OUR GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP



First, I want you to get a sense of comment assignments that I use in my classroom.

Second, I want you to share your impressions from the posts and borrow ideas (or do the exact opposite!)

Third, I want you to create own "Bloggin' Bonanza" and begin creating  comment assignments (and post assignments if you want--students post on blog) that you can import into course blogs you use in the future. 


Fourth, as we work through the third step, we will help each other with the basic functions of blogger. 

Fifth, we will discuss the pros and cons of blogging in the classroom and then go over more advanced features of blogger (importing and exporting blogs, embedding video, formatting posts . 







Fortunately, I don't care if we don't meet all the goals.
