Why are we blogging?


You are creating a blog in this class for a few reasons.  We can use our blogs as an online portfolio of assignments, a way to track your progress throughout the semester, a place to post pictures, links, video and resources about the topics we are learning about, and online collaboration between students in the class.  I want you to follow each other and read other peoples posts in the class.

Many of you have a blog already, but if not, to get started you need a gmail account.  Along the top bar, under MORE, you will find Blogger, where you can easily start your new blog using your gmail account as a login.

Add this blog (phillipshkcoop.blogspot.com) to your reading list so that you can easily see any of my posts.  Also, add a few classmates to your reading list so that their blog posts become part of your reading list.

Come and tell me your URL so that I can find your blog and see your posts.

My email address is: phillips_k@surreyschools.ca

Once your blog is set up & you have given me your URL I would like you to make your first HK coop post -
Since we are going to be a close knit community within the coop, being together 3 blocks per day I would like you to write a post about you...
You post about whatever you want - this can be your guide if you like, but feel free to get creative...

Why did you take the co-op?
What are your plans for next year?
What activities do you like to do outside of school?
Have you done any fitness activities over the summer?
What are your fitness goals for the semester?
Add any pictures/you tube links/etc., that help you show what you like and who you are.
What is important to you & helps to define who you are?

After you have posted, add some of our classmates to your reading list, read their posts and make a comment.

Remember this is a public forum & a chance for you to create a positive digital footprint - I am hoping that your parents become involved in looking at your blog a few times to see what you are up to in our Coop.

Happy blogging!
