THE END Thing 23

Wow I know that saying it's the end is really not true. It's only the beginning. Now I must take all this info and apply it or it will truly be a waste. Not only that, but if all that info was waiting out there and I didn't know about it, WHAT ELSE IS???? It is mind boggling!!! I am still excited and overwhelmed but have enjoyed the whole process. All along the way I have been informing others about some of my favorite "Things." To me, this is truly the best way to learn. Once you begin teaching others, you will never forget the information.

My favorite Things would have to be the wiki's, the google docs, the photo mash ups and generators, and learning about tagging websites through Delicious. I really enjoy an organized life and some of the above will really lend themselves well to that part of me.

I read in one of my fellow "Thingers" blogs that they would have benefited from some group collaboration. I did like the independent time schedule, but it would have been nice to toss around ideas with others. I think that it would have helped them set in a little better as well. I know that in the next week, I want to go back through all the things and jot down a few notes to keep handy so I don't forget, because I already have. Hopefully I'll still be able to reference the videos in the future if necesarry???

Overall I'm still excited and can't wait to implement some of these "Things" into my classroom and life. I hope to share some of them soon with my colleagues. I think that with some discussion between the music teachers, we would be able to come up with some neat ideas.
