THING 23

What a wonderful experience for me!  I learned so much, and I grew both personally and professionally.  There are so many devices and apps out there - I had no idea. It was most interesting for me to compare notes with co-workers on which devices and apps they were using.

My favorite Things were 12 - Books, Books & More Books,  13 - Presentations, and. 16 - Audio.  My favorite app was "Haiku Deck."  By far, I did my best work with this app.  But, I was most surprised by my reading on "Audioboo."  I discovered I have a really nice reading voice.  I also loved "Instgram."  It was such fun to play with my pictures.

When I started with 23Things,  I needed a lot of help, but I kept going, and with each new challenge, I gained new skills and got better and better.  I learned so much by sharing my experiences, and maybe they learned a thing or two from me.

I would suggest a Thing devoted to Safety & Security.  This seems to be a topic becoming  more important as devices are becoming more widely used.  A Thing about apps devoted to this subject is something to consider.

Finally:  With each Thing, I learned something new.
               With each new Thing, I gained experience.
               With experience, I gained confidence.
               With confidence, I became better at accomplishing my goals.

Thank you, thank you.

THING 22

For this "thing," I used "Quixey."  I thought it was just wonderful!  I searched numerous apps.  Very easy to use.  Thank you for the recommdation.  I will indeed share this web site with patrons.

THING 21

I found a wonderful app that I would highly recommend - "WebMD ."  The mobile app is easily downloaded directly from the Homepage of their web site.  When you sign-in, you are asked for a PIN, which I thought was a good idea for security and privacy.  It is an easy site to navigate, with both a search window and alphabetical listings in a variety of categories.  It also offers a map to local health facilities.  You can also post questions and comments.  I will use this app personally and recommend it to patrons.

THING 20

For this "thing," I found a game called "What's The Saying" in the Apple App Store.  It is a game based on rebus puzzles.  I'm not much of a gamer, but  I found this absolutely addicting!  Even though there were pop-up adds every few puzzles, I just had to keep going.  I made it to level 8 before I just had to quit.  I now have a better appreciation for the value of computer games.

THING 19

My hobby is my Fairy garden.  "MyGarden.com" was a perfect fit for me.  I posted a comment, and received an answer shortly - that was a first for me!  I will continue to visit this site.  I will recommend this app to patrons who want an interactive site to share their enthusiasm for gardening.

THING 18

For this "thing," I looked at "Duolingo,"  "Quizlet," and "Today's Document."  I decided to install "Today's Document National Archives."  I would highly recommend this site to anyone interested in history or genealogy.  It is very user-friendly, with so many links.  I especially liked the calendar where I could choose a date, and see what happened on that day with articles on that event.  I also liked the link to archives in cities across the country - perfect for a mobile app!
