Thing # 23

I have learned so much doing this project, but still have things I need to learn. Yes, I would participate if you were to offer another Discovery Project. This has been a lot of fun – but it does take a lot more time than 18 hours.
Some of my favorites were Flickr; creating the trading cards, learning to create a blog (partly so I can teach the kids to do so), tagging, RSS feed, embedding videos – although that took me more than one try. There was very little I did not like – the difficulty I had uploading the podcast made that my least favorite thing.
Technology is one way to make learning more fun and thereby easier to learn.

This has been a great learning experience – lots of fun and taught me even more than I expected it would.

Thanks!!!!!

Ning looks like it could be a great way to share ideas and network with other teachers and I really liked the Teacher Librarian Ning. I think it could be helpful to students to be able to network with other students perhaps set up a discussion about books they are reading or a project they were doing.
