24?!?!? What the......!?
Final Here. Took awhile. Lots of seeking and finding. Surfing and Lurking around the greatest applications on the internet. I can honestly say, "This course has changed my life". The way I share, create, and contribute to my personal and professional life has forever changed. I feel like I have finally been plugged into the matrix. Funny thing is: I know the journey has just begun.
What a great exercise. I feel like I'm ready to go out and start learning. If, and when I do have anything worthy of contribution Dr. Jerles has given me the tools to do it well. (A little brown nose never hurts, if you sit on the A-B fence line) What a great instructor and he always......O.K., that's enough. Cool thing Dr. Jerles taught us is, if you leverage technology correctly; a lot of what you do only has to be done ONCE! Yea!! And where does the remainder of your time go....to the students, of course. Enjoyed the instructor's focused time, the class, and everyone in it. Thanks -Clinton

Creative Commons
Knowing and understanding how creative property is legally protected is half the battle. Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of people out there, who don't know any better and due to that ignorance are at risk of stealing someone else's work. Confirming your ignorance is hard, especially if you are receiving royalties from someone else's work. You can go to jail. Not to mention the more simple ethics violations. You certainly don't want students questioning your intentions. If that is your example, what do you think they will do later in life?
In the classroom and in my personal life, I intend to use Creative Commons to protect myself and my property from being taken advantage of. I am much smarter now than before concerning the need to make genuine efforts to accredit the authorship of materials. Mostly to protect my creditability, but also any financial earnings I may see in the future from works I may produce. Good Luck!!! 23 Things Done, Fun, and I Learned a lot. Thanks Everyone! Clinton (I know: there is one more thing//see you in a minute)

This is one of my twins with an on-the-spot, impromptu rap around Christmas last year. She did not rehearse.
I love YouTube. It can provide study material, entertainment, or a place to share family videos.
I take full advantage of the site. I subscribe to interesting topics (news, education, funny) that pique my interest and in my leisure time go and find what might be newly posted.
Feel free to check out my site: http://www.youtube.com/user/cboydu
If you do...I recommend "The Muppets are Back" video. Great interpretive works of 6 year-olds ever get boring!
Thanks -Clinton

Here is the link to a Binder a Made for future studies on the Pre-Revolutionary Period of American History.

Here is a link to another US History Binder I found to assist in studying and creating classroom material to assist with teachering.
WOW!!!! I am blown away by this application. The accumulation of materials and all their applicability to the field of teaching is genuinely limitless. The applications in the classroom are limitless. Text, video, pictures, lessons, activities....all of it is here. Complied by the experts, and often the most organized people in the field. I LOVE Love Binder. I can not believe this stuff is FREE! There is literally hundreds/thousands of hours of work in each binder. RELIABLE RESOURCES!!! You know immediately where the material was derived. Most often than not, the links are provided to where the information came from. This is truly unbelievable. I will without a doubt spend a good but of my leisure/research time in Live Binder. Thanks for introducing it. This should, without a doubt, be THING #1.

Journey
Here is the Animoto video I made.
Unfortunately, the wifi signal I am currently using is not allowing me to access any of my photos at Flickr or Facebook; so, I decided to use their standard shots on their sight. Beautiful photos though. I still rather enjoyed the process. The means to create wonderful products are becoming more easily accessible. I will more than likely use this to create videos and slideshows for my family at first. It will be an easy transition into he classroom. For anyone looking forward to my photos; here is an "action shot" of me playing Disc Golf. Thanks -Clinton

Just wanted to add an Image.
Technology: the less you pay attention now,
the harder it will be to catch up later.
And, you will have to catch up!
TeacherPop and Ning Classroom 2.0 were the first two online communities I had become a member of; other than Facebook and Twitter. Which I would title more of social media in general, since a community has common culture are goals. Well, that could be debated also. I mean; a community of teachers are all going to be focused on learning and teaching. That's what I'm focused on; becoming a member of the teaching community.
I really like the Classroom 2.0 network. It is surely a resource I will continue to reference. Teachers are attempting to stay on the fore front of social media; that's where students spend most of their time. Teachers can impact students through these outlets, and the technology will change as fast as we learn how to use it. We will certainly have to collaborate, as a community, to stay on pace with these creative children. This is probably the network I will reference most as I attempt to keep up with the dynamic landscape of technology in the classroom. Thanks -Clinton

Love both of these social media outlets. I have used them both for years. I am not much of a "poster", but I do follow my friends fairly closely.
Twitter, in the recent months has become more useful to me as I have chosen to follow more professional and educational people and sites. I've found it extremely easy to find creditable sources and follow the latest and greatest information on subjects of interest with little to no research time. There are so many people out there, working hard to publish great information on virtually every topic imaginable. There is no excuse for being uninformed anymore.
I Enjoyed exploring this exercise. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything: cool tricks or tips on how to better use. I can say, "I've got the basics of both down fairly well".
Thanks -Clinton
