The End

23 Things is done! Team23 is all...


But it was an independent, self paced training so really


My favourite part was learning things from other people's blogs. I learned about books, coworkers and tech tricks.

Librarying Things summed up very nicely some of the more general "Things" I took away from this training:

what we need to be learning from all of these “things” is a general comfort and aptitude for navigating the digital world and using internet-based tools (not necessarily how to do these specific things). It seems to me that there is a fundamental shift from the way tasks were done in the workplace of the past to the way tasks are done in the more fluid and changeable digital world. Many of my coworkers want step-by-step instructions; they want to be told, “click here” “click there”, and they expect it to be the same every time. 

Navigating your way through prompts for signing up for an account or through an ever changing site interface is a skill. Seeking out additional information (in the online world that could be the "Help" section, Googling a video tutorial, finding an article or asking for help) is the way to continuous learning and important in personal and professional development. "Play" is still an important part of learning and sometimes you just have to try something to find out how it may be useful or how you cotton on to it (and yes, it is hard to have the time to do that. Totally). Don't worry about playing on the internet. You aren't going to break it.
