Blog Project

Blog Project-

Description: noun- blog (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"
verb- (read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal)

Purpose: We are going to create a blog using blogspot.com because it is free and works nicely with gmail accounts which all students should have through Santa Rosa Academy. The blog is a tool people use to write and share ideas with others and has become sort of a big deal in the online community. I want to use this blog for students to ask each other questions and for help with assignments in this class and other classes as well. Students will be expected to follow my blog and post on theirs twice a week.
