I have learned so much over these past couple of weeks. My favorite activities had to do with the digital graphics pieces. I love digital graphics and just had a blast using the various sites that were included. This program has increased my learning goals by teaching me so many new things that I wasn't even aware of. I was also able to learn new things about the areas that I was already familiar with. I feel that I can now share this new learning with others, or participate in conversations that I was not able to before this program.
What surprised me the most about this program is how many of the "things" introduced items that I could implement immediately in my daily life at school. I feel that my department and the students will benefit from Nings, Wikis, the image generators, etc.
I found the program to be very user friendly. There were a couple of videos that were very dry though. I did however like the "...in plain English" videos. These truly helped me understand each of the topics quickly and easily.
Please let me know when there is another program like this in the future. I would JUMP at the chance to participate and learn new "things".
So, to sum up my summer experience with the "23 Things" I would have to say that this has been truly one of the best trainings I have had. Almost everything that I learned was incredibly relevant to me as a school improvement specialist in math and in my personal life.
