Thing Two

OK, I will admit that I printed several of the articles for Thing Two out on paper. I enjoy being able to write words and concepts right on the paper and underline and circle things. Some people still learn that way. I asked a couple of my 23 Things co-workers if they printed some of the articles. One person told me that she wanted to but didn't. Then I took a look at several round two blogs to see if other participants did the same. I didn't see a comment about it. At any rate, I noticed that while writing comments with a pen on the printed articles, I came up with a nice list of key words relating to Library 2.0 and Web 2.0. Here is the list:
Engaging, Interactive, Participatory, Collaboration, Conversation, Community, Connections, Presence, Feeling, Relationships, Sharing, Relevant, Convocation, Experience, Service, Product, Commodity, Engagement, Strategy, Consequences, Concept.
After reading the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 articles I came across something called "word clouds." I found a cloud made up of Web 2.0 related words. It fits with my Thing Two learning experience, so I will link it to my blog for viewing.

Thing One

One down, twenty two to go. I am happy that I have two co-workers at my library participating in this adventure with me. We have already asked each other for assistance and advice. We have joked that our three avatars might go out for a meal or coffee together. This blog took some time to set up. But really it wasn't too hard. I am already learning a lot and it is only thing one.
