New to Blogging

Well, I hope this works. I am taking a class on technology for the classroom. I usually find technology quite interesting. However, this area is new to me and is a bit confusing. Hopefully my classmates can point me in the right direction.

  1. I am also new to blogging and am excited to figure this whole thing out. How are you going to use blogging in your class? It seems to be an endless amount of possibilities and just the fact that you are trying this is wonderful and beneficial. We are definitely in this together! :)

  2. Frank,
    I am also new to this. One thing you can do to personalize your page is to create a profile. Go to your blog and sign in. You'll be at the "dashboard". Click edit profile.
    It seems to me that an easy way to start using blogging in the class is to use it to "do something differently". Find an assignment you already do that can be done with blogging. Journaling would be easy to switch to a blog. It could also be a place students could go to ask each other for homework help, like our Q and A at Walden.
    Good luck with experimenting with this technology.
