This is the home of the Monash University Department of Marketing "23 Things" project. Together we will work through these 23 activities, and learn about Web 2.0 tools and technologies.
As a reward, if you complete all 23 tasks successfully over the next nine weeks, and you document your journey on your own blog (which you will set up as one of the first tasks!), you will be rewarded with your very own iPod - so that you can continue to enjoy many of your new Web 2.0 experiences while on the move! And we'll make sure that it's a RED iPod, so that a portion of the purchase price supports the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.
Your mission (should you choose to accept it) will be to complete 23 online activities, all self-directed. While we will provide you with an objective for each task, it will be up to you, the independent participant, to find your way through the Web 2.0 maze. Of course you should work with others who have succeeded if you need any assistance, but you are likely to learn a lot more if you "muddle through" each task, and discover solutions yourself.

And we'll make sure that it's a RED iPod, so that a portion of the purchase price supports the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.The idea for this program was developed by Helene Blowers, based at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Most of the activities that you will complete here come from the original program established in 2007.
So, if you want to particpate, then go and get your list of 23 Things, and begin discovering the wide world of Web 2.0!

ReplyDelete@steve: As a Department with a genuine social conscience, all iPods will be official "Product-Red" models. It's a really worthwhile cause, so you'll have to swallow your football biases in this instance!
