30 Days of Google #3: Create a Blogger blog

Submitted by Fiona Beal

One of the first things I think any teacher who is interested in technology-integration should do is create their own classroom blog.  A classroom blog can transform your class even if the only computer in the class is yours – your laptop! It will give the parents a peek into the classroom setup, and it will join you to a whole lot of new blogging teacher friends around the world. You can involve your students in your blog in so many exciting ways.  Google’s Blogger is a great blogging platform that gives ample free space, and it is also very attractive to look at and user-friendly to use.

So, take the challenge and see if my instructions will help you.

Once you have created your blog there will be other  questions you will come up with. So the next Slideshare looks at the following questions and provides screenshots:

1.How can people join my blog?

2.How can I
add a
blogroll to
my blog?

3.How can I edit a post I have just
written?

4.How can I
change my
background
template?

5.How can I
set up my
