Welcome to Blogging!

Welcome to blogging, or more dramatically, "the Blog"... dun, dun, dun.  Rather than having you keep a journal that you write in weekly (or more if you choose), I thought we would would try blogging. For this class, you will each create and maintain your own blog.  I will give specific topics or questions that you will need to answer and you may, on occasion, need to respond to your classmates writing. I will explain this more later.

NOTE: For the blog set up, I want you to use your PACT email account. It makes it easier for me and your classmates to identify you.

Assignment part 1: Create your own blog using Blogger and your school email account. You may have a blog already, that's awesome, keep up with that one, even add a link between that one and this new one. I expect that you will use good judgement when it comes to what you post. Play with colors, templates, fonts, gadgets, and give it a unique title -really make it your own.

Assignment part 2: E-mail Mr Morrow p.morrow@pactcharter.org from your school email account, putting  your first and last name in the subject line and a link (I want the full URL) to your blog in the body of the e-mail.

My URL is this: http://mrmorrow-pact.blogspot.com  
Yours will be similar.

Assignment part 3: Post to your blog! Answer the question... who are you? see blog rubric for what is considered an adequate blog. Challenge: embed images, video, or sound into your post to make it more "cool". Have fun!
