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 2 - design

You'll be sent through a couple of options screens and asked to choose a background. I picked this pretty one with flowers and dandylions because it makes me feel all summery.

When you're done, click the big 'start posting' arrow and you'll see a screen like this one. If you can type in the box, you're off. Click 'preview' if you want to see what your post will look like, and then 'publish post' when you're done.




You may well see a little grey circle in the middle of the writing pane, ghoing around and around. If you do, click on 'settings' in the menu bar at the top.




Scroll down to where it says 'global settings' and change the 'post editor' to 'old version.




Save these settings and you should be able to type now. Again, click 'publish post' when you're done.
