Thing #23 Summarize Your Thoughts about This Program

Well, it's nearly the deadline and I'm finally finishing! I do make deadlines...I had done so well working regularly at the beginning...and then life took over. This was probably one of the most enjoyable trainings I've done...especially since I could do it when I wanted and could spend as much time as I needed (or repeat and watch those videos over and over and over!) I am definitely going to try this again and see how much deeper I can get into some of these things...and then I'll click to more links and see where it takes me. I have enjoyed sharing with my staff and I think many of them will partake in the summer version. Thanks for offering this!

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? I just loved learning it all....it was great learning things that I could immediately put to use at school (trading cards have taken over my school!).
How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? This program has encouraged me to continue to learn...I've always wanted to keep going...but having the "lessons" ready to go made it easier than me seeking out information. This also made me look at how much I wanted to take on at a time.....I've learned to pick and choose a little bit better
Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I found out that I had already stepped out into Web 2.0 with my readings in journals and other classes that I had taken. I also learned that even an "old" person can learn new tricks!
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? It was fun as it was...however a few times for face to face discussion would be good too....some of us did that on our own!
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you choose to participate? DEFINETLY
How would you describe your learning experience in ONE WORD or in ONE SENTENCE, so we could use your words to promote 23 Things learning activities? Fun!

Hurrah, Karen. You made it. I finished mine tonight too. Whew!!! I hope you had a wonderful spring break. I think I'm ready to go back to the 8th graders. Maybe.

Congratulations! You were so fast out of the box and then you had me worried! I hope some of us can get together and truly TALK about our 23 (+) experiences!

Excellent!!!! You GO Girl! You did a great job and like me MADE your deadline! I'm glad we got to "play" together!

I agree with you. This journey of the 23 things has been exciting, rewarding, and frustrating at times--but that seems to describe technology. I know that this venture will help me share with others that there is so much more than just e-mail.

I had to laugh when I read the part about watching the videos over and over. I feel the same way. I'm new to this journey, so I'm hoping that by the end I'll be a better blogger. Thanks for getting us all started on this path.
