Finally finished!
Well, I am happy to say that I have now completed all 24 Things even if I didn't do it before August 13. I'm really glad I stuck to it and have found several "things" I will definitely use again. Thanks to Shirley and Jen for offering it to us and for the words of encouragement. I would be willing to keep going if there is ever more.
Still catching up
Thing #39 Animoto
I'm so glad I went back and did this one! It is really alot of fun. I made a video of my daughter and her friends at the prom this past May. It really turned out cute even though I had some difficulty importing it to my blog. I can't wait to do more!
Thing # 45 Flow Charts
I signed up for this and received an invitation to join. Made a mini test chart about nothing really just to see how it worked. I think this would really be useful as an educational tool when you just can't find what you're looking for anywhere else. You could just make your own chart!

Catching up
Thing #36 PicNik
Had alot of fun dressing up my photos! I played around with colors, resizing, cropping and some other features. I made a before and after picture of my son, Tried to upload them to my blog, but I kept getting an internal error message.

Catching up
I have now gotten to the end of the 23 things, but I am going back to catch up on a few I skipped.
Thing #32 OmniDrive
I have never been able to get this one to work. I was unable to link to it a few weeks ago when I first tried, so I skipped it to come back to later. Just tried it again and I still cannot link to the site. Did anyone successfully complete this one?

Jott.com
Thing #44 Jott.com
Well, I set up the free account with Jott.com and recorded of couple of notes to myself. I can see where this would be useful since I entered my school email address and that's where I'm about to be most of the time. I could try entering doctor and dentist appointments outside of school and since the reminders would come to my school email, maybe I would remember them!

Google Groups and Midi File
Things #42 and 43
Thing 42 - Google groups - I searched here for language arts groups -- felt a bit overwhelmed at what all came up. I looked around a few of them, but have to admit, it was just too much for me to sort through.
Thing 43 - Midi file - had fun playing around with this. Worked on my own version of "Here Comes the Sun" one of my favorite Beatles tunes. Can't see that I would ever use this, but someone teaching music or really interested in music could find this useful.
