This is going to be an interesting experience!! I have read blogs before when researching different topics, but I have never written one. I just never really got into the whole bloggo-sphere I would just rather tell someone my experience than type it out for the world to see. I am interested to see how this experience goes and will use it to decide if blogging is something I would like to continue.
I named my blog 23 Things simply because that was the name of the project. No mystery there and I am not a very creative thinker so my imagination didn't take it any farther than that! I am capable when it comes to computers bu I am by no means a tech savvy
person. I thought it was easy enough to create the actual blog and the avatar but I ran
into trouble when it came to adding the avatar to my blog. I followed the
directions to the letter but hit a certain point where my blog page did
not match the directions and was stuck. I had to ask for help, we
finally figured out how to fix the problem. My blog was set on dynamic
view and not simple view so it was not showing all of the available tool
bars, once that was fixed I was back on track!
Again not a creative person so I stayed inside the box when it came to creating my avatar I tried to make it look like myself as much as possible but there are only so many choices! I think it adequately depicts me and it will do the job.
Rachel, I have also been more of one to prefer face to face contact. So far I think the blogs will be a useful tool in my future classroom, but I had reservations when I started as well. Hopefully as we continue in this class, we will become more comfortable and grow to find it a familiar and useful tool.
