The 23 Things - Learning 2.0

I refer to Helene Blowers inestimable effort - 23 Things and Learning 2.0 - for libraries often. I believe that this has been one of the most transformational and viral activities to happen globally to libraries in decades. Her efforts have really made a difference.

People ask me for the links and I send them out. I thought it would be just easier if I posted some of these links here from my collection. Then you can surf and play all you like.

Enjoy. Play.

5 Weeks to a Social Library
http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/
http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/week1Credit: Meredith Farkas, Amanda Etches-Johnson and the entire 5 weeks team.
? Five Weeks to a Social Library is the first free, grassroots, completely online course devoted to teaching librarians about social software and how to use it in their libraries. It was developed to provide a free, comprehensive, and social online learning opportunity for librarians who do not otherwise have access to conferences or continuing education and who would benefit greatly from learning about social software.
? The course is taught using a variety of social software tools so that the participants acquire experience using the tools while they are taking part in the class. It uses synchronous online communication, with one or two weekly Webcasts and many small group IM chat sessions made available to participants each week.
? By the end of the course, each student develops a proposal for implementing a specific social software tool in their library.
? Course content is freely viewable and all live Webcasts are archived for later viewing.
? The course will cover the following topics:
? Blogs, RSS , Wikis , Social Networking Software and Second Life, Flickr, Social Bookmarking Software, Selling Social Software @ Your Library
? The content of this course is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share-Alike license.
? For a listing of the social software experts who will be presenting during the course, please visit the Program. You can also access content for each week of the course from the menu on this course page.
? The list of individuals participating in the course is available on the Participant Blogs page. To receive all blog content coming from the course, you can subscribe to the following RSS feed http://www.sociallibraries.com/course/blog/feed.
