Thing 24

Animoto was my favorite activity in the 23 Things assignment. The entire journey has been a real eye opener. It has given me many tools to utilize in the classroom and on a personal basis.
I was disappointed to realize that after I completed the 23rd thing that there was actually a thing 24 - truth in advertising issues here. I would recommend eliminating Thing 16 which seemed to have repetative portions of an earlier exercise. Then re-number and have the 23rd thing be this thing.
That way when you reach the 23rd thing completion - you are DONE!
I feel that the most significant contirbution to my teaching has been in realizing the amount of on-line resoures that are available. In particular, I feel that the Blog and Podcast scenarios could be an asset to help students who miss class or need extra help. It gives me a way to reach students outside of class and also gives there parents access as well.
It has been a long journey down the path of the 24 Things. Now that this part of my journey is over, I begin the journey of continuing to make my blog and other resources relevant to my continuing journey in being a lifelong learner.
