23. One Last Thing
I cannot begin to tell everyone how much I have learned by completing the 23 Things On a Stick program. I have become aware of new trends taking place in libraries and have become connected to others through blogs and websites such as Library Thing, Del.icio.us, 23 Things on a Stick Ning, and others. When my co-workers are discussing library business, I now recognize terms and trends that they are referring to. I have done things that I would have been too fearful of trying in the past, believing that I would blow up my computer. Now I look forward to joining or signing up at sites to see what new information is available. This has opened a whole new world for me, and given me the confidence to pursue it on the Internet. This online learning experience for me in one word is EMPOWERMENT. I would participate in any program offered again by library people.

Hurrah! You've finished the program, learned a lot, and written about it (very informatively and entertainingly as well). You've learned technology is a tool you can use, not fear. I've enjoyed reading your blog posts and seeing your development as you became more confident during the 23 things program. Look for a new 23 things program sponsored by the MN multitypes this winter. Your choice of one word ENPOWERMENT is great and what we hoped to accomplish by offering the 23 Things on a stick program.
