Thing 22 - What Did I Learn Today?

Probably the best way for me to keep up with the available Web 2.0 tools is to set a time at work and home each week to explore. I found out that using my lunch time does not work. So, I would schedule a block in my calendar each week to work on 23 Things on a Stick. I found the time that I spent watching a sporting event or news on the weekend could be utilized by multi-tasking this viewing with working on this project. I will need to continue these practices to keep up with the available web applications.
I believe that my role within the school district will assist me in staying committed to this exploration. By supervising the media specialists, I will need to guide the group to available tools. By supervising the district support staff, I will need to work with the staff in ensuring the needed tools are available for staff. I also began presenting one Web 2.0 application at each curriculum team meeting. I believe that it is essential that we have our curriculum leaders in the know when it comes to available and emerging Web 2.0 applications.
I suspect that it will take a little more time to explore Web 2.0 tools once I have completed 23 Things on a Stick. The layout and format of this project has made it very easy for participants to move though the project.
