Guidelines For Posting

A few guidelines to follow before starting your blogging journey...

The style of your blogging experience is up to you. The blogging standard involves a lot of personal reflection, be it on daily events, long term goals, personal or professional. Whatever strikes you! While your post should contain no less than 350 words, there is no maximum word count with this... Feel free to express yourself in as many words as you feel comfortable.

I encourage you to utilize the tool bar when creating posts! "Play" with the tool bar; include hyperlinks in your posts; add audio (podcast style) clips to your blog or complete your blog post with audio technology alone; photos are also welcome to enhance your blogging experience (for yourself and your reading public). For example, if you have a class anecdote that relates to the topic at hand, by all means, include it within your post! If you have student work samples you want to include, attach them to share! If you want to make your posts significantly more personal, try creating a VoiceThread to share...

There's nothing wrong with enhancing your blog with a combination of voice, pictures, and text. These additions make for a more authentic reading experience for myself, your colleagues, and the outside audience (if you wish to make your blog public). If you don't feel comfortable with additional technologies, that's alright too!

Please note that it is possible to revise your posts at any time!
