Plans for Friday...Keep On Blogging and Clean Up

I am very excited to have an opportunity to work with all of your teachers today and Mr. Greg Kulowiec from Ed Tech Teacher.  We will be exploring some new apps and get new ideas for using iPads in our classes.  It should be a great day!  There will also be some grade 8 teachers in our building as well.   You will be meeting in the lab downstairs, room 114, with Mr. Migliorini.  I am sure you will do a great job for him.  He observed this lesson on Tuesday, so he is very familiar with my expectations.  Please do the following.

  1. Locate your blogging resources (they should be paper clipped together on top of your workstations.)
  2. Launch Google Chrome and log in to your Google Drives
  3. Open the doc you created for your new blog post; if you haven't created it yet, do so now.
  4. You will be writing the first post for this new year.  You may use some of the suggestions on the top of the resource (purple one) or choose one of your own.  A couple of additional suggestions:  The upcoming Patriot's playoff game on Saturday
    The record cold temperature
    Describing your holiday celebrations and vacation
  5. New Year's Resolutions
  6.  Once you have finished your post (in Google docs) you will have a classmate edit it.
  7.   You will make the corrections to your post and then get ready to upload it to Blogger.
  8. Open a new window and go to your Blogger dashboard.
  9. Drop down the options arrow, select "posts", and select "create" new post.
  10. Copy and paste your text using your keyboard shortcuts.
  11. Then upload your images and add links.
  12. Before you click, "publish" be sure to add a Post Title and Label for this post.
  13. You will then use the January Clean Up resource to clean up your digital life.
  14. If there is any time left in class, please tweak your blog design and work on adding                             widgets/gadgets.
Have fun and help one another.  I am sure you will do a great job and can't wait to read your posts!!
Have a super weekend!!
     ~Mrs. White :)
