Week 1: Introduction ( official start of week June 4th)
1. Read this blog & find out about the program.
i did that after i realized i had not fully read the all the instructions and i was not registered. i got registered and saw my name on the blog list of smrla participants and i was hopeful that i could do this. it seemed really easy. just register and do some little activity. boy was i wrong.
2. Discover a few pointers from lifelong learners and learn how to nurture your own learning process. okay i listened/read this lil video. i even blogged about it right here http://kdf333.blogspot.com/2007/07/7-12-habits-habits-i-have-tried-and.html
Week 2: Blogging
3. Set up your own blog & add your first post.
well i did that first. my first post was about the 7'12 habit video we watched.
4. Register your blog and Track your progress to journey into Learning 2.0 together.
see this is the thing i had to go and do like in week three because i thought signing up was the same thing as registering.
Week 3: Photos & Images
5. Explore Flickr and learn about this popular image hosting site.
well i definitely did this. here's a couple of blogs where i did that.

6. Have some Flickr fun and discover some Flickr mashups & 3rd party sites.
okay i never did get Rochelle or Raisa to show me how to do the mashup. i really want a library trading card though. i tried making one on my won. i spent an hour trying to get make it and then another hour trying to upload to my blog. as you can see (or not see as the case may be) i failed. I'll get back to this one after i finish the other things. and i did the color pickr. i didn't really explore the other links. i moved on to other things.
7. Create a blog post about anything technology related that interests you this week.
i did this thing as well. yeah! i thought i was on thing five. i am really on week five not thing five. yeah!!!!

Week 4: RSS & Newsreaders
8. Learn about RSS feeds and setup your own Bloglines newsreader account.
okay i signed up for a bloglines feeder and i have not been to it since the week i was signin up and registering. so rss feeds are not for me. i can barely keep up with my online newsletters and email. for more info http://kdf333.blogspot.com/2007/08/rss-on-bloglines.html
9. Explore MERLIN and a few useful library related-blogs and/or news feeds.
I explored MERLIN and discovered i had been to this sight before. when i was trained at SMRla i recall going to SMRLa's web page many times in the months following my training ang exploring their site and i discovered MERLIn. i singed up for MERLIn and promised it that one day I'd be back. i went back thanks to 23 things but yet again i had to promise I'd be back. i still browse it occasionally at work when the circ desk is slow.
i did sign up for the library related blogs and news feeds that were suggested, but i have not read any of my rss feeds. on live journal i occasionally go there and read some funny library blogs. nothing that would change the industry really just sharing about working at the library.
Week 5: Play Week
10. Play around with an online image generator.
oh yeah i definitely did that. i saw it on other folk's blog's and i asked rochelle how to do it s i could have a cool blog as well. this was when i discovered folks were jumping around and not doing the things in order. i can understand that. i took my meez off of my log because i made more than one and one i am still working on so she is only half dressed. well i could not figure out how to put the one that is complete and saved on my meez page on my blog. i t kept showing the one i was still working on so i just took it off. i love the online generators. i could spend hours, and hours and hours and hours..well you get the picture.

11. Take a look at LibraryThing and catalog some of your favorite books.
this was the second thing i did after i registered my blog. even before i listened to the 71/2 habit video. i recalled hearing about it at staff training day and i was excited. i love it. i also have signed up for shlefari. actually i am in just about every popular social networking site that is out here that like ringo, flixster, mychurch, bebo, you tube, myspace and facebook. funny, i rarely have time to check my email and i have dial-up at home so you probably have guessed that my pages are rarely updated. but i have an account.

12. Roll your own search tool with Rollyo
i stopped here i was stymied. ( i think that is the correct word)
http://kdf333.blogspot.com/2007/08/things-ive-done.html
well i want the ceu's so i will finish. i will i will. i will finish the 23 things by the 15 or 16 or what is that date again.....
