Thing #3: Register your blog

Only twenty more things to go. I'm still loving the simplicity of this blog site thus far. I can think of numerous things I, myself as a future teacher, could use a blog for. I could easily use a blog to post the lesson plan for each day. It would be a conventional way to allow any students who attend or who are absent the day of to view something they may have missed any where internet access is available. It would be possible for them to comment on posts with questions they may have. This is definitely something to think about for a couple years down the road when I am actively teaching.

Thing #2: Create a Blog, Add a Post and an Avatar

     Okay, so now I am an official blogger. This is only the second time I have ever tried this. I am hoping to get a sufficient amount of hands on experience with this so I am able to work on a personal blog for my daughter as she grows up. 
     I have nothing to hide through this experience, there for I have chosen to post with my regular identity instead of anonymously. Or maybe I just have not figured out how to change my name on here yet. ;-) I am kidding! Thus far, creating this blog and adding posts has been relatively easy. When I attempted to create my last blog the website that I choose to make it at was very confusing. I am really enjoying the Google layout! Anyway, I am sure you see my avatar on the left hand side of my page. It pretty much describes me to a "T". The baby represents my daughter, and the headphones represent my love for music. Without either one of those I could simply not function properly. 
    That is all I have for today. Until next time, ta ta for now!

Thing #1: Lifelong Learning and Learning 2.0

     While watching the tutorial, 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners, I came to realize that Habit 1: Begin with the end in mind was the easiest for me to establish. Graduating is the main goal for most college students, like myself. I would have never even started if I did not get to receive my diploma at the end of my journey and begin my career. I know that I must do the work to succeed and get to where I am going, so that is my motivation. 
      Although Habit 1 comes easy to me, there are definitely some habits that are harder to keep. For me, Habit 7 1/2: Play is the one that is easily forgotten. I sometimes get to caught up in my studies that I tend to lose track of time for myself. I must remember that in order to stay focused and do well as I am working toward my future, I have to have some down time. Work hard; Play hard!
