Is it the End... or Only the Beginning?!

I learned so much through these 23 things. One of the most valuable things I learned is how to have all of the things you need all on one type of website. Mine is Google. This website is not only a search engine, but really so much more. I now can continue to blog under a different name, add people to my Google Plus, and even check the weather. I can do all this from the same website. I find that quite amazing. By completing these 23 things I mostly feel relieved. Like I do with most semester long projects, I procrastinated until the tail end. I feel like it would be easy to keep up with this 23 things if it was strictly enforced that one be due every week or two. I also believe there is a lot of repetition in each of the explanations for how to do the 'things'. Sometimes I didn't even want to get started because there was so much reading just to figure out that I would be doing something I already knew how to do.
As a future educator I find almost all of these sites to be wonderful to know for my future students. In the next few years when I become a teacher the students may be almost more progressive in technology than myself, but now I am ready to take on the challenge. Going through each of these things was fairly difficult for me because I don't usually do much on the internet, or even with computers. I have always just stuck to the basics. It is very difficult for me to figure out exactly how to navigate some sites. This may be due to the fact that the websites I do use are basic. I have had a Facebook, Twitter, and Photobucket for years now and those sites are pretty point blank.
