This maybe the end of 23 Things, but it is definitely a beginning for me. Using these new tools has jump started my brain. Some of these things, I'll use for myself, others I'll see about using here at the library. I think that we will need a small committee to decide how best to use these tools and add value for our patrons.
My favorite discovery was flickr. It makes it easy for me to share photos with my family and coworkers. I also loved the Round Rock Summer Reading Club videos. We'd been talking about doing a video so that the schools could show it in addition to handing out the materials
As for the unexpected, I had started to use Del.ici.ous as a bookmarking tool, but I never realized just how powerful a tool it really is. Searching a tag of interest brings back a lot of sites on that specific topic that might be buried somewhere in a general google search.
If other programs were offered this way, I would definitely look in to them. I enjoyed the self-paced activities and ability to share my discoveries. As far as I know, I'm the only one that participated at my library, but I know that my coworkers have learned too, because I've shared some of my finds with them.
Kam,
Thanks for the work you've done! :D
