Here I am "Thing #10"... playing around with WIKI. I am enjoying learning all the new sources available through the "THINGS" but to remember it all ?? some days I feel like I am going in circles. But I have learned some new things and hope I can pass it on to our patrons. Happy 4th, a day of rest tomorrow.

Well, I'm completely confused now. I thought I added a page but now I haven't a clue what has happened to it. I was going on about not really trusting wikis because anybody could pretend to be an authority while also saying that it is fun to pretend I have authority and actually understand what is going on. If any of you find my suppposed page, enjoy it! Carol Christine 7/2/2008
I agree with Sandra that this looks like a good place for a Kilroy Was Here. For those readers too young to have heard of Kilroy, see http://www.kilroywashere.org/001-Pages/01-0KilroyLegends.html. There is, of course, also an entry in Wikipedia, but you can look that up.

As a Round 2er, I am glad to say that I have gotten this far. I enjoyed the wiki video and found a podcast video from the same site that I would like to show to my multimedia class this year before we start our podcasting unit. I have started writing down the ideas that I have as I work through the 23 things, because I know I will forget them otherwise. I am pretty sure that if I have time to finetune 2 or 3 ideas, it will be as much as I can handle. Someone earlier referred to this as a kind of "stream-of-consciousness" wiki; I think it's sort of like a "Kilroy-was-here-type- graffiti wall. I enjoyed all of the comments that I read, but have to keep movin' on.

When it comes to contributing, I've no experience with wikis at all. But, I do like to read them. As a Teen librarian, I'm freshly interested in Steampunk. Here is a good Wiki listing some titles: http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/Steampunk_and_Neo-Victorian Donell 6/24/2008
June 22nd - So, here I am editing a wiki. I will admit, my only previous experience with this "genre" has been taking 4th and 5th graders onto Wikipedia to find some quick info. I, too, am fairly (and pleasantly) surprised at how easy it is to edit on here. I am tempted to write something "blasphemous" to see if someone will change it - but my creativity escapes me at this time. 10 down, 13 to go!!!!!!!!

I think much of the Web 2.0 stuff is pretty cool. I occassionally teach on many aspects of wikis and other social software at the academic library where I work. This coming school year I hope to use wikis and/or blogs as discussion tools for an environmental book the whole campus is going to read as well as for a theatre trip my wife and I are leading to Dublin this May. I've always been amazed at the amount and intensity of the debate surrounding Wikipedia, especially as it pertains to its use as a reference tool. C'mon people, reference sources are meant to be background material, not actual research content. At least not at the college level where I work currently. Personally, I use Wikipedia quite a bit as a starting point if I'm researching a topic, or to see a list of other sources. It's interesting that Wikipedia is considering adding a new feature that would allow articles to be frozen by experts.
Today is my last day at work until early June. My wife and I are going to London and Scotland. The highlight for both us is a day at Wimbledon! Here's a picture for any tennis fans out there.

I love Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes. I thought this comic wrapped up what I am doing for 23 Things On a Stick. JUST KIDDING!!! I am using Wikis a lot. I used them professionally with my third grade team to help organize grade level groups, created a fun Wiki for staff to relax with about movies, made a Wiki for my girlfriend's family to use scheduling in time to take care of their father after his back surgery, and I have a Wiki that I use with my girlfriend to schedule our activities together.
-Jon Zetah 6/19/08
Wow--this IS easy. I lurked through the first round, and registered for round 2 to help keep me motivated. Obviously I agree with PPs that this wiki should be better organized, but as a tool to introduce people to the concept, I think it works fine. And I'm going to refrain from the temptation to add an ironic image of a librarian. --Rudyinparis 6/16
I am also continuing the second round of 23 Things. I was out of the loop for awhile - having many changes taking place in the public library where I work. Some of the earlier 23 things were a bit confusing, but this Wiki stuff looks fun -- and easy. I hope to revist and post here often. Lois 6/14/08
I am continuing from Round 1 to Round 2 of the 23 Things. This is very easy to take part in, and I wish that all Things were this way. Very interesting comments and photos. Gail 6/13/08
Presente! SL, Duluth MN 06/09/08

Ok, let's see if we can get this wiki thing learned before I set one up for our summer reading program which starts in just 2 days... I can do it, right?
-Ingvild 6/3/08
This Wiki IS a mess! I can see how useful a wiki can be, but I can also see how one can get out of control! I like how easy it is to use and edit this wiki. We need some organization people! ~Jennifer 6.03.08
Agreed, this is a crazy Wiki at this point but it's still quite fun and amazing to think what a group of people could put together if they were trying to create something rather than make a huge, random collaborative mess - Amanda 6/30/08
Oh, man! This Wiki is a mess - how can people who work in libraries stand it? Shudder. :-) We could put all the quotes in one section, all of the pet pictures and comments in another. Have a third for sports... we could go on, and on. Who volunteers to clean it up? Laura 6/3/08.
May 30th- I am working away on Round 2 of 23 Things on a Stick. Making good progress. I moved Bonnie's picture down under her text. ohlgrend
Just logged onto this site and downloaded a picture of pelicans from South Padre island Tx that I took in Feb of 2008. This was a great exercise. Thanks. Bonnie Adams 6/30/08.
hey. just started this 23 things. enjoying the tasks so far. excited for more. wikis are fun!.....js
Hi! Wikis are great...but the information on them is only as good as the posters...so you have to learn how to be discerning. - Michelle
Well - this is fun. I am looking forward to taking part in creating a wiki for a work project. This seems to be a good tool for small libraries to create a presence on the web.
Yes, very easy to edit this page. I hear they are doing round two of 23 Things ... so those of us losers that didn't finish last month can now try and finish by the fall and WIN PRIZES!
May 4th and I'm still working on 23 Things.
pril 30th 10:00 a.m. It is very, very easy to edit this pages.
28 April - I'm experimenting with this. Wikis can be fun but how can you ever trust the "information" you find on them????
I am way over the deadline but I am going to push on and finish.
Not going to make the deadline, I'm afraid, but will still finish the 23 Things! This is fun!
Just checking this out... fun stuff! =)
April 16th, 3:33pm, I would agree, I'm hoping to make the deadline as well.
April 16th, 2:30pm I'm really running out of time too!!! I'm pushing to make the midnight deadline.
April 16th 9:30 a.m. really running out of time!!!
April 16th 3:36 a.m. And I am still working. I am dedicated!!!
April 15, 2008....The race is on to finish in time.
April 15, 2008... only on Thing 10 and running out of time.
April 15, 2008. Tax day. Someone else was editing this for over 5 minutes. I hope I didn't bump them out. Didn't let me in until 5 minutes was up. Said something about stealing to get in -- I hope I was not being wicked on the wiki by clicking that!
April 14, 2008. So many comments here! I wish I had checked this out before now.
April 14, 2008 Thank you for putting together the 23 things curriculum :)
April 14, 2008 It's Beautiful outside and I'm stuck on the Computer. 2 more days!!
14 April 2008 The race is on to make it through the rest of the Things before the deadline. I'm not sure, what with donor relations, taxes, etc. still hanging fire, that I'll be able to make it, but we'll soldier on and see. Added to all of this, the weather has finally turned nice and the outdoors are beckoning. Onward and upward!
4-14-208 I'm doing my 23 Things all out of order! I created an account on pbwiki about a year ago, and I can't for the life of me remember what the page or account was! I was just testing it to see if some javascript widgets were working, and how they looked. kph
4-1408--Working on my 23 things:-) It has been fun to learn new and find out that I actually have done some of the "things" already which means I am not as out of date as I thought. It is sunny and bright outside today. Finally!! Any more snow--and I think we will need to re-evaluate that groundhog!!

Oh Boy! I can tell my kids in college that I contributed to a Wiki! They will be so proud!I like the video of planning the camping trip by using a Wiki. I go to the Boundary Waters every summer with a group of 6 women, and I think using a wiki could possibly make it simpler for us. Robin Suhsen
This is easy to edit - once you get the password correct.
April 13, 2008 Catching up on my 23 things also :) Loved the kitty picture below.
13 April 2008 - Sunny Sunday here in Mankato. I'm catching up on all my 23 things this weekend. Wiki's are great for group sharing. We use a wiki in our library. The only problem is to keep people using it. Once they are used to one method of file sharing, it is tough to get them to try something new.
12 April 2008 ~ Snowy again.
April 11, 2008: How fun to be a part of the 23 Things. I never ever thought I could do a WiKi. Time is running out, I better move on to another THING. Thank you very much. pro
April 11, 08: I too am enjoying working on 23 things and not sure if I will finish on time. I thought a wiki would be great addition to our library webpage for book reviews.
April 11, 08: I am enjoying working on "23 things", not sure if I will finish but I will try. As I watched the video about wikis, I thought creating a wiki as part of my final project for MN Vol. Certification would be a great for receiving input and collaboration from others. LK
4-11-08 Like the last post, I am also spending a very snowy day trying to catch up on my 23 things. I had to get a new computer last week and am really struggling with all of the new features. Glad to know that so many are still on Thing 10 too. JKH
4-11-08 I am spending my snow day at home on the computer working on 23thingsonastick. Hopefully the electricity doesn't go out. I have enjoyed working on all the projects, but the problem is finding the time. The wiki could be a useful tool at school for projects that need to be worked on by several staff. The wiki seems quite easy to use. Northcountrystick
4.10.08 I write this while sitting in my room at Ruttgers Resort. The drive here was challenging but I am sure that it will be worse tomorrow! This year Spotlight promises to be stellar! Jim Trelease and DJ Machale! I can hardly wait, but while I am waiting, I will work on my 23 Things! BAB
4.10.08 I am glad to see others have just finished #10. I hope that I can finish on time. AJB
4/10/08 Thanks so much 23 things for all this education! I probably won't finish the 23 things on time but am glad it will be available after 4/16. BJH
4/10/08 We have a Wiki as our library's internal "Staff Net" page. When we switched to this format (rather than HTML) it became so much easier for all staff to participate in keeping the content current and relevant. KE
4/9/08 Working on thing 10. Looking forward to trying out a wiki in our library. je
4/09/08 -- Learning about wikis, thing 10 on our list. I attended a workshop at MLA last year about wikis & learned so much, this "refresher" course is great, too. What a wonderful way for much input from so many people! This is my first time adding to a wiki & I was glad to see that there is some accountability, with signing in--I would hope it would help with the accuracy of information being submitted. I think this is a very useful thing! jms
4/9/08 - Using a Wiki is somewhat of a new experience for me. I can see how useful a Wiki could be in a Library setting. cw
4/8/08 - LOL yes it's a busy day on the Wiki, for all of us working through the series before next week. Anyway, I enjoy wikis, and having to log on for permission to edit handles one of my wiki-related hesitations nicely: the ability for anyone to alter pages without authority. Thing #10 off and away. SS
4-8-08 That was easy enough. Thing 10 check. MA
4-8-08 My wiki-experiences have been good as both auser and creator. TIES Conference had a wikispace that was great for presenters and participants alike. I was able to virtually attend a few seminars by checking out their wikispace and passing the information along to others and since I presented I felt like having my wiki gave my presentation a bigger audience too. LL MediaBreath
4-7-08 I'm so happy I'm not the only one on Thing 10. The video was good. It finallyThing 10So far, so good!The "23 things" is a great exposure to so many web tools that I had not known or tried. Isn't it great, though, that the main subject of this Wiki of late is still "all about the books" and how we can best promote them through these tools? (DaMeMu)If the idea behind a wiki is the communal sharing of knowledge, let's share some knowledge! How about everyone shares their best idea for marketing books - to the audience you specialize in? For example, a "staff top ten/five star" table in our Media Center has morphed in to many "favorite" tables around our Media Center. The kids wanted to get involved, so we had them submit book reviews (we came up with a form that we printed on neon colored cardstock) and invited kids to review books they had read. We put their reviews in the book they read and now have them displayed on tables with signs like, "CPHS Students Give These Books Five Stars!" These tables are the first place students go when they come into the Media Center to look for a book!In honor of Nancy Pearl's upcoming visit to Minnesota, I would love to hear the ideas of my colleagues for "selling" books to their patrons! trainingwheels. At ERHS we are placing cards with short "enticing" statements about the book sitting above it. I saw it in a bookstore once and thought it was a great idea. I have tried to get the students to do a podcast about their books - have had little success. I like the idea about tables with top ten books. We are going to try that. Wikis are a great resource when people contribute. (runawaytrain)**
- clicked that the big draw of wikis is that everyone can edit ... kw
4-7-08. Again with the signing in. Can somebody please invent a one-stop shop for passwords/accounts? THAT would be valuable to me... hh
4-7-08 im in ur wicki editn ur page... thing 10 finito... mm
4-70-08 I'm workin' on Wiki today thanks to a 15" snow day! Thanks 23 things! pmk
4-7-08 This is a useful tool for communication. I can see how useful it could be for planning among group members who are a distance apart and no travel budget. MS
4-7-08 Amazing how easy a wiki can be! -JB
4-7-08 This was easier than I thought, and now Thing #10 is done. JZ
4-7-08 Thing #10 - complete! Vicky
4-6-08 My brother uses a wiki with his colleagues to put up, share and edit support materials for his job. He has found it to be very helpful in kepping everyone up to date on changes and updates to policies and issues that affect their patrons. I can see that something similar would work well in our library. As a place to maintain procedures or common problems that need to be passed from person to person expecially between shifts.
4-6-08 Our school used a wiki to discuss the shift in our student population towards poverty. It was effective in inviting those who might not speak up verbally to have a voice. Of course, this wikidemonstrates the negative aspects of an unedited wiki, too. How is this helpful to anyone? It feels like stream-of-conscious thoughts -- the voices of many people standing in a room talking to no one in particular. Naomi
4-6-08 My son, a college senior, was working on a wiki assignment for his Japanese language class this afternoon. His assignment was to post three photos and describe a travel experience (in Japanese). lynn
4-5-08 Wikis are great because they allow for such simple collaboration. I appreciated the CommonCraft video once again. The students at my middle school think Wikipedia is the greatest thing, and I would agree. We have discussed the difference between a wiki and a website. Teachers are beginning to caution students on the reliability of Wikipedia, and that is good. My son's college librarian says Wikipedia is prohibited from college-level research. Somewhere in the learning process there's lots of information to evaluate.... For now, though, Wikis are growing like crazy. (rockyb.)
4-3-08 MAW Here again. Had signed up to get this wiki's notifications and my first notice made it look like someone deleted the whole
thing! But I see that it is all back. So either the person figured out how to get the page back OR someone else came in and put it all to rights.
The idea of setting up a wiki so that our library users could list items that they would like us to get (not that we have the funds for acquisiton...another story) is something we are going to give some thought to. No idea that this was so straightforward. I can see other uses for wikis outside of the library too, in other collaborative areas of life!!!
(4/3/08, Fire/EMS/Safety Library)
Just dropping in to say hi and make sure I can edit. I'm going to by much more enthusiastic about the unused wiki on our staff web now that I know how they could be used.
How nice that I can edit this Wiki without studying the Wiki formatting. Thank you, 23 Things!
I tried to insert an image (jpg) but it displayed at a gigantic size...don't know how to shrink the image here, so no picture of the cardinal in my pine tree. So many more Things...so little time. (4/1/08 bjw)
Wow, editing a wiki is extremely easy. (4/1/08 LAS)
Ok, this was pretty easy. I've used pbwiki in my personal and work life, so nothing new here. Love it though! --sw 4-5-08
A quick entry: What I think is great about Wikis is that they can be a wonderful way to collaborate, as demonstrated by a few of the examples linked to the "23 Things" site. I was sorry to see that the Best Practices site was no longer active! My most recent strategies for promoting fiction-reading among high school students are:
- heavy weeding in the fiction collection --- I LOVE THIS! I'm doing some major weeding right now, too -- HUGE believer in making the shelves inviting vs. just full!! (4/1/08 - pjs)
- replacement of unattractive editions of "classics" with PRETTY new copies (even though classics shouldn't be judged by their covers, young people do it all the time!)
- lots of books on display
- lots of conversations with students about what they like to read
- going to a bookstore the same day a student requests a title, buying it and processing it immediately, checking it out to the student the very next day
- hosting a drawing for student READ posters (using the ALA software)--students fill out a form telling about a favorite book, and they win a poster of themselves holding that book, which I post in the front window of the Media Center.
Fiction circulation has more than doubled since I took the steps listed above! (4/1/08 dkadams)
Thank goodness for a snow day! It gave me some time to work on my 23 things. I had a snow day, too. That meant a library full of kids who weren't in school. My favorite promotion idea after browsing through some of the library wikis is to start a library blog and ask the students what they like to read and what they want me to order. A wiki would allow them to add directly on to the site. Kris 4/2/08 Another idea I came back with from a workshop - a librarian left a pile of books on a table that needed to be shelved. The students came in and asked if they could check them out. After that, she has permanently left a pile of "ready to be shelved" books on a table! (3/31/08 Jean Haberman) |
Just a quick note to check out the ease of adding/editing information to a wiki for . It sounds like we are going to get another helping of Spring snow...stay warm and drive safe. The students here at ERHS are already doing their "2-Hour Late Start Dance", wishing for tomorrow! (3/31/08, SZSRocks, Zoma.Olson@elkriver.k12.mn.us)
I love this photo. So Minnesotan! Is no one taking credit for it?
Celebrating storybook characters in some way tied to a project is always fun. Here's the birthday cake my husband bought for me a couple days ago. It would be great for a storyhour or end of reading program event. 3/31/08 Linda/nclc23@gmail.com
04/08/08 Hi Linda -- What a great cake from a thoughtful husband. Was the cake chocolate too... Gasp! I have a Curious George collection and my name is Linda too! End of doppelganger though since we have different birthdays.

My idea for marketing books this past week was to center it on the baseball theme since it is the MN Twins opener Monday. Abner and Me by Dan Gutman (Baseball Card Adventure series) and Finding Buck McHenry by Alfred Slote were a couple of the books that I promoted. Swindle by Gordon Korman was new at the book fair and sold out. I'm just starting the book, but the plot is about a boy who is swindled out of a million dollar baseball card. I can't wait to see how the adventure unfolds. Grade levels: 4-6 (3-31-08 Media Talk 23) I like the baseball theme. Another one to try is Heat by Mike Lupica. Here is a picture of me and my cousin at the Twins game. (4/3/08 Tracy's 23 Things)

Gosh, one could really mess with someone else's notes here! I don't really feel brave enough to EDIT someone else's words, but that was my impression of the wiki concept prior to this exercies; sort of the collective wisdom of many people about a topic, idea, thing, issue, experience etc... I will however, make a background color change. Here goes. Yellow. Interesting. This page took an incredible amount of time to load with dial-up. MAW
I appreciate your ideas for marketing books. I have also tried scanning a book cover and putting it on the morning video announcements. This has brought in quite a few students to checkout the books we have. Debbie
Reader participation is key to the "marketing" of books at the public library. I would love to see reader reviews linked up to the online catalog. Libraries like Ann Arbor have patron tagging on their catalog. I think that the Hot Reads/Cold Nights program elicited a lot of feedback from patrons as to the books that they read, and these were very passionate readers. It would be great to get that feedback to the library as a whole. Karen O. (Library Ratatouille, 3/27/08)
Here I am--edting a wiki. Can you believe it? I love this 23 things program. There is so much to learn and not enough time by April 16. I hope they leave the 23things site up for a couple months after so we can continue to explore. Some of these "things" need a lot more time to explore. Just thought I'd share a picture with you! Alice
I agree with you. Time is a big issue. I am going to take a graduate class on 2.0 things this summer, so I hope that will reinforce what we have been doing here. Debbie
...Hi Alice...hate to crash your entry here (but that's what a wiki is all about, isn't it??) Just want to suggest that you edit your paragraph to tell everyone something more about this picture--such as what is it showing??...a gym or something? In a high school ? Or someplace else?? And where is it located?...or is this just a generic picture found on the net that you just put up here to see if you can? Please tell....your library friend, Shocker boy
Just poking around here and noting the similarities between this and the HTML editor features of our web site software and Desire2Learn. Transferable skills and an important tool as we continue to learn new stuff! The photo looks like a "Union Station" someplace! MA
Time is moving fast and I only have a couple more weeks left to get 13 more things done before April16. So I will make this edit short.
(Lynette the Library Lady)
Just a quick line to let you know I was here. Need to keep going to get 23 Things done. 1123onstick
Yes Spring is officially here but I'm not planting my potatoes yet. Jan the trackstar
It's a good thing that winter has extended it's stay in northern Minnesota, because I was afraid spring would arrive and I would not have yet finished the 23 Things. Seems like this Easter weekend has given me a little reprieve. Once the snow is gone and the earth dries up, I won't be spending any extra time in front of my computer! There are too many things (gardens, puppy, horses, lakes) that will swallow up all those free minutes!! That means I better get moving from this Wiki, update my blog and get on with Thing 11!

This is my first sentence of a wiki. Sounded brilliant, didn't it. Well off to make my own wiki for a class at school perhaps. Thanks for 23 Things! Happy Spring! (soon?)
Whee, I am in! This is pretty cool. I am wondering what the difference between something like GoogleDocs and this is; maybe it's the same as Coke and Pepsi...? (librarygoddess--23Things)
Yipee - I'm in! I was having trouble with thing #9, so skipped to #10 for now. I seen some pretty interesting things in the various wikis I've looked at tonight. And this isn't hard - I like that! P. Andersen
My first time...ever... in editing a wiki. Painless and easy. HAPPY EASTER!!
Me, too, doing Thing 10. I have a wiki myself, but haven't done much with it when I couldn't talk my sister into collaborating with me on a writing project. District policy against student accounts (!) so far has limited my use with students. This too must change! Ann P.
Hi There....this is kind of fun. I think this is an incredible tool that we all should be using. I am learning so much in the 23 things! I best keep working and learning.
thecrazylibrarylady was here and has nothing to say! but she was here, that's what counts...I'm feeling pressed for time to get done so I must move on...hope to come back to wikis soon and work with this...seems like a productive idea!
PG WAS HERE! I'M HAVING FUN WITH STICKS BUT HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO. I'M ON 10 AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO 23! THE END SEEMS SO CLOSE YET SO FAR! (My very sad attempt at poetry:))
------PG 23 THINGS ON A STICK------
I have never done anything like this and have trouble finding the time to stay with any of the THINGS for very long. I agree that it seems like it goes on forever. This looks like it could really be alot of fun and I am looking forward to coming back to wikis in the near future. Will I ever get to 23??????.....Onidakitchen
What a fun way to link up with other people that are working on the same project. Thank you to "23 Things on a Stick" for all these great learning things!
I am doing this for Thing #10. I've enjoyed working on the Things & even tho it's taken lots of time, I'm glad I did it. I know this entry is boring, but it's hard to think between helping 10 patrons at once! Susan
23 things on a stick are fun... I also like Ice cream on a stick.

I was here!--This is my efolio--just a start.efolio attempt--not done!
The soon to be extinct Britannicas. Do you remember the last time you opened one?
--all ears
!
Our Britannicas are used as weights more than encyclpedias. Does that count as a marketing technique? Not!
It was very interesting reading people's ideas of how to highlight books in the library, I wish I had more time to make really nice displays. It was really easy to do. Kathy
There is nothing so wonderful as reading a good mystery book with a purring cat on your lap. I am not really a dog person.

I'll leave a few Haiku's I have been adding to our libraries blog.
Cars that will not start
It even hurts to breath in
How long until spring
Roses are reddish
Violets are kinda pink
Yet spring is far off
See you later, Chris from "My 23 Things on a Stick Blog"
My suggestion for marketing books: I have the kids do the work. In the fall I modeled booktalking with the 12 nominees for the Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award. and then I've had students carry on. Every class I ask for three volunteers to booktalk a book they have read that they think others would like too.

This is the same type Wiki we developed for our library as a way to communicate among staff. MS

One of Rabbit's tracks for life, the universe and 23 Things on a Stick.
I enjoyed looking at the MN 150 wiki. Feels a little safer to add something on this wiki for a start. E.B.
Stick to It almost got stuck!
momlaz finally figured this out! wahoo!!

Finally done with #10. Now I just need to go back to my blog and write about all this. I am amazed at all that is available!!
Headfones survived and is moving on.
Thankfully pbwiki doesn't insist that you create in html format. Is there a wiki about wikis?
Howdee from way out in the sticks. Look me up when you are down South in Blue Earth! CoriatLib
Mrs. Hermann was here. I'm digging the wiki world. I still won't allow wikis as a reliable source for research papers though.
Hey, Mrs. Hermann! Good to see you here! In my opinion, wikis serve much the same purpose for research as encyclopedias: A good place to get background information but never to be cited as a source. I hope you are teaching your students a nuanced view like that and not just implementing a "No Wikis Under Any Circumstances" policy.
I've been too busy to do 23Things! Welcome to spring in the media center! Anyone else have that frazzled feeling that spring is here?
Frazzled? I think it would be easier to do 23Things in summer or fall, but NOT spring!
Is there EVER a good time to add an extra 23 Things to your scedule?! I'm having WAY too much fun figuring all this out. The coolest part is sharing the excitement with others. What better way than WIKI? - Having fun in the woods, Becky
I think this Small Town Librarier has this wiki thing figured out!
Wikis -- fun but time consuming. Carolvan

CadetReader salutes wikis--and understands them better after reading this.
was here!
Ok, there are too many cat lovers out there is looks like. My little 2 1/2 pound dog likes to sit and read mysteries on my lap. I thought that making changes on modifications to a wiki is a lot easier than using google docs. Unfortunately the only picture I have of my dog on my new computer is our christmas picture. Have a great day everyone!

I think 23 Things on a Stick should be offered to all teachers. I am having fun with all of these web 2.0 tools and hope to gain access at school too. dk@ marshall, mn

Just stopping by to check out the wiki! It's been great fun playing with the various tools, and now it is on to Thing #11! M. Lynn

YAAAYYY!! I like this Thing. It's so easy! I like your idea about the student book reviews. ♥Freezapop signing off :)
I am excited about the wiki. I can think of many uses, but the one foremost in my mind is a book review wiki. That way students can comment on my reviews and add their own. I like the idea of seeing the edits, so that I can monitor the entries. --gjc
Coming as part of 23Things. We're using a wiki at work to document things that some of us do regularly, and some of us don't. (I run many stat calculations that the Middle and Lower Schools do less often, for example.) - Jen Arnott (modernhypatia)
I'm only on Thing 10 with April just around the corner...better move on to the next task! MS, 3-30-08
Well this is the first time something has worked for me since Thing 5. I want to get to the end of 23 so this will my only entry.

I am also only on Thing #10 and its the 2nd of April. I have enjoyed doing all of the 23 Things on a Stick. I just need to make sure that I do at least 2 of them every night. I have to say that I have learned alot of good stuff. I hope all of the links stay active because I want to spend more time this summer "redoing" all of the 23 things.
This was a great idea. (TL)
This is my first entry on a wiki. Hopefully, it won't be my last. This has been a great learning experience (although very frustrating at times!). Maybe our library needs a wiki as an anonymous suggestion box for ideas on ways the library could improve its materials and services. lutefisk 23 4-2-08
Grace checking out the wiki...
This is a very LONG wiki. Nothing quick about getting to the end if you want to read everything. Never know when there will be some useful nugget...
This page is sort of like the internet in microcosm: typos, pictures of pets nobody but their owner cares about, time sucker, etc. -nathan hall 4-10-08
Well I am glad that they decided to give the 23 stick things a second chance. I just didn't have time to work on it. But I do now. I don't know that I would totally trust a wiki (like in Wikipedia Brown) but I can see where they are useful. Sarah 5/22
I am surprised at how easy it is to edit a wiki. Is that a good thing?? Maybe not but its fun.
