- Go to www.Blogger.com and create an account and a public blog and post the URL to the “Blogger Addresses” discussion forum.
- Post problems/questions or solutions about creating your blogger space to the technology discussion forum (I will be monitoring the site so I can answer questions as they come up).
- Post to the Reading Discussions forum Note: No matter what else you are doing, you should be doing this every day!
- Check out the “Genre Review” forum for notes on the requirements of Reading Discussion posts – ask questions in this forum!) Note: As the semester progresses, you’ll keep going back to this forum as you have questions about class activities or as you find stuff out that you want to share.
