Creating a blog on this website, has been easy... so far. I did get confused on posting a blog and exactly what to write. Dr. Wall helped tremendously and the website was very easy to understand. People just need to make sure they read everything correctly before posting or doing anything. Everyone needs to understand completely before posting anything or moving on further through the 23 things. I decided on the title of everything like posts and the url name to be something similar to my name, Louisa Murray. lpmurray was as close as I could get and the Louisa Murray Blog EDUC 3040 pretty much sums up the subject of the posts. As for creating a blog, it was easy. Like I said before, people just need to read and understand everything before posting something or moving on to the next step. I am sure if they need extra help they can contact the instructor or another student that can further assist them with their problems.
Creating an avatar was so much fun! I have never done anything like that. I could not create it to reflect me personally but I created as closely to my personality as possible. It was very interesting and enjoyable to create a person on the internet that resembles a person like myself. I did create an avatar that resembled me as closely as possibly. I do not want people to be thrown off by a completely different internet person when compared to the real person. I think if someone has an avatar they need to make the avatar as similar to their real self as possible so they can grow confidence in real like and the technological life.

Thing 1
After reading the Seven and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners, I have decided that Habit 7 is the easiest for me. Teaching and mentoring others is very easy for me. I have a 12 year old younger sister and it means the world to me for her to do well as a young growing girl and to do well in school. Whenever she needs help with school or anything I am always here for her. I am always teaching Tracie, my sister, new things everyday about school and how to be the best person she can. As for the hardest habit I would have to say is Habit 4. I have a very low confidence when it comes to learning and understanding things about school, computers, work, etc. This is probably my biggest flaw about myself. I am always scared I am not doing anything right and if i ask for help I feel stupid for not understanding.
While using, Web 2.0 tools, I plan on learning as much as possible. I hope that this website will help me with setting up any future blogs or anything to do with online. So far it has seemed very helpful and easy. When I was trying to add myself as a new user, it was difficult at first but luckily I had the help that was needed. Surfing this website, I have already been able to easily understand things. I just have to try a little harder but other than that, to me, it has been fairly easy to navigate.
