It has certainly been a crazy month. I cannot believe October is almost over! This weekend we gain an hour (HOORAY!!) as we set back our clocks. Why do we change our clocks? Check out the information on the Daylight Savings Time post.
I know some of you are still having difficulties with your Apple ID's and getting your Apps, and I am addressing that with individuals and trying to problem solve. We are moving forward and beginning our lessons on Blogging. Before starting, I need to have a sense of what you know, so please take a few minutes and complete the Blogging PreAssessment. We will need to establish a common vocabulary for some terms associated with blogging. We will take a look at a diagram of a blog, label it, and discuss our BPS Blogging and Commenting Guidelines this week. Before we take a look at our guidelines, we will take a look at Blogging in Plain English (it's an oldie but a goodie.)
You will have some time to explore a couple of other blogs. You may use your iPad and your "Qrafter" App (QR code reader). There is a sheet of QR codes in your workstation resource folder. If you don't have your Apps yet, you may open my blog on your iPad (this may be a good time to bookmark it) and click on the links of the Interesting Blog Resources document. You may also view these blogs using your workstation and this same document. The choice is yours. Please select one of the blogs listed and review it using the Blog Evaluation Checklist you can find by clicking on the link or finding it in your workstation resource folder. When you have finished, please go to Padlet and post the name of your blog and the score it received.
Have a great week, and please don't get frustrated. You will all be up and running shortly!! Try to remain calm as the end of October, Halloween, and Daylight Savings Time all approach this weekend. I heard we may even see a little of the "white stuff" this weekend!!!
