Filed under Ulearn07
Taken by Waikato Dio – Media Studies and English Teacher Toni Twiss
How to set up a blog (supposed to be Encouraging Reflective Teacher Practise Through Blogging)
Web + Log = BLOG
Why do people blog? – diary; Hobby; Money making; Reflective practise;
Two aspects – SOftware
Web based programme like word press
Computer software – iweb
HOSTING
Free hosting
Host your own – more freedom/flexibility, more space, control uploads, control your data, own all your content
At about this point the edubloggers website decided not to play ball and crash out while we wanted to play with out blogs…however Toni trooped on and using her own wordpress blog was able to share and teach the workshop..YAH TONI!!!
Anyway, a great workshop with some cool sites shared – twittervision, flickrvision, twitter (still getting my head around it!!). Toni also shared her site of her net surfing finds that she uses to share with her staff at Dio – possibly something I may like to look at for myself and setting up my own version of this.
So now it’s lunch and just a funny mention that I am glad that the Mini Chocolate Mudcakes were indeed the vegetarian variety – no mince in them!!
