When setting up this blog, the only difficult part was choosing from all of the options! Background color, text color, format, link color, font style...the list goes on...
The easy part was signing into my Blogger account (already established from a previous blog), and clicking on "Create a New Blog". Then, after about a half an hour of playing with the different settings, I finally forced myself to stop and make a decision. With my group's approval, Blogtastic was born!
Now, I am someone who likes to talk (or in this case, type), a lot. Therefore, one of the biggest struggles I am going to have with this blog is the recommended length of 100-200 words for each post. Sometimes, I feel like that is barely enough to get me started.
Regardless, the simplicity of setting up this blog is definitely a plus for teachers who might be nervous about trying to incorporate one into their classroom. If you are one of those teachers, I recommend just diving in and starting a blog for yourself! Once you become familiar with the process, you'll be more comfortable taking it a step further to your students.
From there, the possibilities are endless...
I agree I had to set up a blog account for another class as well. The difficult part was figuring out what background to choose and what color fonts would be appropriate. I love color so it was hard for me to choose because I wanted everything to be colorful. But I also had to keep in mind that this is a blog for school and it has to be appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be interesting to see what opportunities this blog opens up for me. I have never blogged before so it will be a new and exciting experience for me. I believe sharing ideas and experiences will help everyone out as we are all in a learning process.
