Last Thing

Can it be possible that I actually finished all 23 Things, plus Thing a and Thing b? I can blog in the dark, I can blog while dogs bark. I can NING, I'm Delicious! I've got a wiki here, working on a wiki there. I am so socially networked it's crazy! I have flickred my picasas and read my feeds.

I can't remember a class that was so intimidating going in, time consuming, at times frustrating, yet absolutely mentally challenging and fun! It is truly worth it.

It is hard to limit a discovery to my favorite as it seemed everything was new. Professionally, I think the Google docs will help me the most in my position. Once I create a wiki for work or adapt the one I have to include work that will be nice. As much as I love to read, it's hard to keep up with, not to mention cost, books. The feeds are a super way to stay updated with what is going on. And you are getting current thoughts.

This class has taught me that even though I thought I was a lifelong learner, I am not sure in what world I was learning. Obviously not the tech world. Whew, I never knew all that was out there. As I said in several of my posts, with all this available how can learning in 09-10 be anything but exciting?

I plan to keep checking my feeds but honestly I have to make a schedule to remind myself. I am planning on either adapting this blog or starting a new one that is more open to literacy. I think one with teachers would be fun.

I think the take-away for me is that the internet is an incredible tool that we are not using to the fullest (hmmmm like our brains maybe). I was very skeptical whenever anyone would mention technology being used in the classroom. Always afraid of being replaced! How ignorant could I have been?

If there is an update class like 46 Things or something I would be very interested. Maybe during the year would be a little easier. I thought the summer would be easier but the time was short if one is still working. Certainly worth it though. I wouldn't change a thing. You ladies did a superb job! I am proud of myself for finishing and have such a sense of accomplishment. I even added the badge to my facebook page! What a nerd I am!
