Thing #23 Time to Reflect

What a superb experience this has been. I really enjoyed working at my own pace, spending more time here, going back and re-reading information, sharing comments with fellow travelers.

I think my very favorite discoveries were Rollyo and Nings, they could be very useful for both teachers and our young students. As far as my lifelong learning goals I found lots of new ways to access and filter new information and strategies. I'm not really sure which of the myriad techniques will stay active in my work, time will tell, but I have acquired a taste for searching out new things. That's probably the biggest plus of participating in the 23 Things project. I really loved discovering Library Thing and Delicious, and the organizational tools offered by tags and labels. Those were big take aways.

The project is extremely well organized, and I don't have many suggestions about it... perhaps to check all the links periodically, and have Mac OS platforms available for everything. I know several of us in Dallas had problems with Podcasts and Videocasts, but we will be working on those together this fall. I would definitely participate in a future exploration, especially one so expertly designed as this.

It's hard to think of one word to describe my learning experience, but I would say "delightful" fits pretty well! Plus it was delightful to have my cohorts for support and suggestions; we had a pretty outstanding team of learners and explorers!

Thanks to my "homies" at Spring Branch ISD! You made me very proud!
