My "First" Post

This the first real post in my quest of "23 Things". I'm glad that I did it out of order because my perspective has changed greatly about this assignment. I thought it wouldn't be difficult to do these 23 things because I "already know it" but man, was I wrong. After having a day in my office with no teachers on the schedule and very few interruptions, I should be relaxed and ready to go home. Instead, I'm tense and excited because I've learned something entirely new to me (Voicethread) and shown it to a teacher with positive comments and a willingness to have her students use it and post to it in class. I've played with Wordle previously and have a teacher who uses it with her students. They do character descriptions in that format. Her students make lists of words to describe a particular character, then enter them in Wordle and adjust the color schemes to reflect the mood or tone of the character. Way kewl stuff.
