The End is Now

Though the road was hard and the nights were long, I have survived the 23 labors of the 23Things. I enjoyed making a video and utilizing image generators. I learned about the use of Mindmaps and LiveBinders; I even learned that there is lesson material available for my grade level out there in cyberspace. I only wished the 23 Things were not as demanding as it was sometimes. Possibly cutting in half would do the trick. 12 Things is easier for a college students to do alongside 5 hours of work a day. As a teacher I would the knowledge I gained about blogs to design my own future class blog so I could help students with questions outside of class. The Web 2.0 tools as vast as they are ever-changing, and so too must my attention to the importance of them. Using RSS feeds I can keep track of important news as it happens and with blogs at fingertips no student of mind will be left behind. I cannot guarantee that the 23 Things will make me a great teacher, for only I can decide that myself.
