COMING SOON: 28 Things!

Beginning Monday, January 18, 2010, Tulsa City-County Library will embark on their 2nd annual offering of 23 28 Things as a continuing education class for TCCL staff. 28 Things is a web-based, self-paced program, compiled and adapted by the New Technology Committee, that encourages you to dig into such technologies such as blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, Facebook, Twitter, and social bookmarking, to play with them, and to reflect on how they might be useful in your day-to-day working life. Although this course may be taken at any time during the current continuing education cycle, the portion of the course in which participants complete sections to become eligible for prizes only runs from January 18-April 30, 2010. Here is a list of the goodies available in this year's drawings:

*2 free movie passes to Circle Cinema
*1 men's shirt from Staff Association
*1 women's shirt from Staff Association
*2 x 1 GB flash drives
*1 x 2 GB flash drive
*1 x 4 GB flash drive
*2 $25 gift cards to Amazon
*Grand prize: a 1st generation Kindle(a $250 value!)

If you participated in 23 Things last year, you are welcome to do the entire course again or simply choose one or more of the sections to complete. Either way, you can begin to earn Technology credit towards your ConEd requirements for this cycle. If you did participate in 23 Things last year & did win a prize, we ask that you please exclude yourself from the prize drawings this year in order to give others a chance.

Stay tuned to the Weekly Reader for instructions as to how to enroll and we look forward to seeing lots of you online soon!
