I have kind of found myself not wanting to stop working on this project.  It's started to become really fun.  I'm kind of terrified by the fact that I actually posted poems that I wrote over 10 years ago on a website for God knows who all to see.  

This project is reminding me how much I love books.  I could sit on Goodreads and update my bookshelf all day.  I could sit on Youtube and watch random videos I find about authors and books and writing all day.  Would it be wrong to take tomorrow off work and do more with this project??  Probably, but it would be kind of fun.

I decided over the next week or so it takes me finish this assignment I would create a blog to go with it, chronicalling my feelings towards the assignment as a whole and the challenges I've encountered.

This project has been kind of a roller coaster.  I'm pretty happy with what I've created so far though I have a ways to go.  I would say the biggest challenge has been trying to become familiar with all the different media forms.  I went through quite a few before settling on Weebly to create this site. So far it's been a pretty good experience though I doubt I will utilize this site to it's fullest.  There are SO many useful tools out there!  This really is a good assignment.  In addition to a large amount of soul searching that was done in creating the content for this site, becoming familiar with the tools that are out there and available to use in a classroom is really invaluable.  First I started using Prezi.  I decided what I was trying to do would fit best in a site like Weebly which is why I ultimately chose it, but Prezi is awesome!  It would be great and so fun to use for presentations.  I had a great time looking through example Prezis that were posted and I highly recommend taken a stroll through their website and checking them out!

Well, it's about time for me to do a bit more exploration out here on the Wide World Web!  I think I'll try and tackle Wordle :)
