Blog Clinic
I'm getting excited about our next Portfolio Group meeting because we will meet in the computer lab at Gayle's high school to learn how to blog with more power. My husband, Rob, will help explain some of the more technical aspects. I hope that the session gets more people excited about the blog so that we can build up our online community.
The agenda for that afternoon will be
I. Blog Basics
A. What is a Blog
B. How to find interesting blogs
C. How to comment on a blog
II. Blog Authorship
A. Login/Passwords/Changing Passwords
B. Creating a new entry
C. Draft or publish
III. Making It Pretty
A. italics, bold, underline
B. Creating links to other websites
C. Uploading files (pictures, sounds, PDF, etc)
D. Creating thumbnail pictures
IV. Discussion about professionalism and norms for our blog
We should all have a computer in front of us so we can practice creating entries and try out all the techniques. This should be fun!
