Thing #3

When I am a teacher I would like to use a blog in my classroom to keep in contact with parents. I plan on becoming a special education teacher and through a blog i can keep parents informed on what activities are happening in class as well as school. By posting assignments and expectations online parents and students will know where to look if they have questions. Through the blog I will be able to communicate with students and parents quickly.

Thing #2

Creating my avatar. Creating my avatar was a lot easier than I thought it would be. When making the avatar i chose features that resembled mine but still does not look like me. This avatar does look better than the one i made on the wii. I named the blog after myself, just to keep it simple. I was actually impressed with how easy these first steps have been.

Thing #1

Out of the 71/2 life long learning habits the most difficult one for me is number 6: Use technology to your advantage. I am horrible with technology! The easiest of the habits for me is number 2: Accept responsibility for your own learning. I understand that continually learning is something a teacher must do to be able to help his or her students. I thought that setting up this blog was easy. I'm not sure how easy creating the avatar will be though. I am not sure what i want to learn from the web 2.0 tools. I guess i will find out soon!
