Thing 23 WOW!

1st...I love that I could do this at my own pace, alone, w/only tangents being my only distractions!

1. My favorite part was building the blog and making it the Practice page for what we learned. Additionally I can go back to it, and the classroom2.0 blog, to review 'how to do' something.
2. I accepted responsibility for my own learning.
Accepted "challenges." Right around Technocrati I couldn't absorb one more piece of information. it was so bad that i couldn't even read for pleasure that evening! I came back to it a few days later and put parameters around what I needed to know for now, which was familiarity. Once accomplished I moved on.
I played a lot in preparation for "real" use
I plan to teach a few of these tricks to my students tho Manchester does have the world's greatest tech teacher. I would like to do this to confirm my own learning...then Bob can REALLY teach them! :-)
I started my own blog/journal where I can keep track of places I've gone and fabulous food I've eaten.
3. The fun of putting stuff on a blog.
Flickr mash ups
Blogs: Librarythings and Lausd Librarian
Google Reader newfeeds...who needs news shows now? I can read everything they're reading!
Tho not on course curriculum, I began to utilize my igoogle account - docs, notebook, reader, and homepage - as more of a home base.
De.li.ci.ous - or however it is spelled - has begun to help me with my bookmark accessibility issue. Rollyo will enable me to set up specific topic related searches for student work.
4.I can't think of anything right now.
5. If the topic were something 'usable' for my classroom - or where I want my classroom to go - YES! I would participate in another discovery program like this one.
6. As I implement them into the classroom, the "things" discovered in Classroom 2.0 provide me with more engaging tools for my teaching toolbox.

whooeee! It has been GREAT
