The avatars are a pretty cute idea, I think it's a different way to see everyone's personality rather than see a picture of them. I made my avatar to look like myself. I love pink and I stay cold all the time so my avatar is sporting a pink sweater. My avatar has a sheep because I've ALWAYS wanted a sheep and a goat but my mom would never let me have one. I like goats a lot more than sheep but they didn't have a goat avatar.

Thing 2
When I had a myspace I would write a few blogs then. Basically I have no "real" experience with blogs, but I am a fast learner. The posting name of my blog is my name, so it was pretty easy to decide on it. The blog was easy to create, the part that was hard for me was trying to put the avatar on it. I could not figure out how to link it to the blog! Besides the whole avatar thing, it has been a pretty easy process getting used to the blog's layout. I am sure with time I will master Blogger. :)
Thing 1
I didn't think that setting up the blog was that hard, I used to blog back in the days of myspace. I think that blogging is a great way to express your views on topics and keep up with former high school classmates. I really liked Learning 2.0. I think it's an awesome tool.
The easiest habit for me out of the 7 and 1/2 would be to use technology to my advantage. Since I grew up in an age that technology was becoming a vital part of life, I learned to use it for everything. I will admit that if I lost my MacBook Pro or my iPhone I would be totally lost! I use technology to write papers, spell check, grammer check, to make my calander/schedule, to stay in touch with friends and family, and everything inbetween! Today technology has became a great learning tool, there is tons of apps on the iPad to teach math by games, have all your text books in one play, make flashcards, ect.
The hardest habit for me would be to play. The way that I have always learned was by instruction and reading the material. I think the games that put learning in them was pretty cool, but I remember in elementry school I never really "got the hang of" playing those games to learn math, I needed one on one instruction with the teacher. In school I liked to play the review games in English and History, but if the teachers wouldn't have made them I would have been fine. I know that I want to make review games and make learning fun in my classroom because that's a great way to teach students, but for me that wasn't the way that I would learn material. Each student is different and I think that we as educators should help the students learn in anyway that we can.
