered what "bitly" or "tinyurl" meant.I can see possibilities for using Chat and Screencasting here in the library. The "In Plain English" video were very helpful and made concepts easy to understand. Thank-you to all the participants who went before me--I read all your blogs to get help and insight on each of the activities. I look forward to doing something like this again.

Thing 22: Podcasts

I used the NPR podcast directory to download and listen to Culturetopia. It is great to download and listen at your leisure. And how wonderful for a student who misses a class to be able to listen to a podcasted lecture. I don't think I will be subscribing; I have all those audiobooks to listen to first! If I had a beautiful voice and something worthy to say I might make my own.
