January 28 Part B

I want you to blog on someone that you admire or what like to be like. It can be an athlete, musician, or actor/actress. Let me know why you want to be like this person, and what qualities they possess that you would like to have. I want you to find a picture of this person and post it on your blog as well.

Do good work on these, if you are doing these blogs as a waste of time, we are going to quit doing them. I will be grading them today!

January 28 Part A

Do your first blog on any rule that you would change within the school. Would you want to wear hats, dip in class, wear skirts...whatever...I just want to know one rule that you think should be allowed! Why do you think it needs to be changed? What are the reasons do you think that we have the rule in place anyway....

Write and let me know what you think needs to be changed.....

Today I want you to blog on whatever you want. Think of any topic, just try and write about whatever you are feeling, or whatever is going on in your world. You can talk about what you are doing this weekend, or what you have going on later today. Just take the time to go over your own thoughts and type them out. Take the time to customize your blog as well. Change the backgroud. I also want you to follow my blog so I can keep track of your work more easily.

Go to google.com and type in blogger widgets to add widgets to the side of the page. I will walk around and help you if you can't figure out how to add them. Customize the blog! Get your profile done completely! I'll be grading tomorrow!

January 7th

Aloha!This is your first blog assignment. Since we are now up and blogging in the classroom, I want you to find out what it is and how other people have used it in the classroom. Take a look at the link below and other people's websites and how blogs are used in the class.

http://classroomblogging.wikispaces.com/Blog+Examples

I want you to write two paragraphs. The first is what you think a blog is and how it can be used in our class. Do you think it's lame, boring, cool, or ______? Fill in the blank. Don't try to be too cool and say it's lame. Think about what we are doing and compare it to other classes and see what you think.On paragraph two, I want you to write about how you think a blog could be useful in other classes that you have. Would you like to see this in other classes, or do you think it would be a waste of time? Do you think other teachers would be able to do this in their class.

Basically I want your opinion on what a blog is, how it is used, and what we can do with this. Remember I am going to be grading these so the more content you have, the better your grade is. I want you to put effort into this, because you are working on your own, and I am grading your thoughts. There are no right or wrong answers. I want at least 4-5 sentences in each paragraph.When you are done, go through and make sure that you're profile is complete and that you have a picture of yourself or something that interests you on it. Make sure that your blog is set up how you want it. Also, go through and find other peoples blogs and leave comments on what they write about on today's assignments.

I look forward to seeing what you do with these assignments! I am here to make this fun for you, and not like a normal class. I want you to try though, if I am giving you the opportunity to do your own work!

Aloha!
