Thing 2

Setting up and creating the blog was pretty straight forward.  While I don't have much experience in the past with blogging, I have set up blogs and taught students at a tech camp how to blog.  I decided the name for this blog should probably follow the directions given in class, so nothing fancy on that end.  But I did want to have some fun with the "Things" idea and have created images for Thing 1 - Thing 23+1.  I hope Dr. Seuss doesn't mind.

The avatar I created for my blog, is more of a self-reflection of my real self.  I have another avatar that I use for my Engrade account that all of my students can see.  I have added it below.  I think it is less a reflection of myself, and more a reflection of my fun mischievous side.

All in all, I like the idea of blogging and have some ideas for other blogs I would like to set-up and create.  My biggest obstacle in blogging though, is simply having the time to keep and maintain a blog site.  Perhaps when I finish working on my MAT I will find a little more free time to that can be devoted to some of my ideas.
