# 9 Library Related Blogs and News Feeds

When working on number 9-Library Related blogs and News feeds,I found it a little boring.I did enjoy the Super Glu site.Pictures can make a big real difference when added to a blog.I enjoyed looking at the different news feeds,being that I am a news junkie.
I looked at Syndic8 and technorati and found these a little hard to understand.This site was not one of my favorites,but maybe I need to relook at it again sometime.One thing I do know is that it is amazing to have all this information available.

Thing # 23

This feeling of finishing this project feels surreal and exciting! When I began on this journey,I had absolutely no idea of where it was going to take me. I now have lots more grey hair and have spent at least fifty hours working on 23 things.I will say I have learned so very much and I am actually very proud of myself that I have completed this task.This must be how a student feels in the classroom.I am ready to use these tools in my classroom.I now feel more up to speed in the technology world.
Some of the programs I loved were wiki,photo story, newsfeed and so much more!I now have been reading blogs and communicating with them.I started out with the feeling of truly "Lost in Technolgy",but the connotative meeting for me has changed I am truly lost in technology in the sense of now loving my computer, and all the great sites this has taught me to use.

Thing # 22 Nings

When I got on this site Ning for teachers,It felt like teacher meetings online.This is where all teachers can get on this site and collaborate.They are discussing many interests of topic that will help them in the classroom.On Ning there are people who shared their booklist with everyone.These are the books this teacher teaches in middleschool.They also shared ideas with people who are new in the teaching field.I wish they would have had this site fifteen years ago for me when I was green!
Ning allows tremendous teacher collaboration with the world around us!! Great STUFF. I will be back!!
