Thing 23 Final Course Reflections

Filed under: Uncategorized — doveclare at 12:16 pm on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

THis has been an amazing journey.

I can’t wait to get started using and sharing what I have learned.

I still struggle with trying to READ everyting (RSS feeds) and time management.

I also struggle with seeking  ”mastery” of any one item aka “thing”

Thank you Shelly Paul for all your great hints on how to proceed and succeed.

I know I have miles to go but thanks to this course I have begun!

Library thing and creative commons are resources I will immediately put to use in September.

 I am looking forward to meeting Helen Blowers the originator of 23 Things at our NEFLIN annual meeting on Sept. 12 in Jacksonville, FL

Thank You,  Shelly and Frank

See Bolles2.0 sandbox for example of my learning.

Thing 21 Page flakes

What an amazing tool.  It is so easy to navigate, change and publish.  It may replace my homepage.  Still working on choosing either google reader or this.  So many wonderful choices. Links galore! Thanks for the K12 learning page it has a number of resources I had forgotten about through my 2.0 journey.  I will certainly use it as a reference and refresher in the future projects I am planning.

Thing 22 Social Networking ” NINGs”

Filed under: Uncategorized — doveclare at 12:13 pm on Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Steve’s intro to Classroom 2.0 was worth watching.  I still feel as a spectator in 2.0 but I’m sure time will get me on board soon.  I believe our students will be active participants on Web 2.0 and look forward to learning more.

NING in Education:  The thought of starting my own page is very intimdating.  I hope “necessity is the mother of invention”. So when  MY need arrives I’l have the knowledge to proceed.

Thing 20 Google Docs

Filed under: Uncategorized — doveclare at 6:11 am on Tuesday, August 12, 2008

This is a great way to share files that need collaborative editing.

I would use it among our fellow librarians in setting up ou r library mission statement.

Also, Ialmost yearly, I collaborate with teaching collegues on submitting grant request. This tool is invaluable for that purpose.

I am looking forward to using it once school starts up.
