Creating my blog and avatar was a great learning experience for me. Since I am not tech-savvy, I found it amazing what could be done in creating both the blog and the avatar. I decided on my posting name by remembering that Dr. Wall wanted us to use our last name and I just addied my initials. I kept it simple because there is so much to remember when it comes to usernames, passwords, URL's, etc. I chose "Nanniemary" for the name of my blog because I am "Nannie" to six grandsons and one great-granddaughter and adding my first name to create a unique name.
As I posted previously, creating the blog was an interesting, but scary and anxiety-ridden experience. This was due to the fact that I am not comfortable with all the web applications available which made it a hard, slow process. Of course, that is why we are taking this course and I am confident I will be proficient very soon!
My avatar was created to reflect my real self as much as possible as well as my personality. They did not offer red hair scattered with gray hair, but I look younger this way! I do spend most of my time in t-shirts and jeans and tennis shoes or hiker boots, and I wear my glasses all the time. The laptop accessory and the classroom background are a part of my developing teacher personality and help to define me. The avatar was definitely a fun activity.
