Thing #2

I have never had any experince with creating or using a blog before nor have I ever read a blog. I decided on the name of my blog by using my name. It was something simple and tells you who is creating this blog. At first creating my blog was easy but then it started getting a little confusing. When having to put my avatar on my blog I had a hard time figuring out the right way to do it as well as where I should place it. It was a little frusterating but once I got the hang of it was okay. When creating my avatar for my blog I did my best to make it look like me. My avatar is wearing my favorite color and the color of the hair matches mine. I made my avatar look like me because this blog is mine so who better to be on it then an avatar that looks like me.

In the seven and a half things they give you many habits to think about. They all talk about life long learning. There were a few that stuck out to me while I was going through the tutorial. For instance the hardest habit for me was to view problems as challenges. When a problem comes up I tend to have a negative feeling towards the situation. So I need to start looking at problems as a chance to prove to myself that I can over come anything thrown at me. One of the easiest habits is use technology to your advantage. When I get stuck working on something if it's a question on my homework or finding out information need to do an assignment I go to the computer. I can search for the information and use it once I figure out what I need. With technology changing it is becoming easier to find what it is that you need to know. The habits that was shown on the tutorial all promote life long learning.

When it came to setting up my blogger account it was easy. Everything that you had to do to make it was simple. One of the fun things for me was getting to choose what it looked liked. This allowed me to give it my personal touch. Throughout this process of creating a blog and making post I want to  learn how to use Web 2.0 tools I have never had any experiences using them before so I would like to gain a knowledge of how Web 2.0 works.
