This 23 Things Blog has been a roller coaster ride! I sometimes experienced feelings of frustration when trying to figure out embedding codes and HTML and things like that, but I also was very proud of this blog. Completing this project and doing these activities have made me so much more confident in technology and my future as a teacher. Now, I'm not so afraid of being left behind since before, I wasn't the most tech savvy person in the world. I was pretty surprised at how little I knew about technology. I honestly had never heard of about half of the websites we used and RSS feeds and things. I knew nothing about social bookmarking or even much about bookmarking in general. That's sad, right? I learned how to use so many things! Things like image generators, iGoogle, to-do lists and calanders, and LiveBinders. Many of these Web 2.0 tools I can use just about everyday and many of them will make my life much easier. I liked almost everything about the project except that some things repeated several times. I feel like there were a few too many things about social networking. But all in all, it was a great program and I learned many things!
I am continuing to learn about new technology after this class by subscribing to the RSS feed for the Learning 2.1 blog. Technology changes so fast and it is very important to keep up with it so my students will get the most they can out of my class.
