Thing #2
As I mentioned previously, the setup for this blog was quite simple. Although it's easy to become frustrated when setting up accounts & profiles like this online, the steps were clear, concise, and few. When creating my avatar, I found it really entertaining to find options for hair, eye color, etc. that resembled me! I gave her a biker jacket because I think they're really cute, and heels because I wanted her to have a little flair. :) The process reminded me of the time I made a "Mii" on my friend's Wii console; we had more fun creating little e-images of ourselves than we did playing any of the actual games! I like that on our 23 Things blogs we get to use these avatars because they help to make everyone's posts more personal; if you can envision the little person at the top of the screen while you read the words of the writer, you're reminded that we're all unique individuals and not just a bunch of typed words that all look alike in black and white.

LlieAnna- I thought the exact same thing about the creating process of our avatar. It definitely reminded me of the little "Mii" people on the Wii game!:) The process was fun and the cute little person at the top of everyones page really does help while reading each person's posts.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was kind of hard to do. Im not as computer literate as the other people in our class, but Im glad you enjoyed making your avatar...she looks like she might have a dangerous rebel side.
ReplyDeleteI thought creating the avatar was a little difficult to do even-though the end result was cute. Believe it or not, I don't own a Wii so I am not sure how to set up a person on it but I do own a play station and I love to play my Dancing with the Starts on it. Thank God I don not not have so set up any character's on it. I just chose a dance and go.
