Setting up your blog
Part I of your Technology Project for Unit 1
The Content of Your Site: Creating Your Academic Blog
Even though many of you have social blogs (i.e. Facebook), when you create your academic blog it will have a distinctly different look. You will have to create a free gmail account if you don't already have one. (The district has set this up for you via your login. SEE ME!)
Go to Blogger.com to create your site, please be sure to go to the Settings portion and select NO when it asks you if you want your site to be profiled in search engines, etc. (I want you to remain private!)
Once you have created your site, please email me your link at ajjohnson@kimberly.k12.wi.us so I am able be create a link to it on my master site, creatively titled, "Ms. Johnson's PsychoChatter" (That's as good as I get, sorry!) You can find it on http://www.msjohnsonpsychochatter.blogspot.com/
Requirements:
*Your site should be appropriate for an academic setting, following code of conduct guidelines.
*Do not put any personal identifying information on your site (no last name, age, place of residence, etc.)
*Your site should have a title - Make it unique, relevant and creative.
*Make sure fonts are easy to read and the page is not too busy -- this is an academic blog, remember!
*Always write in complete sentences and proofread your work before posting. Use the spell-checker that is part of Blogger.
*Each assignment should be specifically titled with the assignment number as well as a descriptive title.
Part 2 of your Technology Project for Unit 1:
Blog Post #1 - Introduce yourself to the class and to your Psychology teacher. Make it interesting, fun, and informational. Tell me what you like to do, what makes you tick, what your plans are post-high school. I will try to comment on everyone's post just as soon as I can.
Blog Post #2 – Follow the directions for the “Outrageous Celebrity” Assignment & post it to your blog.
