This experience of NB23Things is coming to a close. I have learned a great deal over the past few months and am glad to have participated as actively as I have. I may continue to use some elements more than others moving forward (scoop.it!) but I am glad that I have this new knowledge.
Stumbleupon was a very interesting site. I found that it functions quite similar to those of scoop.it. I have similar feelings towards the two applications. I may find myself going from one to the other for hours without realizing what I am doing!
Keep on, keeping on! and carry on!

What do I see when looking in a mirror?
My reflection!
Of all the Things, I really liked joining scoop.it. The possibilities were endless within that site. More specifically, I liked Thing19, when we were asked to share an article on Twitter. I found that combining what we were learning with our previous weeks was a very good way to hammer home that knowledge.
For my position, I found Thing 10, Follow a reader with similar reading interests in Vision, to be quite useful. I had used certain aspects of Vision in the past, however, never the follow option. I could see myself suggesting that patrons take advantage of this function.
I was surprised to discover how simple it can be to register and use the sites that we were shown. Linking Twitter to Pinterest and scoop.it made everything very easy.
I will surely use scoop.it to stay up to date on topics of interest to me, both professionally and personally.
I feel very happy to have completed the 23NB program. Some weeks were more familiar to me than other weeks, and the challenge was apreciated. I gained more by learning some neat new things!
When we first started this program with blogging, I wasn't sure I would be able to go very far. I have never blogged or written a journal or diary. I wasn't convinced that I would be able to think of things to write about every week. This experience has shown that I am able to do something like this. I am curious to see how often I will be writing in the future!

A funny thing app-ened while completing this week
I found this week to be the most difficult as I do not have a mobile device. No tablet or smart/super phone for this clerk.
I do have an ereader and have previously both downloaded and returned ebooks with it. I found the process to be quite fun!

Extra! Extra! Read all about... scoop.it!
Scoop.it is a great resource for everyone! Of all the 23things to date, I am most excited about this site.
Linking the account through Twitter made the process quite easy and straightforward. I was easily able to tweet interesting articles and share them with my followers.
With youtube, I often find myself falling into a wormhole, linking from video to video without realizing the time. I could see myself doing the same with scoop.it.
Excellent resource this week!

Book Trailers
I have long been a fan of movies and movie trailers. It is only recently that I learned that there were trailers for books.
The first one that I remember seeing was for One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B. J. Novak.

Similarily to book trailers, podcasts are something that I have used un the past, but for entertainment as opposed to education. The suggested sites offered up this week had a variety of great information available.
I have recently been reading a lot of YA fiction. I found that doing so is a great way to travel back and feel a little younger. I found a some webinars offering information on upcoming titles in YA fiction that I will be keeping an eye out for!

Imaginative Images?
As a new cat owner, I thought it would be interesting to look up photos of cats reading.
Here is a good one:
Cat Reading
In order to try a Wordle, I decided to use the nb23 blog and came up with this.
I started this week a while ago but was not as comfortable as to the giving credit properly. I decided to give it a go this week and see what happens.

Pinterest for the Win-terest
This week, we have jumped into the world of Pinterest. As with previous weeks, the setup and registration was not very complicated. The site offered a great tutorial to get me on the way.
I have seen Pinterest updates on my facebook newsfeed from time to time over the years, but have never been very active with it. The possibilities that I have seen thus far seem to be endless!
