Thing 16
I felt near panic when 23 things became 43 things as I am running a bit behind schedule getting my things completed. I didn’t care for 43 things. Here’s why:
First, I just have a difficult time believing that everyone needs to know what my goals are. I’ll admit that I wouldn’t care for any one here, there, or wherever knowing if I am meeting my goals or not. I get enough criticism from my faculty to know that many of them have issues with my performance as it is!! Who needs to add strangers to the mix? Not me — at least not right now.
I also don’t see myself using 43 things to check out other people’s goals. Does that make me uncaring? Insensitive? Obnoxious? I hope not for I see a mix of 640 kids daily here in my media center, 50 + staff members, all of whom I need to gently affirm or correct whatever the need may be. Some days, I just feel a bit too drained to care about one more person. Oh – that does make me sound obnoxious and for that I apologize.
I also don’t see utilizing this with students. I have been introduced to too many other great Web 2.0 tools that I would want to focus on with students. Sorry, but this one is just not for me.
