Connected Educator Month @iES
Day 15 - Become a Blogger
Become a Blogger
It’s time to start your journey as a blogger, which is an important step along the way to building your personal learning network. Before we get started with your first blog post, watch this video: Blogs in plain English, for a brilliantly simple explanation of blogs. Then, you’ll get started with your first blog post.
Create your first blog post on your new edublog. (If you’re already a blogger, you can follow these instructions, just use your existing blog.)
Here’s a guide to writing your first post. Write a reflective post addressing the expectations of what you’d like to gain in your month-long journey as a connected educator. Maybe also write about what you’ve learned so far or a tool that’s sparked your interest.
Blogging begins with reading. Below are several blogs to choose from
– read a post on at least three to give you a sampling of some great educational blogs. Then leave a comment on at least one post.
- Powerful Learning Practice
- Voices from the Learning Revolution
- The Fischbowl – Karl Fisch
- Free Technology for Teachers
- MacMillan Dictionary Blog
- Middleweb
- The Edublog Awards site is another great place to find blogs to follow.
Congratulations! You’ve now become part of the conversation!
Tomorrow we’ll check out some Connected Educator month guided tours!
