Thing #3 Avatar
Moving the avatar was a bit frustrating on this program. I have created them in the past on other programs and didn't have as much problems as I did here. After I was able to do it, now its quick to do, however, prior to this, it is time consuming!! Great learning experience.

Thing #2 Life Long Learners
Again, as a teacher, I have not kept up with technology as I should have this past school year. So when we had an opportunity to learn some new skills, I independently, I was ready to jump on board.
As we want our students to be life long learners, we need to make sure we are updated on knowledge, skills and are able to keep out students engaged. Kids are more intelligent these days and sometimes can also teach us!
When watching the 7 habits of highly effective people, I noticed that I had alot in common with each point. The easiest habits for me are 7 and 7 1/2 which are teacher/mentor and playing. Since I am a teacher it is easy for me to pass on my knowledge and have students look up to me as a mentor. Like any student, I enjoy playing on pieces of technology to learn about them. So I agree that play is a good way to learn and when you are enjoying what you learn, its easier to learn.

Hello World--Introduction
Hi I'm Rhonda Rogers who has the nickname of Ronnie since younger years. At the present time, I am a middle school teacher possibly going back to high school this year for teaching.
As I thought about how I could teach high schoolers again, I noticed that I did not incorporate enough technology in my classroom as much as I would have wanted to this past year. As I reflected as to why I didn't use the technology; I decided that it was because I was afraid to learn something new.
As a teacher I have kept up with my knowledge and basic teaching skills but not advanced my technology skills as I could have.
