Week 9 Thing 23

Well it is hard to know where to start here. It has been a great adventure. Most of the activities I found worthwhile and productive. Some just didn't do it for me. But the process was great. At first I wasn't sure about how to go about making the blog posts with the Week and Thing in it. It might be good to show a sample of putting the title with week and thing in one of the introductory activities.
After I got used to the format it was great. I enjoyed being able to post at anytime and have no defined time frame. This was good as some activities took lots of time and others did not require or acquire the same amount of time. It was very easy to get sidetracked and get involved in the activity exploration. It was also lots of fun for many of the activities. I also liked to be able to post about the activity immediately after completion or complete several activities and post. The book was a great addition to the class. It covered some areas and explained things in more depth and got into some philosophical things as well to make you think about some of the ideas or examples presented. They referred to many studies and provided lots of examples throughout the book. I liked the authors approach and even read more of the chapters than were required for this class.
We definitely covered a gamut of Web 2.0 tools. It was nice to have the option within an activity to do one or two things and the examples given were great. The curriculum connections were a good addition to the activities also. I think the time frame was reasonable as well. I was not so sure when I first started but as I got involved and started to complete some tasks it didn't seem so overwhelming. I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into when I first took a look at the requirements and activities needed to be completed within the alloted time.
I liked the responses from the instructors and fellow classmates. A community blog for questions and answers might be an interesting option within the class. I remember reading several people's blog where they asked questions and things like that or weren't sure if they were doing something right. I don't know just a thought.
I would be interested in another adventure of this type. Thanks for offering this class during the summer.
