Phew! It works! Being as this is my first experience with creating and maintaining a blog, I feel that I have done very well. I must say, the idea of dialoguing all of my experiences of working through the mandatory twenty-three things was initially a bit overwhelming. Technology has never been a huge passion of mine. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it and utilize many current trends of technology, but I would have never taken the time outside of Education 3040 to figure out how to successfully create an avatar (let alone a blog). However, I was reassured with the straight-forward guidelines that were set out for the class under apsu23things.blogspot.com. I had no trouble setting up either account through Blogger or Doppelme. After finishing, I can honestly say that I am glad that I did. What a wonderful new avenue the Blog has opened up for transcribing important moments in my life or future classroom experiences.
By nature, I have a tendency to be very precise and descriptive when organizing material for later use, especially for school purposes. Therefore, I decided on titling my blog Sloffer: Education 3040-01. I suppose I figured that this would also be easy to recognize for classmates and grading purposes. As far as my choice of Avatar goes, I generated a simple but true replication of myself: long strawberry-blonde hair, green eyes, slacks, black shoes, and a dressy sweater. I chose these features because they reflect who I am as a person, someone who is simplify content with being comfortable with myself. To sum up, my posts contain my thoughts and I wanted my Avatar to reflect my likeness, as it was linked to my blog.
If it weren't for my classmate who sits next to me, I would not have been able to figure out the blog. Thank goodness I'm not the only one who felt overwhelmed by it. I like that your blog really portrays who you are. Everything about it has a reason behind what you chose. I am not an organized person, and my personality is kinda just everywhere. So it's interesting to see all of the personalities of each person in our class. It definitely feels like you're getting to know them more than any other class would.
