My Final "23 Things" Post

Well, I am at the end of my "23 Things" journey & am amazed at everything I have learned.  I knew about a few of the "things," but most of the "things" I had only heard about.  I was afraid to learn about a couple of them, because I was sure I would be too confused to figure it out.  It was at those times that I was so grateful we were doing this project together and that others were wokring on the same things I was, because I could go to one of my "23 Things" counterparts & they could help me...a huge thank you to Charlie Wiggins for helping me with RSS Feeds & to Nancy for helping me with EVERYTHING!  I even learned a few things that weren't on our list (my favorite extra is my Voki).

At times I felt overwhelmed, especially when I was having to write papers for grad school which I hadn't done in YEARS - it was then that I got a little behind.  Then, when I was having to send letters to every parent in the school about service hours & the All-School Retreat  - I unfortunately got a little more behind.  Then, when service was due & I had to send out more letters to parents of kids with deficiencies - I got even more behind (I won't even mention teaching or cheerleading).  I was afraid I might never get it all done.  Finally, I am now caught up (thanks for the extension!!!), and am in love with the things I have discovered.  Overall, it was worth the time spent & I am now much more confident in my web endeavors!

A huge THANKS to Nancy for bringing us this amazing opportunity & for being there to cheer us all on...and to Perry for providing us with some extra incentive.  The journey was well worth it!!

Jenny, you have made the most out of this experience. You looked at things I would never have considered. Thanks for enlightening me. I'm doing virtual cartwheels to celebrate your completion of the Things. Now you must go forth and help to multiply the number of Web 2.0 folks.
