Boy was this a challenge! The 23 things had its ups and downs, but overall I felt as though this was a very great program. I learned/gained so much from this program. I learned how to build an avatar, create blogs, register my blog, I learned about flickr, Rss, image generators, flowcharts, etc (there were soo many). But through it all, this program was worth the hard work, the late nights, and the frustration =)
My favorite exercises on this journey was thing 8, the jigsaw mashup. This thing was so much fun because I learned how to make a puzzle using random pictures and the picture I chose for my puzzle was a backpack because I want to teach.
This program has in fact affected my lifelong learning goals because when I was little I always planed to teach just like my third grade teacher because she was my favorite. But now I have discovered several different learning tools that can help make my classroom more exciting than my third grade class. Now that Web 2.0 has been established, I have several options that can keep my classroom entertaining.
Some unexpected things from this program included signing up for all these different sites. I have so many new accounts being sent to my Google account (lol). In almost every thing we were asked to sign up an account, so that was something I did not expect and it kind of took away from the program.
Some things that may help improve this program is what I mentioned before, now having so many signups. I'm the type of person that really doesn't like having thousands of acoounts/usernames/passwords.
As a teacher, I plan on incorporating alot of the flowcharts, social sites, etc into my classroom. Especially the creative activities including the puzzle and flickr.
I plan on keeping up with each on my accounts especially the ones where I made calendars and to-do-lists.
