I have finally finished this torture.
Most of the students wouldn't ask for help - and why should they. We aren't supposed to be promoting anything other than doing their related work on the PC.s
It may be good for people who have nothing better to do with their time.
It may be useful for those people who want to find things that can't be found by asking Google.
It may be useful if you want to chat - if the email, phone and face to face isn't enough.
As a vision impaired person I found most of the screens to challenging - way to busy, to much information and very frustrating to work around.
The best thing is Wikipedia - and I didn't need 23 Things to know how to access it.
Glad it's over - when can I delete it?

Thing 22
Well, I have been everywhere, on two computers. I understand about chat, but do you think I can get past the VU access denied screen - NO.
Thing 21
I have found a podcast that is called Blind Reality - it talks about audio services that are available to bliind people, including newpaper reading services. They include contact details.
Their services are good but Australia's Radio for the Print Handicapped has a very good service.

Thing 20
This is about a library CAT - why isn't there anything about a library dog, snake or rat?
YouTube is okay, but just another time waster.

Thing 18
It's wonderful that there are so many new and inventive ways to do things. After working with many students - all they really want is the quickest and simplest way to get what they want.
Thing 17
I have just been into Delicious and came across a blog by an old friend. But nothings personal any more.

Thing 15
This was an interesting book to look at - Health and Wellness By Gordon Edlin, Eric Golanty. It was also good to use the index and click to the page you want.
I also chose a number of mysteries - I wish I had time to read them.

Thing 14
I copied and pasted part of an excel file into Google Docs - the excel spreadsheet isn't as flexible as the original.
