Week 9 – # 23 – Reflection

My favorite activities were the image generators, primarily because I hadn’t used these before. They were fun and creative. I think kids would love them. Do differently????? Some things appear repetitive, but that is just a personal take since I have used them before. Otherwise, I think you did a great job of putting together an immense number of web 2.0 tools. As for application….I would prefer to see an application that is more authentic. I don’t like to do things just for a class, especially in our profession. Learning is more effective when there is time allowed or insisted, to create something for use in their profession. I will be doing that this summer to improve on what I have found and decide the best format to use to help train staff and deliver some of our materials in a new and exciting format. I would participate again if there is something available to facilitate the promotion of my technology skills. This was a very comprehensive format and incredibly useful… Summing it up into one word or sentence. The best thing I can think of is the title of You Tube video I like…Shift Happens….If we don’t shift we become stagnant, stale, dry, and obsolete. The result of that is we will become like the 1940 books on the shelf, in need of weeding. And our district’s will weed us. So I say shift, shift, shift happily and heartily!
