Week 9, Thing# 23

My first post started with a "Wow! I can't believe I just created a blog," and now I'm ending with a Wow! I can't believe I just finished all 23 things! I really enjoyed the discovery exercises. I'm glad thing #23 ended with "A Fair(y) Use Tale" video. Not only did I enjoy watching it, I also find the topic of copyright very interesting. Thanks to the discovery exercises I now have a better understanding of what a blog, a wiki, an image generator, an avatar, and a sandbox are, and better yet, I now have an idea of how to incorporate some of these in the library/classroom. I really hope more online training just like this one become available in the near future.

Week 9, Thing# 22

I think it is great that there are so many books, poems, and stories that we can read online. I've downloaded mainly short stories and poems. I've also had students listen to online stories. This year one of my teachers came with an old book of a story she wanted to read to her students but the book had one page missing. We found the missing page online. She was so happy when I printed the page for her.
