Thing 6

I went to Web 2.0 Tool called PicFull, http://www.go2web20.net/site/?a=Picfull, which is a photo editing site. I was extremely happy to find a picture editing site because I love pictures and different ways to make them look different. The picture I posted is of the main singer of Maroon 5. All I did to the photo was have the color balance technique. There were many other types of editing tools but I like this one the best. If you enjoy editing pictures, this is the site for you!

Thing 5

School 2.0 is way of improving technology in schools to help teachers and students. I think that this type of improvement will be very helpful in the school systems. When technology improves we find out ways that will help schools and I feel like School 2.0 is just that.

Thing 4

Commenting on a blog is a key component of blogging. Commenting is the way to see how others that have read your blog feel and react to your views. Not everyone is going to agree with every thing that you say so comments can show their opinions and how they view the topic you are discussing. Comments can also show if the blogger has a good blog or a bad blog. When someone comments on your blog, it can tell the blogger if your opinion is a good one or it is just a waste of space. Some people don't even have a blog they just view other blogs and get ideas from them and comment on others blogs . I think commenting on blogs are important because if the blogger does not get any feedback then he or she might stop blogging even if they have a great idea on what they are talking about.

I will be commenting on others blogs throughout the semester!

Thing 3

Being a teacher, I would use blogs to connect with students and their parents along with researching new ideas for the classroom by looking up other teachers blogs. Blogs are normally made from teens that are in love with some boy band or a type of actor, but if I dig deep I will be able to find other teachers with new and improved ideas that might spark more imagination in my head for new work in the classroom. Blogs are very helpful with creating new relationships with other bloggers and better relationships with those in the classroom and the parents of those in class.

Thing 1

As I went through the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners slideshow I could tell which habits were my strength and which ones were my weakness. The habit that comes easiest to me is viewing problems as challenges. I am a very competitive person in my life, so viewing my problems that may be difficult I look at them as challenges that I must overcome to go onto the next challenge. The hardest habit for me is to be confident in myself as a competent, effective learner. When I was a younger student I had more trouble in school then I do now. I always felt like I was behind everyone in understanding a topic and I became more and more less confident in myself. Even now if I do bad on one test I take it to heart too much and get down on myself. Now that I have realized what my strengths and weaknesses are it will be easier for me to fix them. This way I will become the best student that I can be!
