My comments on Pandora and Friv
I currently have Pandora running while I do my work and in the few minutes I have been listening, every artist that has played have been some of my favorites, although I only typed in one of them. What a great mind-reader! I also have enjoyed experimenting with some of the games on Friv.com. There are tons of different games on there and they are all free! What a rare thing to find in the game world.

reflection.
Wow, I think this has been the most intense 2 weeks I've experienced in a long time. I have learned how to do so many things. I will admit, it was frustruating and time-consuming, and most likely the frustruation was from the time consumption, not the doing of the activities. There were many nights I would spend "doodling" with the new websites I was exploring and before I knew it I had stayed up till midnight (and the alarm goes off at 4:45 am for school....yuk!). Although it was intense, I gained a lot from the experience and much of what I learned will be directly useful in my classroom. I promise to stay on top of new technologies and to try to refresh my learning frequently once I finish my studies at APSU. Technology is such a great tool to use and so much of it makes the learning more fun and the kids don't know they are actually learning.

Creative Commons.
The Learning 2.0 23 Things blog shows that it is based on someone else's work and modified from the original by finding a few different things. First, you can plainly see the little cc sign at the bottom of the page. It also comes out and says, "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License." Thirdly, there is a list of credits on the lowest right hand corner of the page giving credit to the two programs the Learning 2.0 program is based from. Knowing the information about Creative Commons will help me be more careful when using other people's work and to be more drawn to making use of Creative Commons licensing.

Thing #22.
Podcasts.
I chose to listen to the Eating Well Podcast. I found it after searching through all the directories provided on the assignment page. I honestly can't remember which one had the link to the Eating Well podcast. I have also subscribed to the podcast linking it to my Google Reader account and I have added the blogs of the Eating Well Podcast creators to my Blogger page. It is very well done and informational. Plus, it could be useful in my Nutrition and Foods Classes. Some of the most recent podcast tackle issues like portion control, carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the diet.
