23 Things - Thing #23
I have really enjoyed this experience on Library2Play. At first, it was overwhelming, but now I truly do see the value in it. I have learned a lot of useful information for me both personally and to use in the classroom/library. One of my favorite tasks was creating the blog. I had fun with this, especially creating my own avatar. I also appreciated the chance to review Library Thing again. I had previously heard about it and had every intention of signing up. Thanks to this exercise, that's one I can check off my list. I also found Rollyo interesting. I know I will using it this school year.
Every exercise I worked through had its level of challenge. Some were easier than others, and I am actually still trying to upload my Photostory to Thing #21. That was difficult and still is, but I am working through it. I am not sure if it is a computer issue or human error, but I will go forth and conquer.
I think that going through this program and learning new things about technology and its capabilities has given me a thirst for more. I want to know what else there is, and I know there is probably a lot more to learn. If there was another opportunity to participate in something like this again, I think I would be very agreeable to it. Although time consuming, it is well worth it.
If I were to sum up this experience in one sentence, I would say: Library2Play is Web 2.0 at it's best, so take a chance and play.

23 Things - Thing #22
After exploring different Nings, I thought that the Ning for Teachers was the most user friendly. It was attractive and easy to search. I really liked the "Find Teachers" and "Sharing Lessons" features.
Ning seems to be a great concept for the classroom. I like the fact that you can keep it totally private and have the option to allow others on to your Ning by invitation only. I think a Ning has multiple uses for many different subjects. For Language Arts, it could be a community that discusses all the books read in one school year, or a place to share ideas for projects. The possibilities are numerous.
