This was my first experience in creating a blog and reading about its advantages and disadvantages. I had a notion about what it was, but never explored it so fully until this assignment. After checking the four choices (Blogger.com, Our Story, LiveJournal and Edublogs), I decided to choose Blogger.com because of its clean look and its easy and quick three steps process.
I had a hard time coming up with an interesting and original title for my blog and a user name. I decided on "Online Classroom Assessment" - not very creative - but it's a reflection of the content of the course I'm taking and the reason I've created this blog. As for the user name, "Harmony," I happened to be looking at my Swarovski crystal collection, and its 2005 "Wonders of the Sea" annual edition called "Harmony." It contains two clown fishes on an anemone and three other smaller fishes swimming down towards the clown fishes. For a look at "Harmony, " please click on http://www.swarovski.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/SCO-Web_US-Site/en_US/-/USD/SW_DisplayProductInformation-Start;pgid=i35I6_movKNSR0EEKtMsEUMK00006iNKOFF0?ProductSKU=657120&CategoryName=0316099&origin=detail
I thought the two clown fishes could well represent the instructor and the student, and the three fishes are the other students joining on the blog. The name "Harmony" also conveys the idea of working together towards a common goal with mutual respect for each other's opinions.
