I have to say my favorite exercises involved Flickr and the image generators. I'm not much of a photographer but I love looking at photography so Flickr is right up me alley. I liked using Flickr mash ups and image generators although at times it was frustrating trying to get everything to work properly. I do not have an artsy bone in my body so by using these I get to be creative. Honestly if I had not done 23 Things, I would still be in the dark about some of the technology tools available. I now know that there are a multitude of tools available at the click of a button. I think the program is really well done; the only thing I was not crazy about was the class sections blogs and then the activities were listed down the side of the page. If that is the way it has to be done, it would be nice if the activities list was first. As a teacher, I plan to use some of the tools I learned about. All students should have a blog. I liked the idea of collaboration using the wikis. It is a terrific way to get students thinking and brainstorming together. I will keep up with new developments in web 2.0 by reading the blogs in my Google Reader.
