Blogging
Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to read all the posts related to this activity and understand your Itinerary. To begin with, you’ll need to set up your very own personal blog so you can begin to journal your experiences, discoveries, and ideas. For this program, I recommend that you use Edublogs, a popular free online blog hosting service that is extremely easy to use and designed especially for education.
Read some of these blogs:
Creating a blog using Edublogs, takes three steps:
- Create an account
- Name your blog
- Select your template
Once you’ve created your blog here are two important things to know:
- To add posts: The maintenance interface that you will use to add posts, edit or change the step-up your blog is accessed online at Be sure to write down your login and password.
- To view your blog: Your blog address is http://(xxxx).edublogs.com, (xxxx)=the unique identifier you entered in Step 2. Write down your blog address.
If you run into problems or would like more information about blogs and using Edublogs here are some tutorials and video clips you can use.
