Thing 2300: And I think to myself…

What a wonderful world! That reminds me of an old song. Let’s just stop for a minute and listen to Louis tell us about it:
Yes, it is wonderful, my friends. For a myriad of reasons, not the least of which is the growth we have achieved because of this Web 2.0 course. This course has given me a new respect for the Internet as an unlimited resource for educators. This course has fueled my enthusiasm for all things technological. Above all, this course has taught me to be bold and creative in the area of technology as I enter this new school year as a teacher of American Literature.
I feel as though it's the last night of summer camp. Tomorrow I will travel home with my parents and leave behind all my new friends. But I won't forget you and knowing that we can stay in touch via the vast Internet, eases my heavy heart a bit. "Be well, do good work, and keep in touch," as Garrison Keeler would say.

This is coming very late, but I also want to say thanks to you — it was a real joy to follow you on your journey through this course, which has been a labor of love (and a little frustration) to build and maintain. Teachers like you make it all worthwhile. I hope you have a great year.

I truly never remember a summer break that made me feel so fulfilled! I was nervous at first, but then relaxed and let the “things” take me where they could. Thanks for all your support & efforts!

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.

I just love the song. It keeps me from thinking negatively about life.

Indeed, what a wonderful world where we live in. Don’t waste time frowning or crying.
