One Last Thing...

Yay! I'm almost done.  I feel really accomplished in completing the 23 Things.  My favorite exercises and discoveries during my 23 Things experience are Animoto, YouTube, del.cio.us and iGoogle.  This program has affected my lifelong goals by proving to myself and to everyone else that I can actually reach lifelong goals, just as I have reached my goal of completing 23 Things successfully.  I know that no matter what goal I make, I know that I can reach it if I remain disciplined and focused.  Just as I have done with 23 Things.  I am really surprised that I was able to reach my goals.  I thought this was going to be the hardest class ever when I began because I am so computer illiterate.  I thought I was never going to get the hang of blogging or whatever.  23 Things has certainly been the hardest project I have ever done.  So an important take-away from this has been I have gained knowledge about computers and I have proven that I can use a computer in a useful, smart way.  I believe that format and concept are great with 23 Things. However, I hated having to open so many accounts.  If you could alter the websites and maybe find some websites that don't require us to create an account that would be great.  I have been introduced to a wide world of technology and now I can't go back.  I will always use technology in ways to advance learning in my classroom.  And technology is going to be an ever-increasing phenomena in the classroom.   I plan to use the knowledge gleaned from 23 Things to stay up-to-date with changes in technology and education. I plan to keep up with web 2.0 by keeping up with all the websites we have used.  Some of which are very useful.  Like iGoogle and School 2.0.  Also, I find it useful when I see some new piece of technology that has something to do with the Web I research it.  For instance, I wanted to learn more about the iPad 2 so I googled it.  And now I'm caught up with this new piece of technology that connects to the Internet.  If you ever have questions about Web 2.0 and its new developments, just google it.
