Welcome. This site was created to support the Queens Library Learning 2.0 Program, a discovery learning program designed to encourage staff to explore new technologies and reward them for doing 23 1/2 Things.

#4 Register your blog

If you've made it this far, you already have three items or "things" completed of the 23 1/2 that are required to earn the gift card (not to mention qualify for the laptop drawing).

But how do you qualify? Good question! By registering your blog and recording your progress on each of the 23 1/2 Things. For the sake of simplifying this process for Queens Library staff involved, you will need to send an e-mail to ql.things@gmail.com with your name, employee number, and a link to your blog.

Each blog post should reflect your thoughts and experiences on each thing. Aim to write 100-150 words for each post.

It is a great way to learn new technology. I am sure I will be using this opportunity to my advancement.
Thank you

Please make the links clickable.

Information Goddess,

Most things are clickable. Remember, each "thing" will only be activated when we get to that week.

If something isn't hyperlinked ... you can always highlight and copy and paste.

How often do you update the participant list? I just register my blog by sending e-mail to ql.things and I am waiting to see my name show up in the list now.

The list is updated at least once a day, usually whenever we can find a spare moment. If it's a weekday and you haven't seen your link posted, simply resend the e-mail.

Thanks!

Hi there --

Is it possible for "soon to start" QL librarians to register? My official first day is in mid-December, but I'm trying to get a leg up by following along with the Learning 2.0 crew.

Thanks!

Stacey,

If you want to do the Things now, you can register officially once you start QL in mid-December. You just have to finish by December 24.

That said, this program will probably repeat or experience another cycle.

Is there a list somplace where we can see how many items we've done? I'm still a little confused.

We need a checklist.

thanks.

Susan,

There is a checklist of sorts here:

It helps if you put the Thing # in your post. Things 3, and 5-23.5 require a blog post. You'll know you're done when you have a minimum of 20 posts.

I'm probably the last one starting out...but we all learn on our own time, right?
