Is This the End or Only the Begining

          I found that in completing the 23 Things for Austin Peay’s Education 3040 class, I have expanded my knowledge of being a teacher. I have discovered many ways to create fun and interesting activities and lessons for my future students. My favorite activities have to be the interactive PowerPoint and the Podcast. I enjoyed these because they taught me things I never knew I could do for my classroom.

          This program has really affected my lifelong learning goals because I will forever have tools and ideas to help connect with our technology center students and to keep school fun and different. There were some things however (like the wiki) that I feel would be unhelpful in my future career.

         This class has taught me that there are hundreds of different ways to teach any topic. School lessons can be interactive, fun, and different every day and all you have to do is know how to use your tools that are available all over the web.

          I see this blog remaining very important to me. Whether I want to refresh and review my tools or if I want to share my knowledge with others, I will always have access to a helpful resource. I really plan to continue using technology in my classroom and to continuously find new things to introduce to my students.

Thing #23: Creative Commons

•Find an example or attribution that shows the Learning 2.0-23Things for Teachers blog was based on someone else's work and modified from its original.
•Now that you know about Creative Commons licensing, how will you use it in the future as a teacher?


This blog states on the 23 Things pages that:

"*Note: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006)."

As a teacher I will have to be very aware of the rules on using certain pieces. I will also be sure to site and give credit to those who own or create things I use or modify.

Thing #22: LiveBinders

**Create a blog post that tells:
•What are the titles of your binders?
•Embed one of your binders in your post. Click on the Options button under the binder you have selected to share, and then click on Embed. Copy the code and paste it into your blog post.
•Discuss how you might use LiveBinders in the classroom, including possible lesson ideas for students.

Math

The titles of my binders are Math, Tennessee Teachers, and Educational Technology.

I would use LiveBinders to put together sites that i want to use in certain subjects and lessons. These can be embedded and made public so that students can also go back and easily find the sites you used in the classroom.
