Coloring online is a Blast!


I used www.coloring.com to paint this picture online. I think this website is awesome for creating colorful pictures online to share and decorate your website, classroom, binders, and of course to share on your blog. This website has various different pictures to choose from as well as an option for you to upload a picture that you have created on your own.

One Last Thing to Reflect On..........

Reflections
Completing the web 2.0 tools 23 Things was an enlightening experience. I have to say that my favorite discovery of this journey is RSS Feeds.  I discovered some incredible things like Google Reader that I read daily since I have subscribed to many interesting education and technology websites and blogs. I was tickled pink when I discovered that my Yahoo account connected me to Flickr, which connected to my Blogger blog and Facebook account that makes sharing information easy. Zoho writer was another awesome discovery that I plan to use to create documents that are accessible from any computer with Internet connection. During my journey I also discovered a website called Teacherlingo and that is where I found mybrainshark.com where I created my podcast.
This program has opened the door for me to continue learning about new technologies to last me for a life time. It has provided me with the knowledge to seek for ways to incorporate technology in my classroom. I was surprised at the amount of resources that this program had to offer. I certainly was not expecting to learn as much about web 2.0 tools as I have learned by completing the 23 Things. I think some of the technology assignments can be introduced with the Thing that is it similar to. For example when discovering podcast in the 23 Things that can go hand and hand with creating a podcast. I found that the Facebook and Myspace discovery matched the social websites discovery which made those things overlap. Other than that, learning about web 2.0-23 Things is the most essential part of becoming a teacher. I feel like this program has prepared me for teaching in a 21st century classroom. I will use what I have learned from this program to keep my students engaged and learning and to think outside of the textbook. I plan to continue to read my RSS Feeds from the websites and blogs I have found as well as continue searching for others. I have found that there is a never ending outlet of resources on the web. As I continue in my teaching career I hope to be apart of a future educational technological discovery.
