The end!

This was SO interesting! I had no idea there was so much out there-I know I've barely scratched the surface. I took a web 2.0 tools class last summer and came back excited about Voice Thread. I did a fun project this year with it and I'd like to figure out more ways to incorporate it. I think I can learn a few tools and use them in different ways. So here's my to do list:
  • Voice Thread
  • podcasts
  • Flickr
  • Delicious
  • BigHugeLab-all that photo fun!
  • RSS
  • iGoogle
  • keep electronic to do list
  • check out Ning network on a regular basis
  • sign up and try the teachersrecess network
  • keep up my Google website
  • online scrapbooking (will be taking a class in August)
  • Picassa webalums
  • Library Thing
  • Keep up the 23 Things blog
  • Figure out a way to share projects within our school
  • Ask someone to help me and keep me going and not giving up
I can't find a Thing 23 for the question prompts. So I'm doing my own thing here!

I was surprised how much STUFF there is and how usually easy it is. And if you have trouble-someone can help you pretty quickly. Obviously the more you do, the easier it gets. It seems to me that more teachers should/could be familiar with the tools that are out there. If we don't try to keep up our students will be so far ahead of that school will feel irrelevant and out of touch with their worlds. With so many choices, teachers have to make choices about what is best for their students.
