I think the 23 things came from the 43 things at www.43things.com.There were lots of "23 things" listed when I searched for it. A couple of the addresses I found are plcmc12-things.blogspot.com and resa-23things.blogspot.com.
I know now how to quote things from Creative Commons , but how many others out thee are not being as wise as myself!

Summary
What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
My favorite discoveries an exercises were Flickr, creating calendars, Animoto, and facebok. I could definitely see myself using each one of these programs in my classroom.I thought creating the blog itself and the avatar was really cool as well. These exercises have truly brought me up to par with current technology trends.

Of course there were. I would have never imagined that you can do so easy things that make powerful statements with the gadgets that I have tinkered with for the past two weeks.
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
This was a great deal of work and it took a lot of time o complete. My only suggestion would be to break it up into a semester worth of work verses a couple of weeks. I also think everyone should had to participate in it just so we could view their points s well.
How will what you have learned influence your practice as a teacher?
What have learned will impact they way I view technology in the classroom. Technology is a very powerful tool and we must prepare our students on how to use it and use it well. Must stay current on the lingo and know the technology terms that our students are referring to.

Keep exploring, learning, and seeking knowledge to fulfill my personal goal to be a lifelong leaner.

When creatig a blog and commenting on blog, it is very crucial that you invite comments and as questions so that your followers feel a sense of connection with you.

Thing 21
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Oh my gosh!! This is the coolest thing that we have done on the 23 things. I could definitely see myself using this tool as a end of the year slideshow of all the things that we have done in the class. If there is nothing else I use from this class which seriously doubt, I will be using animoto many, many more times.
Thing 20
Create a blog post about your experience. What did you like or dislike about the site and why did you choose the video that you did? Can you see any features or components of the site that might be interesting if they were applied to your library website?
I loved this website. It has a variety of videos that can give ou very informative information. I did not like how people could put videos on there that were rather vulgar. The video that I chose was one that would be inspirational to my students.Some of the students are ready to give up so easily and this video would be played to keep the on track. I could also see may components this site applied to our library website.

Thing 19
Are you a member of any online communities?
Yes, I am currently a member of facebook and teacherpop.
Are any of these social networks appealing to you?
The only social network that appealed to me was teacherpop. This one appealed to me because I am always seeking ways from my peers to help me improve student achievement. I didn't like any others and one other reason is that these social networks can consume ALOT of your time. They are addictive.
