Blogging

Dear Students,

I hope you enjoyed the lesson today. For more information about using blogs as a resource you can visit this article from the British Council website.

Over the next few days I hope that many of you will post comments on the blog, and hopefully some of you will create new posts (you have my username and password, follow the instructions I gave you). Some of you have said that you would like to start your own blog, I am happy to assist next week (I'm not here on Friday), however in the meantime you might find that you are able to do it yourself, just go to www.blogspot.com and follow the instructions (if you do start your own blog, don't forget to post a link on Permians2!).

Finally a piece of advice, don't forget that with so many other things in life, using computers and blogging is often a question of "trial and error"' ... if an icon looks interesting, don't be afraid to click on it, if it links you through to another website that's good, if nothing happens you have lost nothing in trying. As you know, making mistakes is part of learning, it's all part of the experiential process ... mistakes are fine, experimenting is fantastic, and anyway I believe it's almost impossible to damage the university computers!

Once again, happy blogging!
