Is It the End or Only the Beginning?

• What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
• I LOVED the "thing" where we could create words using snapshots from flickr.  That was super cool and I plan on using that as often as I can for PowerPoints and lesson plans in the classroom.

• How has this program affected your lifelong learning goals?
• This has really opened my eyes to just how much the web can help me as a teacher.  I knew the web was a fun place to kill time (hello! Facebook!), but it really has become a valuable resource for teachers. 

• Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
• Again, just the wealth of resources out there for helping teachers to do their jobs easier. For example, LiveBinder. How cool is that site?!? Pretty awesome!!

• What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
• I wish there was a way we could have just signed up once for everything instead of signing up for each site on its own. I realize that is probably impossible, but other than having to create an account for everything, I thought this exercise was really fun!

• How will what you have learned influence your practice as a teacher?
• I am not sure other than I have my blog and Dr. Wall's blog saved in my favorites so that when I do become a teacher, I will have all these web resources at my fingertips when needed.  

• How do you plan to keep up with new developments in web 2.0? Recommend a way that you have found to be useful.
• I have a Google alert for some topics so that I can easily find blogs and articles related to ideas for future lesson plans.
