Blogger is my preferred Blogging platform - not for any particular reason other than I like it. I have looked at a couple of others but feel comfortable with Blogger and I can get it to do almost everything I need it to do. Some of the staff asked it I could introduce them to Blogger as a way of creating an online presence with their students.
Some were going to use it as a place to:
- introduce concepts and further readings,
- record the processes they created in their classroom
- other wanted it to be a place students could find out about the next task
- some wanted a place to collect resources of interest
- one was heading to Vietnam and wanted to keep everyone at home informed of her journey.
So we had a little PD session one afternoon after school. This is the Starter Sheet I put together for the first timers. It had a bit of an explanation of a blog and then some really basic blogging skills like postinga blog, formatting a blog entry and following. Fell free to use this if you think it might be helpful for your staff or students. Enjoy!
