Why are you participating in 23 Things? What do you hope to learn? What new insights did you have during Thing 1? How does writing on the Internet, knowing anyone could read it, change how you write or feel about writing?
I have begun working through the technology training offered by 23 things.  Creating this blog is part of the 2nd task I am given.
Our students lives are saturated with technology. Although it is challenging the reward of centering our curriculum around technology is intriguing. Students would love it! The first two things of the program do a good job explaining and introducing the relevance of taking the time to create more lessons that are just as saturated with technology as the learners everyday lives.
One of the most difficult things to deal with when opening up our learners to the technology available to them is the public availability of the things they read and write.  A broader audience and less privacy can lead to challenges that we have to be aware of and attempt to be proactive rather than reactive.  It adds a dynamic to our lesson planning that MUST be tackled prior to lesson implementation.  I look forward to working toward this.
