Thing #3

Using a blog may prove useful in my classroom. In the art classroom I can use it to post images I find important. I can then share these images with my students with relative ease. I could also use it to keep myself organized. I can post subjects I want to teach in class or homework assignments that I want the students to be able to access at home. There are of course other options for the blog as well. I can also use it as a resource to keep parents involved and to communicate with them. Overall, I think that blogs can be beneficial to the classroom.

Thing #2

    I just named my blog something educational because it was created for this classs. I chose my posting name as Lacera because it is a character I used to draw when I drew more often as a child.
    Creating this blog was relatively easy. I haven't ever kept up with a blog before, but hopefully I can at least hold on to this one for its useful resources. I have signed up to many different non-blog websites before so the registration process was easy. I also already had a Google email account so I just linked the two together.
   My avatar is not a physical representation of myself. I just had a lot of fun with the creation process. I like the color red so I went with a red hair color. I have a pet cat but he is certainly not an orange tabby. Dresses are my favorite things to wear because they are harder to grow out of. I picked an angry face because it made me laugh pretty hard. That just about wraps it up!

Oh, and here is a picture of my darling cat.

Thing #1

The easiest habit is to use technology to my advantage. 

I am almost constantly using some form of technology. It makes it a lot easier to find things I need when I am already familiar with the tools I'm using. Oh! Technology is constantly changing and advancing so it can be hard to keep on top of if you fall too far behind. I like to know as much as I can about the things I want to know and use and the Internet has near limitless sources.

The hardest habit is to accept responsibility for my own learning

I have a hard time getting motivated to learn. I will almost shut down from time to time because I just don't feel like it. I need to learn to get rid of those feelings and just jump right into it, because I am the only one who can learn things for myself!
