My favorite thing was animoto, because it was a lot of fun and very creative. I also thought the livebinders were neat. It wasn't my favorite thing, but I feel like it will be useful in the future. In doing this project, I know that no matter how much time I spend online {which is a lot} there is always something new to learn and explore.
After graduating with my bachelors, I plan to go straight into a masters program. But afterwards, once I have a job, I might revamp this blog into a classroom blog. I think classroom blogs are great resources for new and upcoming teachers.
Overall, I call this project a success.

Thing 23: Creative Commons.
23 Things is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, which is based on the Learning 2.0 program designed by Helene Blowers - the Technology Director at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Country Public Library.
Knowing the copyright laws and creative commons is important for teachers, because we pull ideas from everywhere. Before this class, I was unaware of the laws and regulations about this, I just knew to site ALL of my resources in my papers. It will be very important in the future when making lesson plans and activities.

Thing 22: Livebinders.
Livebinders can be used in the classroom to keep online resources together and in one place. Teachers would find this very helpful when making lesson plans. Teachers could also create binder for students with practice resources if they are having trouble in a particular subject area. The binders I created are Teaching First Grade Math, Science Experiments for Elementary Students, and Homework Help.
Thing 21: Animoto.
Animoto is awesome. There really isn't much more to say, seriously, its just awesome. But, because I must explain my thoughts, I'll say more. It's super easy to use, and with the free membership, you can make an unlimited number for 30 second clips. The site has a bunch of background and song choices... or you can upload your own song. And the pictures? Yeah, you can pull them from virtually anywhere: facebook, flickr, instagram, photobucket, or upload from the computer. Conclusion: super easy fun website to use!
Make a video of your own at Animoto.
