Thing 2

Blogging is something extremely new to me and all of the steps of creating a blog, avatar, and post were challenging at first, but the 23 things for teachers website helped in making each step easier. In deciding on my posting name, it was pretty simple. I used my first and last name, so that anyone reading my posts in my blog would know these are my personal thoughts and opinions. Emily's 23 things is the title of my blog and I thought this was a great fit because each post contains my thoughts and understandings of each thing. As previously stated, creating a blog at first was hard because I have never created a blog before, but now it is extremely self explanatory and easy. I think blogging is a great way to express your ideas without pen and paper and it gives others an opportunity to view you opinions, make comments, and read something they would have never had the opportunity to do if it was on paper. Truthfully, it was hard to create an avatar to show my true personality, so I did my best in matching my personal characteristics with the avatar. By matching my characteristics with the avatar, my goal was to have my personality show through the similarity of the characteristics. Creating a stick figure to match you completely is just not going to happen, especially since I am not an art major, but it looks as close to me as it is going to get.
