I have chosen to work through the 23 Things program from SLA, and started this week with Week 1. (Novel, I know!) Make sure you watch the catchy little song they wrote about lifelong learning and the 23 things program. Very funny.
The first week consists of Things 1 and 2- read this wiki entry and the information about the program.
The first challenge was to register for the program and to set up a wiki in Confluence, the wiki chosen by SLA. (My home page, not yet expanded.) I explored the background information and comparison charts of the different wikis available, and the instructions and tutorials for designing and editing pages in Confluence. (I am a hands on learner, though, so most of that will come into use through actually creating pages with trial and error, not reading about it.) I have used the wiki at pbworks before for a previous class, but I did not know that there were so many available options. (What? You want to see my pbworks wiki? Of course! Here you go...It is an electronic literature anthology for LAE Literature in a Diverse Society, entitled Ideal4kids...)
I found the tutorials very informative, and I am sure that I will be revisiting them a lot.
Stay tuned for Week 2, Things 3 and 4, where I learn how to create and write a blog. (I know...)
