Thing 2

I am a completely novice blogger. I have zero experience in reading or writing a blog. In the past I have gravitated toward literature and websites with statistical, objective, and research proven information. I am looking forward to the personal aspect that blogging presents. Exchanging resources, ideas, and personal experiences with fellow students and professionals is intriguing. I was surprised with the level of ease in creating my blog. I found it extremely helpful that our instructor demonstrated how to setup our blog in class and was available to provide assistance to those who needed it. I opted to post under my full name so I may incorporate my blog into a professional portfolio. My blog name “Press zero for operator” refers to my level of inexperience with blogging and web 2.0 tools and my need for assistance as I travel through the technology highway.

Creating my avatar using the Doppelme website was simple and entertaining. I enjoyed the diverse selection of facial expressions and features I was able to choose from. My avatar shares some aspects of my personality and physical appearance. We both have long brown hair and brown eyes in common. I selected a colorful dress for my avatar to wear, which is my favorite type of clothing. I also gave my avatar a dog to represent my love for animals and the fact that my own dog is never far from my side.

  1. I made my avatar look like me as well. I love the fact that you added a dog to your avatar. I'm not even sure I saw that option when I was making my Doppelme. Funny how different people can find some things so obvious while others can stare at something for hours and never see it. I hope that you have a good experience with blogging. I've never blogged before either, but it does seem like it could be very helpful in the classroom.
