Thing #3

I think that I could use this blog system when I become a teacher to help my students do research and expressing their thoughts on a story or poem. My students will create their blog and then after reading a story or a blog in their english class which I will be teaching they can get on their blog site and write about how they felt about that story. If they liked it they will write about what they liked and if they did not like it, write about why they did not like it. When we read a poem and it is not really clear on what it is about I will let my students write about it in their blog about what they thought it was about, then when everyone is done we will discuss what everyone put.

Thing # 2

I have to admit, creating this web blog was a little out of my element. It took me quite a few minutes to figure out what I was doing and where I was going on the internet. I would not say it was hard for me but it was not easy as well. Creating my blog just took some effort because I had never done something like that before. My experience was great though, I had a friend who sat beside me to help me along. My favorite thing about creating the blog was creating my avatar! I probably sat at the computer for an hour picking out my avatar. I think it reflects me in a way. I have blonde hair and I love my dog to pieces so I had to put a dog sitting beside my little me.
