Week 2: Creation

This week I created my blog. I found it very rewarding working with a group of teachers from my school. Although I enjoy group learning, I soon ran into system issues. In the middle of creating my avatar, our system went down. I was determined to work on it at home. Again, I think we are nearing the necessity to have each member of my family with our own computers. One of my kids, a freshman in college, needed it for a heavy load of school work this week, another needed to look up explorers, and my fourth grader needed to practice her math facts online. I guess we have arrived in the digital age. The oldest is now at work, the others are in bed and I finally have control of the computer. :) Learning how to create my avatar was fun. I am planning to have my students create an avatar and usethat personna and blogging to report on the news as we explore colonization and the beginnings of American History. I bet they will really get into it.
