Welcome Post


23 Things @ Sims Library is all about learning and playing with Web 2.0 tools and technologies. Here we’ll list several ‘things’ and you’ll learn what they are and how they work. Playing is a great way to learn new technology things.


What Do I Have To Do?

On this blog we will list several ‘things’ and you will guide yourself through the learning process. You can take a little as fifteen minutes a day to try out each ‘thing’. Every few days another ‘thing’ will be posted with an activity for you to do. Feel free to skip around in the order, once posted, but be sure to do the first ‘thing’ first!

Most of the things posted here will include some tips, but many you will be able to do without help. But we encourage you to ask for help – ask us, ask your friends, family, co-workers, or better yet, make a friend from the other participants and buddy up to do the ‘things’! It’s all about learning through playing.


How Do I Sign Up?

Anyone can participate in the 23 Things @ Sims program, but to qualify for the prizes you must register and complete all ‘things’ by August 21, 2010. You will register as part of Thing 1, which will be posted by May 15, 2010.


To register, send your name and the URL of the blog you create in Thing 1 to the 23 Things @ Sims Leadership Team. Our email address is SimsRefDesk@gmail.com. You will not get an email confirmation, but do check the blog for the participants list. Please allow one week for your blog URL to be posted to the list. Your name will not be posted; only the blog URL. If your blog does not appear in the list after one week, please email again.


Will I Get A Prize?

Everyone who registers and completes the 23 Things program by August 21, 2010 will be entered into drawing to win an MP3 Player*! And everyone who finishes by August 31, 2010 will receive a certificate of completion.
