Lesson learned

Social reading week continues with a refresher course on aspects of Bibliocommons and the creation of a Goodreads account. Got caught up in Goodreads for an hour, adding books I've read, am reading and want to read and connecting with a "friend" and her books! Although I've browsed this site before I think I will actually visit it regularly and use it to it's full potential.  Highly recommend. Revisited Twitter to try and understand it a little better and discovered that beginners should be content to retweet other's interesting messages before adding their own. Good lesson.  Also reflects my feelings about " 23 things" generally, that I can't absorb everything at once, but will use the new training info a bit at a time and hope that "practice makes perfect."

  1. It's a lot to expect for people to become pros with a new tool right away. We just hope to introduce you to these new tools and hopefully there is something you might want to explore further. As a beginner on Twitter you may be more comfortable starting with tailoring your newsfeed. You can start tweeting later!

    1. Ha! Definitely a beginner on Twitter and I'm grateful to be given so much support. It really is a good way to be introduced to these technologies and I'm fairly certain that I'll continue to use several of them in the future.
