I am feeling much more prepared for all that is out there in Web 2.0 land. I realize that I need to continue to find time to explore and play with all of the new tools. Teaching myself how to use many of them for our final project was exasperating - but I kept reminding myself that I would get through it. And I certainly learned more useful skills than I ever did writing a paper!
I knew before I started the course that I was somewhere in the middle range of techy people. I don't know if I'll ever be geeky enough to bypass others - but I'll keep tryng. I actually feel quite accomplished. I can't wait to show all of my new skills off at work in September!
I've used wikis and blogs before, but I think he most useful tool for our high school right now would be Livebinder. The binder I created for Ancient Greece on my wiki is for a Global class in the fall. I plan to make more for the other Golden Age civilizations.
I'll also continue to work with all of the Google Tools. Tough I was disappointed - Google Presentation kept getting stuck and delivering service errors. I'm wondering if it's my laptop. I'll try it again from a different computer. But Google Forms, Docs, & Scholar are way on the top of my list. Plus they're all free and not blocked by our district!!!
Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone. Class was great!
