Whew!! I made it!!!!!

Boy, what a journey this was!

Take a few moments to reflect on your journey. You've covered a lot of material over the past ten weeks. What does it all mean? How has your thinking changed between Thing 1 and Thing 23? Do you see the trends that Hargadon writes about in a different light than when you read about them in Thing 1? Has this program changed how you view the Internet or how you view education in the digital world? What plans have you made for using these tools in and out of the classroom? How will you continue to learn about Web 2.0 tools? What are your big "take aways" from this experience?

I think it is safe to say that I an change my name to I DO KNOW TECH. ( thanks to 23 things). I have learned so much in these ten weeks that my head is spinning with all sorts of ideas to implement into the classroom next year. At least I have the summer to goof around with the things learned and try to focus it on what goes on in my co-taught classes. Students these days are so tech savvy they would love to use these tools in the classroom. I wasn't much of a tech person before. I really only used the internet for a few boring things. Now my eyese are open to the world of tech and all the great things you can do with it. Communication is the key with schools,teachers, and parents and what better way to have it than with technology. Families are on the go so much and using technology can only take a few minutes and with smartphones and ipads you can stay in touch pretty much with anything. I can't wait to share what I have learned with my students and parents. My very favorite was the blog because you can entwine many of the others things in it. I think that is where i am going to start.
