Working on this segment brought back to me some important rules and skills that I had forgotten about. I was able to focus on my time management skills, and in this quest, found my weakness of not setting goals, so I was able to focus on goal setting in my teaching and learning. Creating the mindmap was a challenge for me because I had not used the software in quite a while, but it was fun and I intend to implement this in more of my own lessons. The appearance quest was engaging and I found lots of new ideas about how to engage and organize and the web tools quest gave me some great new ideas and allowed me to go back and look at some older tools that I have not used lately. Using the Web 2.0 to differentiate instruction and assessment were interesting quests and reinforced some of what I have been doing with my students, in addition to giving me some new insights into how they can be used. Of course the open resources and creative commons were beneficial because I really did not know about the quality of the resources before this quest. I had not used the checklists for the Fair Use and Teach Act and plan to print these out and use them often to protect myself. I completely enjoyed the last three activities, especially building the learning objects - that is a challenge that I enjoy and really get involved in. This was a great quest with much of the online frameworks built into it.
