To Create A Blog you will have to type in your email address, a secret password, your name, your birthday and a word verification.
SECTION 1
First type in your your TEL email account, which is your firstname.lastname
@tel.tdsb.on.ca and then type it again in the Retype email address box. Next, enter your secret password and then enter it again in the Retype password box.
Put your first name and last name in the Display name box. Next, type in your birthday. Use the numbers of your birth month, then the numbers of your birth day, then all 4 numbers of the year of your birth.
Next, type in the word verification. It is hard to see this clearly, so try your best. If you are not sure what the word is, ask Mr. Ball for help!
Next, click in the box beside Acceptance of Terms. Then click on Continue. Sometimes when you make a mistake, you might have to enter some information again before you can continue. Don't get upset if this happens.
SECTION 2
Name your blog.
Give your blog a name in the Blog title box. Remember that you can name it whatever you want.
Blog address.
This is where you will enter the blogspot address that you would like. Type in your first choice and click on Check Availability. If it is not available, go to your second choice. If that is not available, go to your third choice, etc. Remember that you are only entering the information that comes BEFORE .blogspot.com (like froggybloggy, theponyblog, trinifood, etc). Once you have chosen an address that is available, click on Continue.
Choose a template.
This is how your blog will look. You can pick any template that you want. Once you have selected the template that you like, click on Continue. Then click on Start Blogging.
SECTION 3
Now is the time to start writing your blog posts and experimenting with the Layout. When you click on Layout you can Add a Gadget (import your pictures, add polls and surveys, add a talking head from voki, etc.) You can also change your blog's Fonts and Colours by clicking on Fonts and Colors. Remember that your blog has to look good, so make appropriate choices here as well.
You may work on your blog at home! If you don't remember how to do a step, go back to Rawkertasks for instructions! Every student blog will be linked to Rawkertech, so make sure that you do the best job you can!
Cool. :)
