Thing #23--WooHOO!

Well.. here it is...the final blog for this assignment, but since this blog is now on my library home page www.humbleisd.net/smslibrary , this will not be my last post! Here are the answers to the questions:

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I loved the flickr tools, learning how to mess with and convert videos on Teacher Tube, and generally learning how to manipulate Library Thing to get it to do what I want for the purposes of my library. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use Twitter for www.hoboteacher.com/blog and when I do, I'm sure it will be one of my faves.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

I am hoping there is another one next summer. I have heard a lot about Web 2.o, but I never really "got it" until now. I am always looking for workshops or whatever to stay one step ahead of the game, and this did it for me.

Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I loved Shelfari..I had never seen that before. I made a blog for my husband...who still remains in the 19th century when it comes to computers (sorry, honey), so I love to share new things with people. I think the whole idea of this has spread like wildfire and that excites me. Oh, I also loved those tutorial guys (Common Craft?) and their videos. They were awesome.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

Well, since I didn't have a time crunch like everyone else (except Aug. 5th), nothing really.

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you choose to participate?

Without a doubt.

How would you describe your learning experience in ONE WORD or in ONE SENTENCE, so we could use your words to promote 23 Things learning activities?

23 Things is the best free online interactive tutorial I have ever used.

Okay...I'm off to comment on other blogs! Ciao for now!

Thanks for your comment on Love, Laugh, Learn. I'm sure you're doing all of those things, too!
