Thing 3 and 4

Perhaps one of the most fascinating tools that has emerged from the Internet cloud in recent years is the Blog. Blogger.com is just one of several blogging engines that have been developed for classroom use. I have used another type of classroom blog, but this one was similar to set up. I had never added an avatar before. It was time consuming just trying to decide what to use. Also, deciding a name for my blog was difficult. The value of classroom blogging, both as an avenue for their communications, but also as a tool for giving voice to what students are learning and how they are learning.

I think blogs are great! I had to smile when I saw the layout you chose; I almost picked that one, too.

I think you can get stuck for hours trying to pick all the things for an avatar. What gets bad is when you decide on a whim to change it. Then to change it again the next day...and the next...and the next...LOL

I,too, had difficulty deciding on a name and spent quite a while thinking of one. I'm still not completely satisfied on what I ended up with, but it will do for now. I am new to blogging, but I am really enjoying reading the comments and finding my way around. I love your cheerleader avatar.
