I am participating in 23 Things because 23 is my favorite number. And because I want to earn the 2.0 SB-CEUs. But mostly to motivate myself to practice using these tools I have been introduced to and not just be aware that they are out there. I want to learn to become as proficient in using these tools as I do using email (which I love). I want to feel confident in teaching my teachers how to use these tools because more than ever, educators really need to make an effort to engage our students.
That is probably the insight I had while doing Thing 1, that I have to be motivated myself in order to motivate my students (and their teachers). If I can't learn to use all the fun tools available to us, then I can't expect others to.
I am very self concious of my spelling, which I know I do not do well. However, I notice I have spell check so I am happy about that. I have always dreamed of publishing something someday, so perhaps this will give me a start. Oh, great, I did a spell check but it only told me it was spelled wrong, and I knew that, but it did not give me a choice. So I am going to post this with it misspelled because the husband just came home with the food. (See the first post.)

You've probably heard about all of these tools in the last couple of years. But understanding how to use the tools really does require getting in there and getting hands-on experience. That's what 23 Things is designed to do and we're glad you're a part of it. (Is 23 REALLY your favorite number?)
Yes, 23 is really my favorite number.
