Thing 23

Wow - I can't believe that I have made it to Thing 23!!!!!!!  What a fun and exciting journey.  I have learned a ton and am very happy that I had the opportunity to take this class.  I can't even begin to describe how I have developed from Thing 1 to Thing 23!  Truth be told, prior to taking this course I thought - it would be an easy and fast way to knock off some SBCEU's.  Well, to my delight I learned so much more than I ever could have expected!  If I had to do it all over again, I would have done it with or without the added incentive!  It was worth it :)  It just amazes me how technology is ever changing.  I am one of the younger teachers at my school, and thought of as pretty technologically savvy - wait until they see me now!  Ha ha ha!
I am so excited to implement many of the Thing's I have learned into my classroom.  The last video that we just watched couldn't have said it any better.  The Internet has become a place not only to explore, but to share, trade and collaborate.  What an awesome tool - especially for educators!  Although I am finished with the "Things" - my journey is far from over!  I can't wait until summer vacation (42 days - not that I am counting or anything ;) - to have time to sit and discover new ways I can spice up my Spanish curriculum!  Thank you for reading my posts - what a fun adventure!
