Origins of 23 Things
43 Things website
“Join over 3 Million people
who list their goals, share
their progress and cheer
                              Abram‟s (2006) “43 Things I
each other on”
                              might want to do this year”
http://www.43things.com/
                              e.g. “Register at
                              Blogger and start a
                              blog.”
                                                            “brainstorm-in-the-shower
                                                            idea” (Blowers, 2008)
                                            Helene Blowers at the Public Library of
                                            Charlotte & Mecklenburg County

“Over the next 11 weeks we will be looking at a
range of Web 2.0 technologies, testing them
out and seeing how they have been used in
libraries and exploring how we could use them
here at City. Each week we'll also have a Cool
Extra Thing, which you can look at if you're
already familiar with that weeks Things, if
you're feeling adventurous or if you want to
look at concepts in more depth”

                                                Sheila Webber, 2011
“The four most frequent reasons given by the group
  for not completing the Learning 2.0 program were:
  1.  lack of time;
  2.  other priorities;
  3.  [lack of] relevance; and
  4.  being a part-time staff
      member”
  (Gross and Leslie, 2010: 661)


                                  Edith Cowan University, Australia
                                  http://eculibrarylearning.blogspot.com/
                                                            Sheila Webber, 2011
Community & networking important

 “Library and careers staff had a sense of community
  and shared learning because they were already
  cohesive units and had opportunities to discuss the
  programme at coffee or during their working day. This
  was not the case with staff across many different
  departments”
  [Irish programme aimed at faculty and other non-
  library staff]
  (McCaffrey et al, 2010: 27)


                                                     Sheila Webber, 2011
Follow-ons in individual workplaces?
• Adding new “Things” to the original exercise
• Incorporating learning new skills into appraisals
  (Titangos and Mason, 2008)
• “Lite” version with 5 or 6 Things (Leech, 2010)
• Short face-to-face training sessions on specific Web
  2.0 tools
“23 Things provided us with the opportunity to reach a critical mass of
staff and raise awareness of Web 2.0 technologies. However, we have
found that to maintain current awareness of new technologies, we need to
incorporate a wider choice of options when giving staff opportunities for
workplace learning.”
(Gross and Leslie, 2010: 665)
                                                                  Sheila Webber, 2011
Outcomes
Key outcomes:
• more comfort with Web 2.0;
• more use of Web 2.0 tools in workplace;
• more innovation;
• more networking.
(Though evaluation not always rigorous)

 “The Learning 2.0 program has had a great impact on
   staff, who now know they are capable of learning
   new technologies, and that it is OK to learn through
   exploring and playing with web applications, rather
   than having to wait for more formal structured
   training to be scheduled.”
  (Lewis, 2008)
                                                Sheila Webber, 2011
“With the incentive of the sure prize of an MP3 player and the
    possible grand prize of a laptop, and more meaningfully,
 inspired by the newly-acquired knowledge of Library 2.0, 43 of
 98 learners managed to overcome all obstacles and complete
the program. On February 14, 2008, over 40 people gathered in
    the Central Branch‟s meeting room to attend „23 Things
   Valentines Day Celebration‟.” [Santa Cruz Public Libraries]
               (Titangos and Mason, 2009: 48-49)

 “The project is like a forceful storm,
    sweeping away mental dust and
      cobwebs, along the route.”
               (Titangos and Mason, 2009: 54)
                                                          Sheila Webber, 2011
23 Things in: Inf6350:
Information Resources and Information
               Literacy




                                   Sheila Webber, 2011
Basics about the class
• Core class for Masters students (worth quarter of all
  credits in semester 1)
• 115 students: 29 British, 63 Chinese, rest from 10
  other countries
• MA Librarianship (32) and most of rest MSc
  Information Management: majority of class have not
  worked, and do not intend to work, in libraries


                                                 Sheila Webber, 2011
Module aims
To enable students to:
• understand from both theoretical and practical
  perspectives the notions of information needs,
  information literacy and information behaviour;
• understand the nature and function of different types
  and forms of information resources;
• develop their own information literacy and
  understanding of its application to their future lives; and
• develop specialised skills in searching for, evaluating
  and packaging information in response to a user query
  using a variety of information resources.
Learning environment
• Base room: long lab, with bays of 8 computers either side
• Use of Blackboard for powerpoints, handouts, sign-
  up/information on assignments etc.
• Variety of sessions, for example
   – “Information literacy in our future careers” - preparation and
     exhibition in a large hall
   – Smaller-group seminars, on abstracting & discussing a research
     article
   – Lecture + workshop on the information interview
   – Focus on types of searching (search engines, Dialog, journals
     etc.)
Videos (trailers and exhibition vid)

                                     Sheila Webber, 2011
(My) aims for the 23 Things
• Students learn more about blogging and some other tools
• Provide a small-team focus in this large class (socialisation
  aspect)
• Place to share resources (e.g. of items about information
  literacy) and perceptions (e.g. of the “IL in our careers”
  exhibition)
• Opportunity to practice writing, and presenting information

• As I was aware of the growing pressures of assignments,
  there was deliberately less focus/pressure on the blogs in the
  later weeks of the semester
                                                           Sheila Webber, 2011
Organisation
• Put students in teams of 4, each paired with another
  team
• Used Blogger as Sheffield uses Goggle for uni email
• Cultural mix in each pair of teams
• Some exercises required teams to interact
• Reasons for not making them individual blogs:
   – Socialisation
   – Learning from each other
   – Logistics: easier to keep track of 30 team blogs than 115
     blogs!
                                                       Sheila Webber, 2011
Followed standard practice in -
•   Publicising Things & Timetable
•   12 week schedule
•   Main blog, with team blogs linked into home page
•   Making first activity setting up the blogs & posting
•   (Mostly) Identifying topic and setting tasks - but
    – Most tasks at least started in class
    – Later on, tasks framed as more optional, or a task which
      is not blogged (e.g. critiquing an article in the seminar)

                                                          Sheila Webber, 2011

   12. Uses of social media                  23. Evaluating 23 Things
   13 Favourite Things 1

“Present” etc refers to the SCONUL 7 Pillars of Information Literacy
                                                                             Sheila Webber, 2011
Difficult to decide on Things!
• Not trying to cover all the learning outcomes with
  the Things
• Wanted the Things to support the outcomes,
  intertwined with the other approaches to learning,
  teaching and assessment




                                                 Sheila Webber, 2011
Example: Thing 5: IL Global Picture
  資訊素養
“1. Each of you individually should find an item about information
literacy that is in your own language. It can be a website, a tutorial,
an article or a report, but it must use the phrase that means
"information literacy" in your native language.
2. Each of you should post a link to that item on your team blog. If
more than one person in one team posts the same item - the first
person to post it keeps it - the next person has to find something
different and post that instead.
3. Next week, I will ask you to explain to someone who is not a
native speaker of your language what the item is about. [They had
to explain to their partner teams]
4. Please then add a sentence or two in English to your blog post
explaining what the item is, if you have not already done so.
In this way we will create a collective international bibliography of
material about Information Literacy through your blogs.”
                                                               Sheila Webber, 2011
Example: Thing 6: Google secrets
“Immediately after the Alastair's session, make an
individual post on your team blog, listing one new
thing you learnt about Google (or about some
other search engine) … if you were already a
search engine wizard when you came to Sheffield,
say what your best Google search tip is.”




                                              Sheila Webber, 2011
My reflections
• Am just getting formal feedback now, so mainly my
  views + informal feedback/ observation
• Team aspect was helpful:
   – Teams sat in the same place in the lab each week
   – Got to know their team members
   – We could more easily monitor who was missing & who was
     not contributing: blogs good way of starting discussion on this
   – Some students not comfortable with the web, helped by
     teams (sometimes too shielded by them too?)
   – also logistically useful when students divided up & going to
     different rooms! (they knew their Team)
                                                            Sheila Webber, 2011
23 Things aspect
• Visible learning about blogs (i.e. they improved) & some
  more confidence in using features like embedding pictures
  and videos
• Blogs were more creative focus (than Blackboard) for
  sharing links, pictures, videos, reflections
   – Good way for everyone to share in class exercises like the “IL in
     my language” one
• Useful (for educators) being able to highlight the “tasks for
  you” in the blog
• Creative and thoughtful posts
• Attendance has been better this year (though no research
  as to cause/effect!)
                                                            Sheila Webber, 2011
Negatives/ Things to change
• Too many major Things, especially in mid-point! Could
  have split some Things into smaller chunks
• Despite efforts, some teams disengaged in last weeks
• Did not do enough to encourage interaction between blogs
  (student suggested today that we have subsets of blogs)
• Needed more of a team doing the online part (mostly me,
  although more help from colleagues in class)
• Some Things worked, others so-so
• Some students needed some even more basic help at start
• Could have more of a Web 2.0 slant (though some of the
  non-Web 2.0 Things worked well)
                                                 Sheila Webber, 2011
Will I do it again next year??
I think I will

Reflecting on 23 Things: using 23 Things in an Information literacy class

  • 1. Reflecting on 23 Things: using 23 Things in an Information literacy class Sheila Yoshikawa / Sheila Webber University of Sheffield, Information School December 2011
  • 2. Origins of 23 Things 43 Things website “Join over 3 Million people who list their goals, share their progress and cheer Abram‟s (2006) “43 Things I each other on” might want to do this year” http://www.43things.com/ e.g. “Register at Blogger and start a blog.” “brainstorm-in-the-shower idea” (Blowers, 2008) Helene Blowers at the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County http://plcmcl2-about.blogspot.com/ Hundreds of 23 Things initiatives around the world Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 3. Common characteristics • Team of facilitators; often based in one institution • Main blog or wiki + individual participant blogs • 23 Things timetable announced in advance • Programme usually lasts 11-13 weeks (plus extensions!) • Focus on discovering Web 2.0 tools • Includes reflection & interaction • Each starter posting has information on the “Thing” + instructions for one or more tasks • May be face to face support sessions • Celebration at the end including voting for favourite bloggers, posts etc.; parties • Certificate for those completing all 23 Things in given period Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 4. The originator‟s tips 1. “Encourage networking and the learning will follow 2. “Allow participants to blog anonymously 3. “Use 1.0 methods to communicate 4. “Encourage group discovery 5. “Design the program for late bloomers 6. “Focus on discovery, not skill building 7. “Reward staff for learning 8. “Online means hands-on, not hands-off 9. “Enable transparency and practice radical trust 10. “Continually encourage staff to play” Blowers, 2008. Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 5. Recent examples • 23 Things @ Sims Library, USA (April-August 2011): http://simslibrary.blogspot.com/ • 23 Things City University, UK (June-September 2011): http://23thingscity.blogspot.com/ • University of Saskatchewan‟s (Canada) University Library 23 Things (January-May 2011): http://uofslibrary23things.blogspot.com/ • 23 Things for Professional Development (CPD23) (UK) (June - October 2011): http://cpd23.blogspot.com/ • List of 23-things-type blogs on Delicious: http://www.delicious.com/hblowers/learning2.0libraries Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 6. “Over the next 11 weeks we will be looking at a range of Web 2.0 technologies, testing them out and seeing how they have been used in libraries and exploring how we could use them here at City. Each week we'll also have a Cool Extra Thing, which you can look at if you're already familiar with that weeks Things, if you're feeling adventurous or if you want to look at concepts in more depth” http://23thingscity.blogspot.com/ Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 7. 23 Things Warwick (UK university) • Publishing on the Web (Things 1-3) Create a blog; Write a post; Register your blog with the programme) • Keeping up to date (Things 4-6) Create iGoogle start page; Learn about RSS; Subscribe to an RSS feed • Time Management (Things 7-9) Using Doodle; Firefox • Networking (Things 10-12) Using Twitter & Facebook • Reflection (Things 13 & 23) • Getting organised (Things 14-16) Diego; Zotero; EndNote • Multimedia sharing (Things 17-19) Flickr; Creative Commons; Youtube. • Office 2.0 (Things 20-22) Wiki; Google Docs; Slideshare. http://23thingswarwick.blogspot.com/
  • 8. Completions • For 23 Things based at one institution, stated completion rates vary between 24% (Evans and Barrett, 2009) and 80% (Whitehead, 2009) • For CPD23 “780+ registered; 78 completed the evaluation survey; 54 registered for completer‟s certificate” (Birkwood 2011) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 9. “The four most frequent reasons given by the group for not completing the Learning 2.0 program were: 1. lack of time; 2. other priorities; 3. [lack of] relevance; and 4. being a part-time staff member” (Gross and Leslie, 2010: 661) Edith Cowan University, Australia http://eculibrarylearning.blogspot.com/ Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 10. Community & networking important “Library and careers staff had a sense of community and shared learning because they were already cohesive units and had opportunities to discuss the programme at coffee or during their working day. This was not the case with staff across many different departments” [Irish programme aimed at faculty and other non- library staff] (McCaffrey et al, 2010: 27) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 11. Follow-ons in individual workplaces? • Adding new “Things” to the original exercise • Incorporating learning new skills into appraisals (Titangos and Mason, 2008) • “Lite” version with 5 or 6 Things (Leech, 2010) • Short face-to-face training sessions on specific Web 2.0 tools “23 Things provided us with the opportunity to reach a critical mass of staff and raise awareness of Web 2.0 technologies. However, we have found that to maintain current awareness of new technologies, we need to incorporate a wider choice of options when giving staff opportunities for workplace learning.” (Gross and Leslie, 2010: 665) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 12. Outcomes Key outcomes: • more comfort with Web 2.0; • more use of Web 2.0 tools in workplace; • more innovation; • more networking. (Though evaluation not always rigorous) “The Learning 2.0 program has had a great impact on staff, who now know they are capable of learning new technologies, and that it is OK to learn through exploring and playing with web applications, rather than having to wait for more formal structured training to be scheduled.” (Lewis, 2008) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 13. “With the incentive of the sure prize of an MP3 player and the possible grand prize of a laptop, and more meaningfully, inspired by the newly-acquired knowledge of Library 2.0, 43 of 98 learners managed to overcome all obstacles and complete the program. On February 14, 2008, over 40 people gathered in the Central Branch‟s meeting room to attend „23 Things Valentines Day Celebration‟.” [Santa Cruz Public Libraries] (Titangos and Mason, 2009: 48-49) “The project is like a forceful storm, sweeping away mental dust and cobwebs, along the route.” (Titangos and Mason, 2009: 54) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 14. 23 Things in: Inf6350: Information Resources and Information Literacy Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 15. Basics about the class • Core class for Masters students (worth quarter of all credits in semester 1) • 115 students: 29 British, 63 Chinese, rest from 10 other countries • MA Librarianship (32) and most of rest MSc Information Management: majority of class have not worked, and do not intend to work, in libraries Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 16. Module aims To enable students to: • understand from both theoretical and practical perspectives the notions of information needs, information literacy and information behaviour; • understand the nature and function of different types and forms of information resources; • develop their own information literacy and understanding of its application to their future lives; and • develop specialised skills in searching for, evaluating and packaging information in response to a user query using a variety of information resources.
  • 17. Learning environment • Base room: long lab, with bays of 8 computers either side • Use of Blackboard for powerpoints, handouts, sign- up/information on assignments etc. • Variety of sessions, for example – “Information literacy in our future careers” - preparation and exhibition in a large hall – Smaller-group seminars, on abstracting & discussing a research article – Lecture + workshop on the information interview – Focus on types of searching (search engines, Dialog, journals etc.)
  • 18. Videos (trailers and exhibition vid) Search Inf6350 on youtube.com Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 19. (My) aims for the 23 Things • Students learn more about blogging and some other tools • Provide a small-team focus in this large class (socialisation aspect) • Place to share resources (e.g. of items about information literacy) and perceptions (e.g. of the “IL in our careers” exhibition) • Opportunity to practice writing, and presenting information • As I was aware of the growing pressures of assignments, there was deliberately less focus/pressure on the blogs in the later weeks of the semester Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 20. Organisation • Put students in teams of 4, each paired with another team • Used Blogger as Sheffield uses Goggle for uni email • Cultural mix in each pair of teams • Some exercises required teams to interact • Reasons for not making them individual blogs: – Socialisation – Learning from each other – Logistics: easier to keep track of 30 team blogs than 115 blogs! Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 21. Followed standard practice in - • Publicising Things & Timetable • 12 week schedule • Main blog, with team blogs linked into home page • Making first activity setting up the blogs & posting • (Mostly) Identifying topic and setting tasks - but – Most tasks at least started in class – Later on, tasks framed as more optional, or a task which is not blogged (e.g. critiquing an article in the seminar) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 22. The Things 1. Blogs (Present) 14. Auditing information behaviour (IB) 2. Information Literacy: Seven Pillars 15. Favourite IB models 3. Abstracting (Present) 16. Information interviewing (Identify & 4. The new information universe (Scope) Scope) 5. Information Literacy: global picture 17. Favourite Things 2 6. Google secrets (Plan and Gather) 18. Teaching information literacy 7. Monitoring (Gather) 19. Extracting information from databases 8. Communicating using posters (Plan & Gather) (Present) 20. Critiquing an article 9. Legal & ethical use (Manage) 21 Effective use of Dialog (Plan & 10. Documenting events Gather) 11. Wise use of Wikipedia (Evaluate and 22. Evidence Based Information use Manage) (Evaluate & Manage) 12. Uses of social media 23. Evaluating 23 Things 13 Favourite Things 1 “Present” etc refers to the SCONUL 7 Pillars of Information Literacy Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 23. Difficult to decide on Things! • Not trying to cover all the learning outcomes with the Things • Wanted the Things to support the outcomes, intertwined with the other approaches to learning, teaching and assessment Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 24. Example: Thing 5: IL Global Picture 資訊素養 “1. Each of you individually should find an item about information literacy that is in your own language. It can be a website, a tutorial, an article or a report, but it must use the phrase that means "information literacy" in your native language. 2. Each of you should post a link to that item on your team blog. If more than one person in one team posts the same item - the first person to post it keeps it - the next person has to find something different and post that instead. 3. Next week, I will ask you to explain to someone who is not a native speaker of your language what the item is about. [They had to explain to their partner teams] 4. Please then add a sentence or two in English to your blog post explaining what the item is, if you have not already done so. In this way we will create a collective international bibliography of material about Information Literacy through your blogs.” Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 25. Example: Thing 6: Google secrets “Immediately after the Alastair's session, make an individual post on your team blog, listing one new thing you learnt about Google (or about some other search engine) … if you were already a search engine wizard when you came to Sheffield, say what your best Google search tip is.” Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 26. My reflections • Am just getting formal feedback now, so mainly my views + informal feedback/ observation • Team aspect was helpful: – Teams sat in the same place in the lab each week – Got to know their team members – We could more easily monitor who was missing & who was not contributing: blogs good way of starting discussion on this – Some students not comfortable with the web, helped by teams (sometimes too shielded by them too?) – also logistically useful when students divided up & going to different rooms! (they knew their Team) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 27. 23 Things aspect • Visible learning about blogs (i.e. they improved) & some more confidence in using features like embedding pictures and videos • Blogs were more creative focus (than Blackboard) for sharing links, pictures, videos, reflections – Good way for everyone to share in class exercises like the “IL in my language” one • Useful (for educators) being able to highlight the “tasks for you” in the blog • Creative and thoughtful posts • Attendance has been better this year (though no research as to cause/effect!) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 28. Negatives/ Things to change • Too many major Things, especially in mid-point! Could have split some Things into smaller chunks • Despite efforts, some teams disengaged in last weeks • Did not do enough to encourage interaction between blogs (student suggested today that we have subsets of blogs) • Needed more of a team doing the online part (mostly me, although more help from colleagues in class) • Some Things worked, others so-so • Some students needed some even more basic help at start • Could have more of a Web 2.0 slant (though some of the non-Web 2.0 Things worked well) Sheila Webber, 2011
  • 29. Will I do it again next year?? I think I will Sheila Webber, 2011
