I chose to participate in 23Things this semester because I had 2 colleagues who completed the course last year. They both raved about how fun, exciting and easy this course was. I have seen first hand how they have been able to implement what they have learned into their classrooms already.
I too hope to learn as much as they have and add all I can into my own classroom. I want to use the Internet and other technology to enhance my current curriculum to reach all of my students. I know that as an educator I am competing with Ipods, T.V. and other media sources to catch my students interest. I hope that through this course I will learn new and interesting ways to do so.
I loved the web2.0 concept. I hadn't thought about it that way before. I also found it a bit nerve racking that anyone anywhere can read my writing once I post it. It is definitely an empowering thought as well as a scary one. I now realize that not all of the information out there is accurate. As an educator I must be cognisant of that fact and be mindful when using the Internet or having my students use it.
Overall, I am SO EXCITED to be part of this course!!!!
Until the next thing......
