Thing 23...I made it!

What a fun, engaging adventure! I can't believe how many valuable tools and resources I have acquired over the course of a few weeks. I went into this thinking it would be a lot of review of things I already know. Boy, was I ever wrong.

With each Thing I found myself becoming more and more confident in my technological abilities. Now I know who to navigate around these sites instead of just knowing the sites by name. Playing around on Web 2.0 has peaked my interested and I hope to learn even more, which will in turn help my students learn more effectively.

I am so eager to try some of these new things in my class. My students are going to love online videos, playing around with pictures, and maybe even creating a classroom book via a wiki! I have already been sharing these resources with my cousin, a second grade teacher. I will be encouraging her, along with others, to use this easy to use technology in their rooms. What a wonderful way to engage and enhance students learning!
