My experience with APSU 23 Things has been awesome, bumpy, frustrating, and educational all at the same time. I really enjoyed learning about blogging, Animoto, the web-based applications, flow charts/mind maps, the image generator, and RSS feeds. Of all the 23 Things, I feel these will be the ones that I will use the most on a regular basis. Using technology to my advantage is no longer the hardest Lifelong Learning Habit for me, it is a constantly improving and easier habit I am forming. After this experience I feel more knowledgeable and prepared for the technology I will face in the classrooms. When I first learned of completing the 23 Things, I thought it would just be "busy work"and it was, but I learned an immense amount about the different technologies that I did not know before and I am very thankful for this style of a learning experience. The biggest issue for me was Thing #15, I don't know what the glitch is, but there is one when trying to edit the page, this should either be corrected or better explained in the directions for Thing #15 for many students had the same issues when trying to post. Completing APSU 23 Things has taught me that whether I like it or not technology is going to become my new best friend and has more benefits that pitfalls. I have to stay on my toes and keep up with the times if I am going to be the best, most prepared educator I can be! And, thanks to my RSS Feeds and the different educational forums I have joined along the way on this experience, I think that I have the tools to stay informed with the newest and latest technology for education and the classrooms!
GO ME!
