BLOGGING BOOTCAMP
Note: These step-through handouts are specific to our district's Edublogs Campus Press blog subscription, but they can be adapted to fit any blogging platform.
|
Day 1: Blog Set Up
|
****Suggestion: A couple of days before going to the lab to set up blogs, give each student a paper version of the Settings and Profile Template posted here. This gives students time to choose a blog title and tagline, and it gives the teacher the opportunity to check that students have followed the prescribed format for usernames and other required information.
