About 23 Things

23 Things began in 2005 at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County (NC) Public Library as a way to familiarize the library staff with the "read/write" web or Web2.0 applications.

I participated in the California School Librarians Association 23 Things as my professional goal in the 2007-2008 school year. Since then, this type of professional development has been offered by school districts and libraries around the country (and world, I suppose. Since it is a virtual learning environment, anyone can participate!)

Each week you will explore a few things and at the end of 10 weeks, you will have created a blog, a twitter account, explored sites like Flickr, YouTube and Wikispaces. You'll reflect on what you've learned and how it can be used in your classroom practice.
