Today students were introduced to Blogs. We held a class discussion on what blogging is all about. Who blogs? Why do people blog?--to share "news". Blogs can consist of words, pictures and videos. Blogs can be personal diaries, portfolios, an expert sharing information to someone sharing a vacation experience. The possibilities are endless. We watched a blog video from YouTube - creative commons - Blogs in Plain English. Students created a blog utilizing Google's Blogger. Student's customized their blogs - backgrounds and colors. Students also created their first post - "How am I currently using Social Media - or web tools?
Welcome to our Social Media blog! On this blog you will find web tools that are discussed within this course. You will also find links to each student's blog where they share and reflect on the tools explored. Students will be exploring various web tool applications of which they can utilize to enhance their learning and social experiences. Students will be learning and practicing digital literacy and responsibility, collaborating, creating, socializing, organizing content, while HAVING FUN!!!
