SLA's 23 Things: Week 2 Blogging
Have you been working your way through SLA's 23 Things or are you still putting it off? Remember, December 15th is the deadline for completion. Just jump in and do it. I'll be going through the modules between now and December 15th here on the Government Info Pro.
As I said in my last 23 Things post:
As a member of the SLA 23 Things Committee, I can assure you that SLA's 23 Things modules will provide you with a wonderful learning experience and take the stress out of immersing yourself in Web 2.0. You will get the gain without the pain of figuring it all out from scratch. Best of all, you will be learning together with a whole community of SLA members.
Here's a few thoughts on Week 2 of SLA's 23 Things: Blogging...
Week 2 is not just a way to learn about blogs but a way to move step-by-step through the process of creating a blog of your own and doing some actual blogging. I am a big believer in the value of the blog as a resource for gathering information and a tool for sharing it. Putting together your own blog will be a valuable opportunity to enhance your 23 Things learning experience and share your insights with others.
Working through Week 2, you'll:
- Develop a deeper understanding of what a blog is and what its component parts generally are,
- Identify and look at some blogs for inspiration,
- Learn how to set up your blog, including choosing a blog tool,
- What to consider as you begin blogging, including things like privacy issues,
- Considering the different reasons for blogging,
- Think about what you can accomplish with a blog.
Week 2 is where the rubber really meets the road. Grab your car keys and step on the gas. You're going to learn a lot from Week 2 of SLA's 23 Things.
