As a whole I thought this program was a great idea. Many of the suggestions for the Things I had heard about already or even used, but it was opportunity for me to explore them a little more and see how I might share them with staff and students this next school year. I also appreciate all the little tips and videos that were included with many of the apps. I will be referring to many of these yet this summer. The 23 things at first seemed like a lot to dive into, but at the same time you covered all of the major areas when we think of using mobile devices. I know I had started strong earlier this spring, but it took me the first week of summer vacation to really get going on trying all of these apps. I know many people don't like deadlines, but for me having a deadline to finish so many apps (like the first 5, 10 etc...) by would have pushed me to finish this earlier. Getting me to start blogging was a big bonus of this program as well! A little more interaction with others participating might have been nice as well.
I would love to participate in this program again. Participating in events like these encourage me to try things that I have put as a low priority (though they should not be) and get me thinking about how to integrate technology in the classroom in a meaningful way! The ideas for integrating these apps are percolating right now and I am excited to share/use many of them this fall! Thanks for creating use a fun and useful 23 Mobile Things event!
