Final Final Thoughts

I hate sounding repetitive. As I stated last week, I think this was one of the more useful courses in this master's program. Things I can use in the classroom as well as in my personal life:
- I love Flickr as a way for others to enjoy my photography which has become a great stress relieving outlet for me.
- Delicious will be great for me as an elementary teacher to bookmark sites that my kids can use. It takes a long time for kids to find sites that are useful and readable for them and we have limited time on the computers so this will help in both ways.
- I am still thinking about making the suggestion to the head of our English department about setting up a ning or wiki for each grade level to use for ideas and issues with the new reading series. A place where we can present plans that worked or didn't work.
- I find myself, even with little time, checking the Twitter site each day just because it is fun to see what is going on with people outside of work.
- Google Reader is a great way for me to check on some really interesting blogs on photography that I found. I love to see what others are taking pictures of.

I also enjoyed looking at all the other Web2.0 tools that are out there. I was quite overwhelmed by the number of them in so many categories. The other amazing thing is that number is growing every day.
