Thing #3

Ways that I might use a blog in my teacher education program or my future classroom are things like screen casting that way the students can see other methods of learning the materials and it is web based so no software has to be purchased. Another thing would be to go to other teachers blogs to see their success stories and feed off their ideas to help improve my classroom experience. Blogs that do interactions with the students will help them especially if there are fun videos that do demonstrations instead of a boring lecture. With our blog system we have created at apsu I will certainly use it during my teaching career because there is so much feedback on the "things!!!"

Thing #2

My first blog!
I have no prior experiences of blogging my own but I have read some friends on myspace a long time ago.

I decided on my posted name to use my apsu username and I used the same on my blog but added 3040.

My experience with creating the blog was easy because the directions were laid out for me. The avatar was a bit confusing but nothing too difficult because you just have to read the instructions carefully and do not give up on it.



The avatar reflects my personality with the background as a classroom because that is the profession I am entering. The clothes are those that I would wear in the classroom, a button up and khakis. The avatar does look like my real self and I chose to do it this way when people read my blog they can find me easily in class to discuss topics further than just writing on a blog.
