Although I have an impressive collection of books littering virtually every room of my small apartment, I have never read a single blog before. I have never written one either. The fictional fantastical adventures of the characters in my books seem so much more interesting than my own. Who would want to read about my mundane life? Perhaps I will be able to write a perspective that other have not considered on these topics though, and my posts will be able to enrich the learning experience of someone else.
In a flourish of unoriginality, I chose my name for my blog. It was simple and straight to the point, much like the directions for creating the blog. The step by step instructions kept me on task, and provided for a small margin of error. Thank goodness for that, because I don't think I would have been able to figure out how to put my avatar up on my own!
I really enjoyed making my avatar though. It looks a little like me with my haircut and constantly surprised expression. She happens to have better clothes than me though. Choosing the clothes was kind of fun. I would look through and go "Oh! I want to wear that!" and then apply it to my mini-me. It is like an interpretation of how I would dress to best suit my personality. That was my favorite part.
It is wonderful that you love to read. I also have a love for reading. I believe that when we become teachers, we should pass this love of reading onto our students. So many students hate reading and I think some of this hatred comes from teachers not encouraging their students to read. I had amazing teachers who would read a book of their own when the class would read during reading time. They would also share information about their books with the class. I think teachers should set an example for their students.
ReplyDeleteI was the same way with my avatar. I feel like it was hard to make one look exactly like mine, but I have to agree that mine looks like mine a little bit. When it comes to blogging, I was the exact same. I read books and am always on the internet, but I have never written a blog before either.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the clothes, I would find something and wonder where can I go buy that at? Your blog looks great keep it up. =)
