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.
