I have really enjoyed the 23 Things journey. Although some of the things weren't totally new, I was able to rediscover why I looked into them in the first place. I did, though, learn many new and creative ways to add info to my blog and my classroom. I am truly a life-long learner, and I want to inspire my students to be too. With all the technology we have at our fingertips, learning about about anything, from anywhere is possible, not to mention fun. I have learned how much I really enjoy blogging. Other than other classmates' blogs, I had never really checked out anyone else's blog. Seeing what others are blogging about and just how creative their sites are is inspiring. Although I only saw bits and pieces of the movie, I even searched for the blog about Julie/Julia Childs that was made into a movie. Some of the items I learned about, but had never used before were the RSS feeds, Animoto, and the online image generators. These are definitely items I plan to continue to use and learn more about.
Where do I go from here? Well, I certainly hope to continue my blog even after my graduate classes are finished. I was happy to discover one day that some of my students have been checking it out. I know this because one came up and asked me "What thing are you on now?" That was very exciting! I hope that my work and ideas will inspire someone in someway. The Cool Cat, in a former post, said it best, so here are her words, not mine: "If you died today and don't share 'your secret', it will die with you and you will miss the chance to leave behind something far more important...a legacy." I can only hope to do just that!
