Greetings!

Hi all,

So, here's a blog about how to start blogging on your blog... blog blog blog. You know when you say a word too many times and it stops making sense?

Anyway, at its simplest, it's a good place to store powerpoints and lessons notes so students can access them, but you can develop it to be a forum for peer assessment, formative assessment on students' own work and a great portal or hub to start students off on independent study and wider reading.

Until I work out how to get the posts to show in reverse order, use the archive tab below and to the right of this message to search for posts - step 1, 2 and 3 are first. In that order. but you knew that already...

Step 1 - signing up.

So, first up you need to sign up. If you already have a google account and are happy using that, you can just sign in. But if not you can enter your school email address and create a password. You may be asked to verify that you're not a robot and have to put in your mobile phone number; a PIN will be texted to you which you then type into the prompt box. This happens about 50% of the time. I've never heard from them since, so there's no SPAM texts attached to doing this, but I do keep hearing from some peson called Kelly.... hmmm!

Sign up here - just click 'sign in' at the top right corner. Or the URL is www.blogger.com

You can actually watch a video of all of this by clicking here. Or keep on scrolling down if you want to.

So, by end of step one you'll see a screen like this.

Just click the big orange arrow.
