Last Thing #23

My favorite discoveries were Delicious, Flickr , The library thing , PhotoStory and Wikipedia. I also enjoyed making my avatar, my skin, and learning how to manage my blog which at first was a bit overwhelming but once I crossed that line everything got easier.
From here on I have a countless amount of resources to satisfy the needs in my classroom. I know I will be sharing it and using it at school this year.
One thing that kind of surprise me was Google. I knew that it was a great search engine but I was not aware of its amount of applications and how interconnected they are with other tools. It made it easy to navigate from one place to another. One thing that I had hard time was getting permission to place my comment in the Wikki's sandbox.
I think 23 things is too much. In my opinion, half as many tools would be better with more specific assignments to practice in each one.
I would love to participate in another Tech program. As a long life learner, in this ever changing cyberspace, there are always new tech things to cultivate myself.
23 things is an amazing opportunity to grow in the field of technology. The amount of useful technology at the teachers and librarians' hands lends itself to provide the desired or needed information to satisfy the demands required at work. Even though it is time consuming it is worth it.
I enjoyed reading the comments in other participants' blogs and seeing the creativity in their skins and blog design. I will do more on that now that I have completed all my discovery assignments.
