Thing #24 it's not over yet


My favorite part of the project was hands down the animotos I like how easy it was to create a slide show of what I have done this year. I think the students would also be impressed with a slide of the work they have done in the year as well as to see what they have accomplished. I did not like using as much of the social network sites at first but after finding some that are actually based on education I can appreciate their place much more.

I think overall what I have learned from this program is that I have to be more open minded to new ways of learning and teaching. I never realized how close minded I was until I was forced to go through some of these programs. I needed to go through that in order to help my students to accept different roles or ideas in the classroom.

I enjoyed the way that our assignments were submitted. I also thought that the time frame was great as college students we have other classes where the turn in dates are 2 days after the assignment is given and all our attention has to go to that. This class allowed room to move things around if need be. I would not change a thing about that. Also I like the reflections we get to see how what we did relates to what we were supposed to learn. This is better than the teachers just telling us. Instead we tell them how we think it relates.

Although this program completely frustrated me and most of the time I despised doing it truly learned a lot from it. I learned all about new materials available to me. I also learned the many uses of them.

Ok. So the 23 things is not an original idea but it was still adapted to fit our curriculum and to help teach us. Through creative commons our teacher had the legal right to take this idea and change it to fit our needs in the classroom. I found a site based on the ideas that could be adapted "Learning 2.0 (the 23 Things) A LNSS Project- regional Network for the website http://lnssproject.blogspot.com/. because we have create commons and fair use laws we are allowed to use these ideas as our own as long as they are given credit and we do not take from them financially. I believe all teachers will use creative commons in their classrooms. I know that I definitely will be
