.What the heck are Blogs ?
.

  • A blog is an easy-to-use website, where you can quickly post discussions, thoughts, interact with people, and more. We will use a blog instead of Discussions in Canvas to post questions and answers for just about anything having to do with the class. PLEASE DO NOT POST PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE BLOG. If a student is asking a question, I will post a response and other students may post responses. Blogging is a social tool we will use for improving communications in the class.
     
  • You will receive a blog invitation in your personal email in the first week of class. You must be invited to join the blog before you are able to login and read or post comments on the blog. When you receive the invitation to join the blog, follow the instructions carefully. It is very important that you get this accomplished in the first week of the course because the blog will have further information for how to proceed in the class.
     
  •  Only students who have been invited may use the blog. Check your personal email for the blog invitation. If you do not see it in your Inbox, check Trash or Spam.
     
  • If your personal email address does not work for joining the blog, create a Gmail account and email me from the new email address.
     
  • When you first login to the blog, read what I have posted there. If you want to comment back on a posting, click the link near the bottom of the posting, “Comments”. .
     
  • If you are not able to post a discussion or comment to a posting after you join the blog, contact me immediately by email. My email address for your class is on Watson's Website and in your class syllabus.
     
  • You will not need to create your own blog, so do not login to Blogger and attempt to create your own blog for this class. Use the blog invitation to join the blog.
     
  • Be sure to check in several times a week for postings on the blog. I look forward to blogging and having fun with the class as we learn and use this Internet technology!

Blogger Basics

The sooner you join the blog, the sooner you will be able to ask questions and get answers.
