New Victim
So the newest victim to fall to the 23 things is Branka!
Yes, it is true, Branka had heard that there were many useful things to be learned and to share from others that have been doing 23 things. She decided that it would be worth her while to sign up and to learn 23 things. Way ta go Branka!!

Reflection of 23 things
Well now 23 things sharing information I am sure that there are far more than 23 things that I should know. However, the 23 things have opened my eyes and thoughts to what is out there. Perhaps, more importantly it has given me some tools to find others that will be able to help me with finding ways to do this.
It will enable me to stay in contact with all those in 23 things and new found contacts that are interested in the same things that I am.
Although, there are a few things that I will probably not use again, there were far more things that I will use for a long time to come.
Thank you Jennie for organizing this course, it was eye opening.

4 C's
The old three R's vs the new four C's.
Connections, Context, Complexity and Connotations are all important and I agree with that, but do they replace the three R's NO WAY, I do not agree with that. Those individuals that are able to use the four C's, will already have a firm grasp of the three R's. Otherwise they would not be capable of using the four C's never mind spelling them.
Yes, I agree that we are on the verge of huge change and it is hard to believe that my students do not know what life is like without the internet, that is crazy, but true. However, when my students ask about friends on Facebook and how many, when I hear that someone has 300 friends never mind 900, that is crazy, and to me is just ego boosting, as how many of those 900 could tell you who this person is, really?
The student that used Facebook to study with is also fine with me, but the student that uses it to pass answers is not.
Does education need to change, sure do I have the answer no.

We are so much cooler online
So I thought I would add this video, the song 'Online' by Brad Paisley. As we are communicating online, one must think twice about who we are really communicating with and why?

Old dudes vs Tech
Although 23 things is all about the advancement of tech and communicating I thought that this was worthy of posting.

Add Ons
So the add on tools that I added were:
Funky Music
Download Helper
FireShot
AnyColor
Fision and All in One Sidebar
Funky Music I got rid of very quickly as it was not what I thought it would be.
Download helper I have found to be the best help. Well outside of FireShot which I have had to use for 23 things often.
cheers

Picasa 3
What can I do with Picasa 3?
Create a collage, use blog this, which will directly upload pictures to your blog. However, it will only directly upload the pictures and it would seem that it limits the number of pictures or perhaps and more likely only upload a certain size.
Lastly as we all know now it can create a slide show.
