It has been very exciting to finally upload our first blog posts!!! Now students are understanding the process. We will continue tweaking our blogs as we go along. The next item on the agenda is adding some widgets and gadgets. How many? Which ones? Where should they go? Why do we need them? All of these questions are great and will hopefully be answered this coming week. I will caution you to not get too carried away. Remember- you words are the most important part of your blog!!! If something is distracting your readers from your words, it may not be a good choice. We will also be adding labels to your posts. This is a great way for people to find your blog. At the end of the week you will help create a rubric for the design components of your blogs. I want my students to be a part of creating this rubric. You will use it to help you improve your blog in the next weeks.
I know some of my students are disappointed with the "grade" they received on their first blog post. Have no fear! You will continue to create new posts. You may ask me to evaluate another blog post as a "retake" for this content piece. We will discuss this during class.
I am so excited to have you finally out there adding to the Web!!! Have fun and be careful! Protect that precious digital footprint of yours!
