More Information on Blogs

Hi Teachers,
Here are some resources for you to look at to give you more information about blogs.

  1. What are blogs? Visit http://myspace.com, and http://livejournal.com/ to view examples of blogs.
  2. Can I read more about blogs? Visit http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2005/12/001246.php and http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2006/07/001525.php to read articles pertaining to advantages and disadvantages of blogging.

Finally, here are directions for you to set up an account and post a message on this blog.

  1. While at our blog, click the icon that says, “0 comments.” (or however many comments we happen to have)
  2. This willl take you to a page containing a box that says, “Leave your comment.” If you have a Google account, type a message in the box. If not, create a Google account by clicking, “Sign up here.”
  3. After clicking, “Sign up here,” enter your Holy Family School email account, create a password, and enter a display name, which is simply the name that appears on the blog when you post messages. After typing the word verification, and clicking the box that says, “I accept the terms of service,” click the “Continue” button.
  4. Then, you will be taken back to the original page containing the box, “Post a comment.” Write a comment, and click, “Publish your comment.”
  5. After doing this, at the top of the screen, click on the hyperlink that says, “the original post” in order to view the blog with the new comments.

Now you are all set to use our blog successfully and easily!

Since my son has his own blog on sports journalism, I guess I should learn how to navigate this part of Google!

I think this would be great for my more advanced homework assignments! Students are always conference calling, but parents aren't always supportive of the hour or so students spend on the phone. This is a way to monitor what is being said and will keep the conversation focused. Thanks, Laura!

This is very similar to blackboard. I used it when I took two online reading courses. I actually participated in the discussion more on line that I probably would have in class.

After getting more than 10000 visitors/day to my website I thought your hfsteachers.blogspot.com website also need unstoppable flow of traffic...

Use this BRAND NEW software and get all the traffic for your website you will ever need ...

In testing phase it generated 867,981 visitors and $540,340.

Then another $86,299.13 in 90 days to be exact. That's $958.88 a
day!!

And all it took was 10 minutes to set up and run.

But how does it work??

You just configure the system, click the mouse button a few
times, activate the software, copy and paste a few links and
you're done!!

Click the link BELOW as you're about to witness a software that
could be a MAJOR turning point to your success.
