This has been a great adventure! I have loved the format of independent, on-line learning outside the classroom environment, typical of the 21st century learner. I'm excited to continue to learn about and use these tools and resources, both personally and professionally. Some of my favorites that I can use are:
the experience of blogging and social network capabilities, www.boingboing.net
some of the mashups like www.krazydad.com/fungames.php , http://bighughlabs.com/flickr/deck.php , FD Toys (same URL), www.imagechef.com
I also enjoyed learning about new resources for students including the Learning2.0 and Library 2.0 tools, wikis and widgets, and web-based applications! I especially liked Zoho,think it's a great resource for students who may not have access to expensive software and loved the flexibility of online publishing and collaboration. http://zoho.com . I'm excited to try podcasting with kids and loved the resource Beginner's Guide to Podcasts and Creating Podcasts.
My only thought for improvement would be to have all of the assignments at the beginning of the course so that students could decide where and when to spend time in areas of interest. I would definitely take another class like this!!!! :)
