Thing #23 -- Expand Your Mind

This has been an amazing class! When I think back to where I was in January and was so "scared" to start so many new accounts! Now when I hear "You'll have to create a new account." I look at it as a new tool to use.

I am planning on using as much of the tools that I can to help increase student learning and to help support teachers. I can see a major uses for http://wikispaces.com/ and GoogleDocs as students work on projects together. Also Flickr Creative Commons as a shared site for students to gather photos to support their projects.

I have been using del.icio.us to keep track of blogs and web site that I like to visit. I have also started using http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs to help me stay connected to colleagues and websites for libraries and educational use. It's much easier to go to one site and have all the information, wesites, blogs, and fun stuff in one place. I also like http://www.google.com/ig
I think I'm going to make this my home page on my personal computer at home.

I am going to have to spend more time on most of these sites and using more of the tools shown to me in this class. I now know what I will be doing a lot of this summer! I would like to use and share most of these tools next year with students and staff!

Thank You Myrag!
