Until today I had no prior experience with Blogs. As a result, setting up a blog for me appeared a little difficult. However, as I continued to navigate through the various tools, I am becoming more familiar with them. I anxiously await learning more.
Initially, I viewed Blogs as being similar to Facebook posts. However, after spending the last couple of days on Blogger, there is appears to be a distinct difference. While facebook is more of social networking, blogger affords journaling and networking experiences. Because of the distinct differences, I selected a name that pertains to me at this very time and place (my last name, my current and future role in society). Basically, I am a Soldier preparing to be a teacher.
Setting up my avatar was interesting. Not only does she have my hairstyle, but she has a laptop in her hand. Since entering Grad School, my family swears that I sleep with my laptop in my hand. Today's students have an immense amount of knowledge in the use of technology. As an educator I aim to stay one step ahead, even if that means sleeping with my laptop;).
Stephanie, I love your avatar! I may go back and put a laptop on my avatar as well. I know what you mean about blogging for the first time. This is my first time too. I'm having fun, though. It's very cool to meet another SPeD student!
