T.G.I.F.

Hello My Hardworking Techies,
          As I had mentioned during our last class, I will not be able to "physically" be with you today.  Mrs. Diggins will be at the helm in my absence.  I am however, "virtually" with you as I have left you an assignment in Google Classroom and this blog post.  You will NOT be using your iPads during class today.  All work will be done on your workstations, so please put your iPads in a safe place for class.  Today you will continue with your exploration of commenting on blogs of others.  The activity you are doing should look familiar.  We did a similar activity a while ago when we first started blogging.  Please be sure to read the directions carefully.   You will need to get an "answer key" from Mrs. Diggins so you can correct your work.  Please do not turn in your assignment in classroom before you have made corrections.  I should only receive correctly formatted commenting guidelines.  **There are only 8 guidelines on the activity and 10 on the answer key.  Lucky you!!
Once you have finished the Commenting Guidelines assignment you have four possible options, depending on what you have previously completed.   You will need to work through all of these options one at a time in order.  To be clear, EVERYONE IS STARTING OFF BY GOING TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM TO COMPLETE THE COMMENTING GUIDELINES ASSIGNMNET!
See below:
Option 1:
You will need to complete and publish your second blog post.  Please be sure to use the yellow
two page hand out as a guide.  You will need to follow the steps outlined in my blog post from January 4th.  Once you have completed those 6 steps, you will copy and paste your text in to your blog.  Remember to follow the steps on the resource to upload your image and include the link. You may use one another as resources.  Everyone should havea second blog post published by the end of this week with the exceptions of ILT # 13 & #14.
There is a resource for this option.  Please ask for it if you need help.
       
Option 2:
If you have already successfully published your second blog post, you will ask Mrs. Diggins for the
resource, "Cleaning Up Your Digital Life."  You will carefully go through the steps outlined on this document.  Be sure to look at the back side of this document (it is double sided.)

Option 3:
If you have already created and published blog post #2, and cleaned up your digital life, you will
then work on your blog design.  Hint:  From your Blogger dashboard you will select the option
"layout."  Once you are on your layout you will select you will need to look at the top of that
page and select "template designer."  Be sure to "save" your work and changes by looking for
those orange buttons.  Remember:  You are NOT to change your template!

Option 4:
Go to your Google Drive, create a new document, title it, and begin working on a third blog post.

NOT AN OPTION:
  •  watching videos
  • listening to music
  • playing games
You all know the expectations I have for the condition of my lab when I return.  BE SURE TO PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF!!
Please do your personal best while I am out.   Enjoy your three day weekend!
    ~Mrs. White  :)
