New Blog

You spoke and we listened!  We decided to have all students create a second blog for school work.  You will be encouraged to continue blogging about your passions on your original blog.  Please remember this is connected to a school account, you BPS Blogging and Commenting Guidelines should be followed.  You should also be sure the content is school appropriate!  
You will need to go to your Blogger Dashboard and “create a new blog”.  The new interface looks a little bit different, but if you look around you will be able to find this gray tab.  Please name your school blog in the following manner:
         This example would be if I were a student creating a blog:
                  Name of Blog:   Kim’s School Blog
                      URL:   kimsschoolblog(.blogspot.com)
**You may need to add the first initial of your last name or a symbol if you have a common first name.  You will know as the new interface will tell you automatically if that URL is not available.*
You will need to choose a template which allows you to make multiple pages easily.
You can now work on the design of your blog.  Please be sure to create the following pages:
  1. Home (this will be automatically created and the only page on which you can create a “real post”  I would like you to create a post telling your new teachers a little bit about you. You may want to include your strengths and weaknesses in school, likes and dislikes, etc...
  2. English
  3. Math
  4. Science
  5. Social Studies
  6. Technology
**You may delete the Technology page from your other blog.  You could put your podcast post on your new blog if you’d like.
You may play around with design, colors, widgets, etc....
Be sure to “Apply” and “Save” as you go!!
