My 23 Things journey was a long one. I learned all sorts of new things that I probably wouldn't have learned if it wasn't for this activity. My favorite exercise would probably be one of the last ones we did. Aminto was a fun exercise and I feel that I would use this one alot. It was simple and interesting. I am not going to lie when I first started these 23 Things I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did. Blogging is also very cool. I like sharing my different opinions and how may day went. All in all this was a great learning experience and if anyone tells me that they do not want to finish out their 23 Things I will most definitely tell them to do it. It did not take long and everything was extremely useful! Well I guess this is goodbye! Hopefully I will keep continuing to blog but if not it was super fun!
Bye :]

Thing #23
Last One!!
Creative Commons was not originally created at Austin Peay. It was adapted to the university to meet all the standards we must use. We also in Education 3040 had to creative a Creative Commons PowerPoint to show that we understood the concept of the way this works. This will be very helpful in the future in your classroom. It is very important that students know where the information they are looking up for research projects or anything like that came from and if it is copy righted or not. This way they will not be stealing anyone ideas and get in trouble for it.

Almost Done :]
Today I explored the wonderful world of online binders. The website is called Livebinders.com. This website allows you to have binders just like you would at school but they are all online. If your like me I use the Internet all the time! So having these binders online is very useful. I made 3 binders and each are labeled by the classes I am taking this year. Depending on what binder it is, is what I put in them. for example for my binder labeled Education 3040 I put in most of the websites that I use for that class. It is very convenient.
Using these binders in your classroom could be useful as well when it comes to different lesson plans you find online. You could label each binder a different subject and place the lesson plans that go with each subject in the binder.
The students could also use this online tool by keeping up with their research projects in a binder as well. It would be much easier than printing off all their information and it at the same time will save trees!

My experience with Aminto was kinda frustrating at first, one because I think my computer was being rather slow. After I got the hang of it I found it fun. I just used everything that was already given on the site. For example the pictures and music. I decided to go with the whole wedding theme since I am engaged. It was cute and simple. Only could be 30 seconds long but it was good enough. I would use this more if I could afford the subscription. Maybe one day in the future when I become a billionaire as a teacher I will be able to use it again. All in all a good website!

YouTube!
In the past I have used YouTube before. This website allows you to view videos pretty much about anything you would like to watch. Our assignment was to explore. I watched anything from pranks to recently updated news. I find it amazing how quick something can be put on YouTube. We were also suppose to post a link on a video that we would like to share. The video I am posting is very disturbing. It is a real life teacher I am assuming in another country seeing how he is speaking in a different language. A student is being a distraction in class and the teacher gets frustrated and actually throws an earser at the student and drills him in the head. I highly doubt that is anywhere from being legal. YouTube is wonderful :]

Thing #19
Hello!
Like I mentioned in the previous post I am not a huge fan of Twitter and that I wish there were other sites where you could do the same thing. On this activity we viewed many other social networking websites, for example I checked out the social network "Gather". This is a more mature website for adults to be able to network together and chat. On this you do not have to follow one every second or post something every second of the day in order to do this. It is all based off on your own time. If I had to choose one of the websites I would pick this one.

Twitter..blah blah blah
I always told myself that I would never set up a Twitter account. In one of my Education classes we were instructed to set up an account on Twitter and to follow a teacher. So I gave in because it was a class assignment and I set up a Twitter account. I chose to follow my sister who is an elementary school teacher. I think it is important to have social networking within the school so that teachers can share ideas and know whats going on with each other. I am not so much a fan of Twitter. I really just don't have the care to follow people around and know what they are doing every second of the day. I also don't feel the need to post what I am doing every second of the day as well. Like I said before though I do feel that it is important to have social networking within a school or schools. Maybe just something other than Twitter.
