After viewing the extensive list of sites that won awards, I’ve given in to my obsession with listmaking and created an account at 43 Things http://www.43things.com/. This site enables you to list your goals and write entries about each goal. Others viewing the site can cheer you on, and you can encourage them with their goals also.

Using an online list might stop me losing all my postit notes. The challenge for me now is to actually do the things on my list, not just keep making more lists! On a less positive note, it is so quick to write a list on paper and you don’t need a password!!

A number of the award winning sites looked like fun, but I didn’t see many that would be useful for work purposes. (I’ll play with some at home though!) Some that did appear useful, such as Google documents,  were blocked by DET. The use of others, such as online survey generators,  might also be breaching workplace policy. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d be a bit nervous about just launching in and using some of the tools I saw listed… Do we have any guidelines or policies for using Web 2.0 tools?
