Shazam; wherever you go, there you are.
I certainly learned some things -- things that are already making a difference for our library & its community of users.
None of Kilgore 4 U, our library's delicious tags, and very little of yorklib on FLICKR existed when this L2NE exploration started. Thanks for a fascinating trip. -- Stan Schulz
This was great! Thanks for the experience. http://liziej.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
Ahhhh...The end, but is it really? I hope it is just the beginning. Thanks to all the tech folks at NLC who made this learning experience possible for us. It was wonderful and I learned so much! I expect the things I learned within this setting will be useful for me for a long time.

Thank you Allana, Christa, Susan & Michael for offering us this learning opportunity. I know I wouldn't have looked closer at a lot of these things otherwise. My final thoughts are here: http://quiltinlibrarylady.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23the-end-of-roador-is-it.html
Thank you Allana, Susan, Christa, and Michael! Your patience & endurance was phenomenal!

When I started this "thing" last October I really didn't think I would make it all the way. NLC staff has been a great support and when I got stuck very helpful. I liked the wiki, I even ended up liking youtube, I had fun with flicka and my typing is getting better with all the blogging I have been doing. With all the info on the internet, a second thing is needed. The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. Thanks for the "THINGS"More on my blog http://librarianbrenda.blogspot.com/
thanks.
http://upwardandnonward.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23-end.html
Thank you for the beginning of the amazing journey of lifelong learning!
http://leanablue.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
Thing #23! yea!!
I enjoyed knowing about the different things.
I don't know that this has really assisted or affected my lifelong learning goals.
The exception to this is that I would like to have time to go back and spend more time exploring some of these things.
Some of the training is difficult if you aren't familiar with the terms and the most difficult part has always been finding time.
If we do this again, I would like to have time to work with someone else and not have to be behind on other library work
Here are my thoughts on 2.0
http://nancysos.blogspot.com/
Thanks, NLC, for sponsoring this!
Thanks and here is my blog on the learning exercise: http://lakeverna.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23-is-this-really-end-or.html
Yahoo! I made it!
http://kidsrgreat1s.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
I think at this point we all need a little laugh:

The end of introduction to new things and ideas. The beginning of using, sharing, and further exploration. http://prairie-prose.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
One more thank you to Allana, Christa, Michael and Susan, to go along with the thanks from all the previous posts. I really do hope you do hold another class like this, as I'll be a willing participant.
http://nixnoos-caseydinah.blogspot.com/2009/1/thing-23.html
Thank you for the experience and the chance to learn new "things".
http://danaslearning.blogspot.com/
Thank you, this program was very comprehensive. Winning a MP3 player would be a bonus. See my blog to read my thoughts about this program.
I agree with Quiltin' Library Lady. I probably wouldn't have explored all of these on my on. I have more to say in my blog.

I hate making typos! I meant on my own in my comment above.
thanks for the opportunity http://joyesfirstblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-really-learned-lot-doing-ne-learns-2.html
Just learned to reread my comments before posting ... ignore typos please. Thanks to all for the adventure.

Thanks for the experience. I hope you keep up this blog site for awhile so I can reference it and get my bookmarks set. Thank you again
I also hope we can keep coming back here; it's my go-to spot for so much. I want to meet the rest of us "learners" some day; to share and laugh and complain together. Hope you have the strength to try something like this with us again. Many thanks to the Fantastic Four.

Thanks for providing such a great learning program!

We are done! I did it! See my post at:
http://lgweb20.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
I'm done. I thought it was a great program. My blog comments.
It was enlightening to learn these terms & see a small portion of what is out in cyberworld. Flickr looked useful & YouTube is certainly entertaining.Most of the other Things probably have good uses if a person is sharp enough to see them. Thank you to the NLC people for help & patience.
I can't believe I really finished all of this. Thanks. http://einekleinemusik.blogspot.com/2009/01/end-or-beginning.html
Thanks for the class! It was great to be exposed to all these new ideas.
Thank you so much for doing this!
http://caseysteachingblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/final-thoughts.html
#23 I can't believe it! When I first started I never thought I would complete all 23 things. But I did...and even before Jan 30! Thanks for making this available. I never would have explored all these sites on my own. The list of items made me accountable! Read my blog at http://kathysbookshelf.blogspot.com

Thing 23
Have always enjoyed learning. Thanks for offering the class Allana, Christa, Michael and Susan at NLC.
I finished Thing 23 on 1/23/09!

Only the Beginning -- Only Just the Start ...
http://musicmaam.blogspot.com/2009/01/beginnings.html
We did it!!! What started out as cautious optimism ended in success!
View my final post to see my thoughts.
Wrapping up....
What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
Really, most of it, but especially Flickr, Librarything, Youtube, my blog.......
How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
It has been so fragmented for me and this spells frustration. Yet, I am so excited to think, with the help of Nebraska Learns 2.0, I touched the surface of what is available.
Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
Absolutely, but I won't bore you with them. I feel as if I need time to process it all. I believe what will happen is that in my daily work here at the library I will have new tools to use, to suggest, etc.
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?And last but not least…
You have done a fantastic job--just need more time to accomplish it all (speaking only for myself.)
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again choose to participate?
Yes!
Learning is a journey of discovery, a begining, but never ending.
This program gave a "push" to enter a world of "things" that were new and different, not all good, some useful, and others....
It was a LONG trip, next time a shorter excursion would be better.
You never know what you're missing until you give it a try,
so YES, a another journey of discovery would be welcome-just a little shorter.
Thank you for setting up this program for us! Yes, I learned lots and have the tools to learn more. Please offer more education this way!http://wordsbycheryl.blogspot.com/
I learned a lot. I hope I can remember it all.
The weekly chunks of learning were great; please leave this blog up if you can as I have returned to it countless times when I have forgotten how to do something. Thanks for all of your support and information along the way.
Thank you for the great learning experience! I hope the site stays up for awhile as well, because there are some really great links to resources I haven't gotten bookmarked on my home computer yet!

http://mrsjustice.blogspot.com
Game Over! Continue? You bet! This was great!
I can't believe it's the end -- or is it just the beginning of learning new things. Thank you for setting up this program.

Thing 23 is completed, only a lifetime of "things" to go:
http://lllearnersblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/thing-23.html
#23
When I began this journey I wasn't sure I could complete it but here I am at the end. I fill like I am just beginning. I have learned a great deal, but now I need to go back and utilize each thing I looked at and spend more time on them. I just scratched the surface and have a great deal to learn. What a journey. I had never looked at Twitter, or Delicious and now am involved. I would love to take part in another discovery if and when you host it. Please let me know what a wonderful job you did on presenting Nebraska Learns 2.0. Thank you.
What a great way to learn about all of "things" available on the web. I learned so much and still have so much more to learn. Thank you for the experience and for all of the support.
Wow! Thing 23! HERE are my thoughts on this journey we've taken together.
Thanks for such a wonderful learning experience.
http://nelearns2.blogspot.com/2009/01/learns-20-wrap-up.html
I think this is the beginning - of realizing that I can explore some of these in more depth, and maybe more technology "things" on my own. This was a great learning experience! Thanks Allana, Michael, Christa, and Susan.
Here is my blog:
http://kerikreations.blogspot.com/2009/01/yea-i-made-it-to-thing-23.html
Definitely a beginning! Now starts the application level of figuring out how to use some of the "Things" we have learned to create better communication and service for our library patrons. I really did answer most of your questions in my blog! I think ther are at least 13 staff members from HPL that have completed, so we have lots to process. Thanks again valiant NLC staff!
Learning all these Things has been great. My favorites are; LibraryThing, RSS, podcast and slideshare. In the near future, I can see myself using the following 'Things' for the library: RSS, wiki, and podcast.
It is very useful to see videos or presentations on 'how to'. As I mentioned before I do enjoy learning but I have trouble figuring out somethings. For example, I'm learning how to kneat and I'm having trouble with my second scarf. Now I have other sites besides YouTube where I can search for 'how to'. I'm also looking forward to incorporate some of the 'Things' in Teen Tech Week, while teaching Internet, and communicating with our local community.
Yesterday when I was trying to leave my comment for Thing #23, my computer kept switching me to Thing #22 for some reason so my comment got put in the wrong place. Anyway, my blog for #23, The End or the Beginning, is at: http://raelearns.blogspot.com/2009/01/23-end-or-beginning.html
And once again, thank you Allana, Christa, Michael and Susan for all your work setting this up, encouraging us and monitoring our progress!
This was great! Thanks for the opportunity to learn so much about so many things. I really liked Myheritage, googledocs, zohowriter, librarything, and more. I'm happy I will be better able to help customers who want this info.

Thank you for this incredible opportunity! WOW! CE's are just a bonus compared to what I learned and the confidence I now have.

WOOT! Very cool. Lot's of fun.
Ah crap...now I don't have any excuse not to process books tomorrow.
Phooey.

I learned a lot and feel empowered! Thank you for the opportunity. Read more at:

My favorite Discoveries were many ie; Grabbing a Blog, Flickr, PBwiki, YouTube, and the Podcasts. This course has allowed me access to the right resource so that someone in their fifties that didn't grow up with this technology could catch up some-I can still learn!!-it's a great feeling, I was missing so much. My take away will be that learniing is still possible with the correct resource materials such as Nebraska Learns 2.0. I would like to see the major portions of this course kept as permanent resource classes for people like me that have never had the chance to be exposed to this material from the technical/building side. I would like to see the uses of different tools used in each section expanded so that a person would have a more comfortable feel for it rather than just an intro. This course has been the best ever!! Put my name at the top of the list for signing up for the next chapter of Nebraska Learns 2.0!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

Finally made it to the end! Here's my blog post.
