September -
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Technology!
In the next
couple of days you will find ALL the paperwork for our Term 1 project here.
The technology program you will gaining proficiency in is Microsoft
PowerPoint 2007. You will love it!
In the
meantime . . . Our first "real" task is to create a blog using the free blog
provider - Blogger. They are located here:
http://www.blogger.com.
This is a great tool and will come in handy when you evaluate your final
project .
TASK 1
1.
Please watch the video below and see just how easy it is to create your own
blog.
2.
Create your own blog.
3.
Write a reflection. The purpose of the reflection is to THINK about
WHAT you are doing and WHY you are doing it. (The kinds of questions that
you want to ask yourself are: Was it easy/difficult to follow the
steps and create a blog? Was it fun/cool/stupid? Will this
method of reflecting prove more useful than others that I have used in the past?
Explain what difficulties you are having . You are not limited to these specific questions and I
encourage you to go much further than this - it will count toward your grade
for engagement).
You will be
EXPECTED to write reflections at the end of each class period. I will
personally visit each and every blog ;-)
to add encouragement (I love blogging!). Feel free to personalize
your blog - it's fun!
