I just finished reading/viewing the assignments/links for Thing 2. As I did this, I couldn’t help but wonder how far we will be able to incorporate L2 into the school library media center setting. As it is, students are not allowed internet access unless they have written permission, and they must check the computers in and out like a book. The filters on the net are tight, yet students attempt to find ways around them. One of the authors mentions the trust factor; trust is a problem among students.

I’m participating in 23 Things because I want to know more about it…how it’s set up and managed….and how it's changing the information highway. I use the net daily in work and at home for information and socializing with friends via email and IM’s. I’ve watched my children for years as they played on myspace, facebook, You Tube, etc. I never interacted with those, but I watched and read them.

I’m looking forward to experiencing L2 tools firsthand.
