Staff of the University Library are participating in a “23 things” program this month, learning about social media and online teaching by completing a series of self-paced modules.
This week’s topic is blogging, and this post is my demonstration that I know how to blog ;-)
It’s also the debut appearance of my new avatar:
The “23 things” program is based on a concept developed Helene Blowers in the US. The program became the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County’s “Learning 2.0″ project and inspired the activity-based concept of ‘23 things’ which has been successfully implemented in libraries worldwide.
The Melbourne University Library program will run over a 6 week period in which participants will use free web and LMS-based applications in order to complete the 23 activities. Weeks 1-3 will run from 24 November until the Christmas closedown, and then weeks 4-6 will run from late January for completion by early February 2009.

Thanks for the plug!
I’ve taken the liberty of adding this blog to the blogroll on the unimelb23things blog, alonside Jen McM and Shirley Sullivans.
Do you know of any other melb uni blogs that I should add?
Cheers
