Hello 1st Hour and Welcome to your class blog!! We will use this blog for many purposes in this class. Our main purpose will be to learn about blogs and what they are used for. We will also use them to post assignments, do journal entries or simply have class discussions.
My goal is to do one post per week. The blog will be posted on Monday and you have until the following Friday to complete the questions on the blog by leaving a comment. Some posts will be required to be finished in class as an assignment.
Before we begin blogging there are a few ground rules to be set!
1. All posts, must use appropriate school language and completed in paragraph form. When you post, you should be using complete sentences with proper grammar and spelling. NO: U, R, UR, i, CUZ, etc.
2. When Posting a comment, you may agree or disagree with another students comment. However, you must state why you feel that way and must do it in a manner that is polite and non-judgmental. The comments need to be non-personal and refrain from sarcasm and put-downs.
3. You must comment on every article, it is an assignment.
4. You must address the topics and questions posted on the blog. You cannot simply write, “I agree.”
Your first assignment:Your job today will be to introduce yourself. Provide some background information, discuss things you enjoy doing, your family, and your future plans. Then answer the following Questions:
1. What do you already know about blogging?
2. Have you ever used/hosted a blog?
3. What would you use a blog for in your personal life?
