Often people (students and teachers alike) are surprised when I declare that I'm comfortable with technology. Maybe it's because I'm old. Well, not that old, but we Boomers sometimes get a "bad rap" when since we're not as tech-savvy as our younger counterparts. It's not that we're not smart enough to comprehend it all. It's just that we may not be interested. Just like what I hear from students: "make it fun and we'll do the work."
Which is what happened in this class. Of course, not all people will like all parts of what is presented, but this course"23 Things" was a really fun way to expand my repertoire of useful technical tools found on the Internet. Since I have my degree in English, my favorite tool was Library Thing. I would have my own classes create an account in the first week and periodically follow it, discovering new books to read. Also, Susan showed me the merits of Delicious.com, so that's another application I would use.
Knowledge is power and I love to learn new things. Besides, I like to shock kids with what an "old" person knows . I would love to take another class like this and discover new applications to furthur enhance my educational journey.
