Some of my favorite exercises were the ones using photos. I love creativity when it comes to educations, and I know students tend to be more interested when visuals and hand-on activities are involved.
This program has shaped the way I think about technology in regards to using it for educational purposes rather than for entertainment purposes. Times are changing, and students need to know the ins and outs of the world wide web and other electronic devices.
In the beginning, the habits of learning really got me to evaluate my mind and the way I look at education. Not everything will be perfect, some teachers will mark one paper an A and to another teacher it may be worth a D. You can't please everyone, but you can do your best.
Some parts of the 23 things seem to be redundant. Maybe they can come up with a test to take on the 23 things, and whatever parts are passed then the student can disregard those when writing their blog.
Since my classroom will hopefully be more advanced in technology then the classroom of my high school days, I plan to incorporate it more, but only when necessary. The Internet can be distracting to students, especially for high school seniors.
I plan on keeping this blog for future use. Right now as a college student, my time is limited. When I do have free time, I am usually napping or going for a jog. Blogging is not in my list of top hobbies because when I do have thoughts that are personal on a subject, I tend to keep them to myself. I do not like my business being shouted out to anyone, especially not over the Internet. As an adult, with a stable job and a more routine day, I can possibly work blogging into my time, and I can definitely incorporate it in my classroom as a teacher.
