Blog Accounts and Passwords


Directions for creating a blog site


How to set up your school blog site.
Remember, you do not have to use Blogger.com. There are other blog sites on the internet. It’s just the one that I started working with and seems easy to use. Let use know if you find better sites!

1st, open the internet and go to the website www.blogger.com
Click on the orange arrow and follow the directions
You will need to type in an e mail address. We have provided new school email accounts for all elementary classes. See below for you specific address and passwords.
You need to enter a display name. This is something that identifies your class blog site. For example, I use “AST Elementary Tech Lab”
Type in the word verification you will see at the bottom of the screen.
Check the box for acceptance of terms.
You might have to type your password several times.

Now, hopefully you are on step 2
Make a Blog Title
Example: I used “AST Elementary Tech Lab” again.
You will be asked for a Blog Address (URL) I chose the suggested one. Probably make it similar to your blog title.
Now the fun stuff: Choose a template
Then you will see a screen saying “You blog has been created!”
Click on Start posting!

We have a school blog site. Oct 31st.

We made it! The 3C class of Ms. Klooster posted thier favorite writing sample so far this year.
There are about 25 posts, all students could get on the blog site at the same time, and make their post.
Hopefully there are many more school blog sites to come.
The blogger address is : 3c@amschool.org and the pass is 3camschool.
Voila!

Talked with Jose Manuel yesterday. I can get classroom e mail addresses like this example.
3c@amschool.org

the next step is to talk with one of the teachers, probablySarah K and see if we can put a writing sample on the website.

It's been a few days, and I have not thought much about it.
I've been doing quarter grades, and exporting them to Roy.
I still need to talk w/ Jose M to see if I can get some e mail addresses at Amschool.org for the various classes, then have students start adding their work to the site.
