1. My favorite tools are Image Generators & Mashups, Wikis and Digital Storytelling. I think it would be very cool to create a photo mashup throughout the school year. I would like to explore using digital storytelling for the students to write a story, identify main idea and details (of each photo and/or of the whole story).
2. There is no doubt that kids love technology and I'm a firm believer that students will learn more when they are enjoying learning. I believe it is important that learning keeps up with the technological advances of the world around us. I think it's great that there are tools out there like Google docs and Wikis, but I'm a little concerned about security.
3. Nothing really stands out as an "unexpected outcome" but I do feel much more confident in this world than I did before...but I need to use it to get better at it. I'd like to see some "support groups" or follow up sessions to keep things going. I'm hoping our team will use many of these tools to collaborate and share...I know they are all better at it :).
Congratulations - you made it! I'm so glad you feel more confident about these Web 2.0 tools and I'd be happy to help you and your students apply them all throughout the year in the library.
