By two favorite things are not related in a pure sense. I liked the Creative Commons section this has changed the way I will do my classes forever. The most fun I had was the Animoto exercise how cute that is I will enjoy sharing that with classes.
It really did not affect my life long learning goals it sure helped me tweak them. I at this stage of my life I want to keep learning and give back. I fought the corporate wars for years in a very high stress job the only thing that mattered was that days results yesterday was forgotten and tomorrow was not promised, to drive that point home the turnover rate was 30-40 percent a year. What this program has helped me do is learn how to organize and share my ideas and philanthropic goals with others of a like mind.
The biggest take a way was the amount of time i invested in the project. I worked hard on this I honestly believe it was too much in the condensed format of 1 session of Summer School. The surprise frankly was that I did work as hard as it took. I feel like the constraints of time prevented me form doing as much with the new things I was introduced to as I would have with a full quarter to complete the task
At the risk of repeating my self the Creative Commons open my eyes I work in smaller school systems some have smart boards some do not I feel that the info on the various ways to collaborate will help me and the others on the faculty as well. As for the classroom the reason I took Educational Technology was to learn how to be on the cutting edge of teaching with all the new technology that has been introduced since I left the classroom. I am a good communicator and speaker I needed to be able to share ideas and concepts in other ways. The collaboration method student to student fits that bill.
I will keep up with 2.0 by using: RSS, Tweeter and Google Alerts as well as You Tube for Educators and industry specific blogs.
