23 Things Summary

Wow!! I can't believe how much I have learned over the past weeks. I had heard of most of the tools we explored in 23 Things, but I never imagined actually working with them all (and more) in such a short amount of time.
Although I really enjoyed working with the photos and image generators, I think my favorite discovery of all was learning about all Google has to offer.
I look forward to revisiting the Learning 2.0 23 Things website often to go back over the Web 2.0 tools. I feel like I've learned alot, but I have a sinking suspicion we've just scratched the surface.
The neat thing about these 23 Things is that I don't have to tackle them all at once. I can pick one and work on it for a while, share it with colleagues and show them how their students can use it. The sites are so user friendly, I know that I'll be able to get a couple of teachers to "bite.
I really enjoyed the experience, as I get closer to my deadline I realize that I've had plenty of time to complete all of the tasks outlined. I spent more time than necessary on some of the tools, but that is just a testament to how much fun I was having. I can't imagine how I would have managed 23 Things during the school year, though. I would definitely take another discovery program like this again. I appreciate how it has been more than just an online class, it has really been a series of experiences.
Until then, I'll just keep revisiting Learning 2.0 - 23 Things and listening to the podcasts I have subscribed to via RSS.

Dear Mary & Debbie,
Thanks you guys, I know it has been a lot of work on you, but I feel like I have learned so much and I am truly grateful that you have offered this class. You are the best, and we are fortunate to have you here in Mesquite ISD!!
