This program has definitively given me a lot of new resources I can turn to when I have my own classroom.
Honestly, I didn't expect that this blog would be so much work. It really takes a lot of self discipline to keep up with it!
I felt as if there was a lot of repetition between the discovery exercises. For example, Livebinders, pinterest, and delicious are all similar concepts that could be combined into one exercise. All of the useful tools on the internet that this blog shared with me has influenced me to include more technology into my lesson plans.
I will constantly read up on new technology developments. I expect this 23 things program to evolve as technology so I think it would be a good idea to check up on the new 23 things bloggers each semester.
I agree that some of the exercises were relatively redundant. It would be ideal if the list was minimized to 16 Things, with one due each week of a 16-week semester. Certainly some Things were much more time consuming than others. I will say however that I learned a lot in this class, and will carry some of these tools with me into the future. I just wish there wasn't so much to ingest in such a short time.
