Thing #1

The easiest of the 7 1/2 habits that I believe will benefit myself in the classroom is the one that deals with being teaching/mentoring people. I feel this would be my strong point in teaching because I am the kind of person that likes to help out those in need or individuals who are struggling to comprehend the material. It is really for this sole reason that I picked the education field. Since I can remember I have always been one to help out I can recall being teased about being a teachers pet in elementary school, but that did not bother me because I knew by helping out my teachers that I would benefit from this in the long run and ultimately I have.

On the other hand I think the hardiest habit of the 7 1/2 habits for me would have top be the one about beginning with the end in mind. This would be difficult for me because I am not an individual who likes to think way off in the future. My train of thought only thinks a few days maybe weeks ahead not months and years and this is something I am going to have to work on because the field of Education is always changing and if a young teachers does not think and plan ahead there may not be a job opportunity for them in the future.

Thing #3

A way that I could incorporate a blog into my classroom would be to post classroom assignments as well as upcoming events that may be happening to my blog page. Also it would give myself a way to interact with parents who have concerns or questions about what is going on in my classroom, and it would also allow accessing myself as a teacher easier if I am updating a blog everyday that my students and their parents could view at any time.

Thing #2

The way I decided on my posting name was by just using what is common to myself, and that is my APSU username I believe this will make things much easier to remember when logging into this site. My experience in creating this blog was fairly easy I really did not have any difficulty in setting up my account. My avatar reflects me in several ways because I made it to look laid back like myself and I made him look intelligent because I plan on teaching one day.
