Thing 2

Prior to this, I have no experience with blogs. I have never read or wrote in a blog before taking the Educational 3040 Instructional Technology course. This is a first. Overall the experience was easy and fun. On occasions I may run into a few minor hiccups such as placing my avatar on my page. When I decided to post a name for my blog, I wanted something more appropriate for the school setting. Whats better than Ms. McCombs's Classroom? My avatar is there as a symbol of what I represent. I am black American who loves smiling, learning, and teaching. Teaching is a gift that everyone does not have. My clothes represent professionalism. It's my captains uniform. The laptop is an indicator that I am always aware of the newest information, important for the success of my students. Its the playbook where all my plays rest. I too am a student (player) and the only difference between me and those I will teach is I will have more experience. The background of my avatar is my playing field. It's where all my plays come to life.

    I really like your explanation of your avatar, and how it relates to your future. I never looked at being a student as being a player, but I see it. Plus the playing field was a great aesthetic choice to play up the student/player avatar.

      Thank You!!!! In another class we had to come up with an analogy that we thought teaching related to and I said football, but it could be any kind of sport. We all are team players who have to motivated, encourage, protect, and make sure our times are successful. The teachers role is the coach to make sure they are coaching their team to the playoff and state championships. The hard part is finding the right plays. =)

    I love how your quote "Teaching is a gift that everyone does not have" I have to admit I love teaching history and explaining to my little cousins, my friends, my family, ect! If someone asked me to teach math to them, I couldn't....I wasn't blessed with the ability to teach people math. People are blessed with many different types of talent, but I am thinkful that mine is teaching. I think teaching is one of the most rewarding talents that someone can have in life!
