Chapter 3 Weblogs: Get Started!


I focused on how to add pictures and other forms of media to Blogger.  It is really very simple to add pictures to your post and I highly recommend it.  It makes the post more interesting especially if your students are viewing it as an assignment.  Just remember when you show them how to do it, you follow the regulations for safety and copyrights.  While experimenting using this section of the chapter I was able to post video as well.  Most Blogs have enough space and allow uploading media.  A couple great blog sites mentioned were Edublogs.org and 21Casses.com.  I checked both sites out and they are either free or very inexpensive, both look simple to use.
