Favorite Discoveries or Exercises
Well one of my favorite discoveries made through this journey was the fact that anyone can create... A BLOG!!!! I had no clue of the easiness of doing this, and I think Google makes it even easier on people who really had no clue how people created these things. I also really enjoyed using the reader on Google, and I use it every time on Sunday nights after The Walking Dead goes off to see what new headline is going to go up on their blog.
23 Things Effect
The effect that 23 Things had on me was that I found out that I love doing tasks on my own as long as I am given directions. Also, 23 Things has effected my writing, because I now see to be much more personable of a writer than I was before this experience.
The SURPRISES
The biggest surprise of this whole experience was the fact that completing 23 Things is not as difficult as everyone claims it is. I have heard so many complaints about how difficult it is to complete this... It was a breeze, and I strangely enjoyed it.
The Improvement Needed...
My biggest complaint through the whole experience and what I felt was the biggest improvement needed was the fact that certain applications or tools you had to sign up for, you had to give your credit card number. The Internet is not a safe place, and if a company is not nationally rated like Amazon or eBay where a secure server like PayPal is not used, I am NOT going to give them my credit card number. So for future reference, the Thing #14 (in my opinion) needs new resources/tools that do not ask for your credit card number.
My Future Practice as a... Teacher!
When I did the library database exercise, I found this really cool article about how a teacher had each of her students set up a blog where she had them do their art critiques for her art class. I HOPE I am able to do something like that, because I have found most students do not want to constructively criticize or be constructively criticized in a group setting. So I believe a blog will alleviate that pressure regarding art critiques.
The Upcoming New Developments
Lastly, the way I will keep up with new developments is through Yahoo's main page, because they always have about 40 different articles ranging from technology to death role. So basically if something new happens with web 2.0, I will be able to find it one there : )
That's the end folks....
