To be honest I haven’t had much experience with educational technology. This was one of the reasons I joined this class, so I could become familiar with it, as I believe educational technology will help me in my future teaching career. I have blogged slightly before this class, but the only edits I made were the colours and backgrounds, header image, font, and the site identity. I had no idea how to edit anything else. It was defiantly a real struggle figuring out how to edit my blog and took me a lot of time and effort to figure it out, I’m still not sure I have it figured out yet. There are also a lot of aspects I have seen on other blogs that I would like to achieve on my own, but I don’t even know where to start. Even though I have been having lots of challenges editing my blog I believe it is something I should and would like to continue and improve on, as I am planning on using this blog for the reminder of my time in University as well as after I graduate and become a teaching.
I will also be participating in Twitter this semester. I have never used Twitter before so it might take a little getting used to. Here is a link to my twitter page: https://twitter.com/Andrea12863179

Hey Andrea! Maintaining a blog is pretty overwhelming at first but I can see that you’ve made significant progress since your first two weeks in EDTC 300. Figuring out all of the “behind the scenes stuff” is quite tricky. Believe me I know… I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for the help of Katia and my tech-savvy peers. It look a long time before mine was even slightly organized and aesthetically pleasing but I think your blog looks well organized and I love how your header image and background colour match your hair colour in your profile picture! You certainly are on the right track! I can assure you that it will be easier once you get into the habit of blogging. It might take some time and hard work but it will come! I know I have told you this before but seriously do not hesitate to ask for help. The help of others is what got me though ECMP 355!
Talk to you again soon!
