Without a beginning, there is nothing to worry about the end.

It's been a fun journey, hasn't it? Haha, but that almost sounds like good-bye doesn't it? Well it's not. Just a final reflection, but not a good-bye. It was great to discover so many new parts of the internet. As someone who's grown up with computers, it's easy to think I already know it all. Been, there, done that. But that wasn't the case at all. I really enjoyed pushing the boundaries, having fun on Flickr, Animoto, and making an online calender. I think the 23 things has really forced me to expand my mind on how the internet can be used and that no matter how often I look, there will always be new things on the internet for me to use and explore. I was pleasantly surprised by the program, especially how up to date it is. It's good to see current and experience teachers taking such a large interesting in technology. It's really changed the way I thought of showing new concepts to my students. English classes don't always have to be about reading from old dusty books in quiet classrooms. There are so many ways to combine books and technology in the classroom, to make it more engaging for students and for teachers as well. I think I'll keep up to date with it by using my rss feeds and just checking in on my blog every so often~ The only improvement I can really think of is just to continue to update it~ Just like the 23 things tells us to look for new ways to use technology, the 23 things should do the same as well~! Take care~!
