Thing #4

Commenting was kinda fun. Reading what everytone posted and learning about them. Since we have such a small class I am really going to try to keep up with commenting on new blogs that are posted. I just have this horrible habit of having the best intentions when starting something and being really upbeat about it and then a few weeks later I am like "ehhh I can totally do this later" and it doesn't ever get finished. I've been really trying to work on that, but since we have such a small class I think I can do it.

I have commented on these from our class:
Kelly Brown since she has also be affected by breast cancer in her family
Heidi Burn because I though her avatar was cute with her baby girl in it
Tiffany Alemand was one of the first people to post a blog
Alexis Clemens because I agreed with her about pajamas and bunny slippers
Michelle Burkhart since her avatar reminded me of a day with my out of town best friend

I have commented on these two from out of class:
I found Traveling Chemist in Blogs of Note. This blog reminded me of a trip to my sister's house in Texas when the A/C broke

I found Roseanna's Table Talk in Blog of note as well. They had contest that sounded off to me...a table setting contest. She posted pictures and the table looked incredible and so creative.

Using a blog as a teacher sounds like such a fun and helpful thing. With a blog I can communicate with different teachers and get ideas about ways to help teach my students. Also I can share stories about how different things I have tried in my classroom were successful or need some work. This can be great communication tool with the parent of my students. They can look at my blog and see what I am doing in my classroom and hopefully come visit and participate with their child.

Thing #2

Making my avatar was pretty fun. With all of the things that you can put on them the possibilities were endless. I thought that picking out the clothes was the best part since some of those were ridiculous. With the avatar you can use your imagination so much. I had a really fun time with the masks you can use. With my avatar I wanted her to be as much life me as i could get her. I included the monkey because I have loved monkeys since I was a junior in high school. I always thought that they were so cute. The background I choose reminded me of my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend. We drove all the way down to Pensacloa, Florida and spent the night on the beach in a tent. I thought it was amazing to unzip the tent and see this beautiful sunrise on the ocean full of so many colors.

Thing #1

I thought that the lifelong learning was very informative. My easist habit is habit number 6. When I have a problem or am in need of help to do something I turn to technology as a resource. It is so easy to use and access that it is the best starting place to answer a question or overcome a problem. The habit that I find the hardest is number 3. When I am presented with a problem in the beginning I am confident that i can overcome it. After time I would begin to get frustrated and give up. I have been trying to work on since I want to become a teacher and that is an important quality to possess.
