Thing #3... the future blogger in me.

If I am teaching any grade between third and sixth, I'd use blogs to help myself share ideas of projects in the classroom. I'd get the children involved into different things during the school year depending on seasons, holidays, and other things like that. Trial and error would be a big part of this, but it would be a great way to document my hypothesis for how the projects would happen, the end results, and any hang ups along the way. I could post how the results varied or complied with my hypothesis. It could also be very helpful for making decisions to retry a project in the past with new ideas and a new classroom of children.

Thing #2... but the hair isn't blue.

I've never blogged before, but I've kept a journal for a long time. I've also read other people's blogs. It's pretty interesting to find a blog that you like and read a particular username's posts. The comments are oftimes better than the blogs!

The name of my blog was inspired by my love of Harry Potter. The Weasley twins' open a joke shop that is of a similar name.

It was easy for me. I've dealt with making accounts and digging around in HTML coding for years on the web, so it wasn't hard at all. I liked that we did it in class so everyone had the help available, whether they needed it or not.

My avatar does look like me. I'm just taller. I'm even wearing my 1980s throwback glasses. Elton John would be proud of me. I think that a person's blog is a part of them; their looks shouldn't really matter, but sometimes they can help you understand things about the individual.

Thing #1, but it isn't the creepily adorable Dr. Seuss creature...

The easiest habit for me out of the 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners is to begin with the end in mind. I am a big dreamer, and my imagination is very active. It helps me to look ahead and see what I want out of an experience. The journey is more fun when you've got a flexible yet reliable destination.

The hardest habit for me out of the 7 1/2 is definitely the last habit: play. I'm a serious person. I love to play, but when it's time to be serious, I'm as dull as they come. Having responsibilities and expectations make D. a dull girl. 

I think that it is good to identify the issues that are the most difficult for oneself. Knowing that you have to work harder at that particular thing could help you focus on it enough so you can overcome it.
