Summary of 23 Things.

YAY I am done with the 23 things!

This program was so interesting, I have had more fun playing around with all the new tools we discovered during this exercise. My favorite tools we learned to use were flickr, zoho writer and google docs, social networking, wiki's, and Animoto! I think each of these have possible uses in the classroom. I definitely plan on creating a classroom Wiki for students to be able to share and look up information with each other! I want the communication between students, parents, and myself to be very open. I want everyone to understand what is going on. I think this open communication can be done using Web 2.0!

I was surprised there were so many programs out on the web that I had never heard of or used! I am a veteran of social networking, but I didn't know anything about Wiki's. I feel there is still so much for me to learn and these were just the beginning steps to help me with life long learning. I hope to continue to explore these programs and applications as I go through school and become a teacher. I think a way to keep up with the constant changes of Web 2.0 is just to google Web 2.0, there are so many useful links that pop up that a person could explore and learn so much from! One new website I just discovered the other day was Google Buzz! It seems to be a lot like facebook but in its very beginning forms! I am interested to see where this takes me in the coming months!

I think the only thing I would improve or fix about this assignment is some of the links and videos posted didn't always work! That was frustrating because I wanted to know as much about the topic as possible! The links wouldn't have been posted if they weren't important.

I really did enjoy this assignment, which is perhaps why I am done with the 23 things long before they are actually due! I look forward to implementing many of these is my classroom. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
