Thing #3

This blog can be used as way to record my personal thoughts while I continue my college career. Here I can write about my triumphs and my failures that as a place of somewhat permanence. In the classroom I can use a blog as a way of logging classroom activities in a public forum outside of school. That way parents and students who miss can know what we did that day. The blog can help parents stay involved in what there students are learning and sick students can keep up with what is done in class so they do not fall behind.

Thing #2

I decided to use my real name for posting, because I feel the internet is much safer than it was a few years ago. The internet as moved away from the era of necessary anonymity. Setting up the blog was a very experience for me. The interface of blogger is user friendly and easy to use. I believe that my avatar represents my personality and appearance rather well. I wanted it to represent me as accurately as possible.

Thing #1

The 7 1/2 life long learning tutorial has great advice for learning through out one's life. The hardest habit for my self would be making goals and seeing them through to the end. In my life I have not actually seen much through to the final product, however it is something I am willing to work on to help myself be a better learner and among other things. The easiest habit for me would be using the technology for my advantage. My father is a IT guy and I always grew up around computers and technology. I find very easy to adapt to new technology, so I can stay on the cutting edge and continue to learn using these new tools. Want I wish to learn from using the web 2.0 is how to use what I know about the internet and turn that into a way to make my teaching more effective.
