23 Things: Feedback

This is week #5 for me with the SLA version of 23 Things. So far, the tools discussed have been tools that I understand and use frequently. Since I don't have to do every step in the lesson, I generally skim through to see if there is anything new that I need to know. Sometimes the lesson sparks me to go off and try something else.

23 Things is based on spending 15 minutes per day learning something new. The SLA version has weeks were you could spend much more time. One change I would like to see is to have a lesson each week that is truly one hour, then provide additional lessons for the week that are optional (and that require more time). If it were possible to really divide the lessons into 15 minute increments, I think that some participants would find that useful. For example, you might divide the week into these 15-minute intervals or lessons:

Day 1: Overview with text, podcast or video
Day 2: Explore how others are using
Day 3: Set up an account to use the tool yourself
Day 4: Learn how to use the account
Day 5: Practice or expand your usage

mmm...I like that format! I think I'm going to have to use it in an upcoming workshop!
