- Go back to your thoughts/ideas about Library 2.0. Has anything changed as a result of this experience?
- I definitely learned that there is a lot out there. I also learned that just because something is an effective tool, doesn't mean that it is an effective tool for me. Just like in the non-digital world, a critical skill is going to be incorporating what works and eliminating what doesn't. The key in the digital world is going to be clearly defining the term "works". For me works is going to mean making me a more effective husband, father, teacher and contributor. Anything that doesn't help me with this, either by allowing me to have more time, be more efficient or be more effective is not a working tool for me.
- What were your favorite Things and discoveries?
- How did you connect with others doing the 23 Things On a Stick?
- Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
- I'm still anxious to connect more with others about their learning. If I've learned one thing more than anything else, it's that seeing how others are using the tools is far more effective than trying to figure it out by yourself. This is an important though with regards to education. Kids need to be shown how to incorporate tools into what they are already doing to be more effective, just like we do as teachers. I'm anxious to see what others took from the different tools and learn more from them!
- How would you describe your learning experience in one word or in one sentence, so we could use your words to promote 23 Things On a Stick learning activities to others?
- Things are not as scary or overwhelming as they seem once you commit to taking some time to explore them!

Are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that you have completed all of this. My head is still spinning after creating my avatar (which I loved!) and completing thing 2. You are always a marvel to me with your persistence, resourcefulness and dedication!
I'll get there!
Ditto to what Sue said!!
ReplyDeleteJust a reminder to stop by other's blogs and give some comments throughout the remainder of the summer. You may also want to further explore some of the tools that interested you to see how you might incorporate them into your classroom.

Wally, congrats on finishing up 23 things!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your summer,

Mark!
ReplyDeleteI've loved your thoughtful comments throughout the 23 Things. I really respect your views and they mirror mine often-although it sounds better when you say it. I can see that I need to talk to you more often about what you're doing (and not doing) and why!
By the way...I set up a Delicious account and used the tag feature to search for Reggio sites. I think I found some good ones to go back to later.
