If you've made it this far, you already have three items or "things" completed of the twenty three that are required to earn the USB flash drive (not to mention qualify for the video/MP3 player drawing).

But how do you qualify? Good question! By registering your blog and recording your progress on each of the 23 things. For the sake of simplifying this process for staff involved, you will use the Learning 2.0 Tracking Log that has been created on the Library's staff intranet.

To use this log, simply follow your "cheat sheet" and access the tracking Log through the link. Mark off the "things" that you've completed.


Starting with Thing #5, you also need to include the URL for the permanent link to each of your blog posts that capture your thoughts, comments or findings about your discovery process. And depending upon the Blogger template that you selected, the permanent link for each individual posts can be found either through the post's title or through a link in the post's footer area the contains the date.


Example:


Here is where you would find the perma link for this sample blog post:




Click on this link to see actual post.
Here's how you would record it in the Learning 2.0 Log:




Click on image to see it at actual size..

If you click on the permanent link for an individual post, you will be taken to its page. This is the link that you want to use when recording your progress in the Learning 2.0 log. To make recording easy, I would suggest that you make a habit of recording your progress weekly.


So, here's to Thing #4 - why not hop on over to the Learning 2.0 Tracking Log now and record your first 4 items on this discovery quest. It's really that easy and just think, now there's only 19 more things to go.


PS: If you're not Sachem staff member, you can follow along as well. Just use the list found at 43 Things to record your progress. You'll need to create a 43 Things account first. I'm sorry, but I can't include any flash drives or special prizes for incentives. For you, I hope just the fun of following along is enough.
