Blogs

Page history last edited by ann zimmer 6 mos ago

What is a blog:

Your blog can host two kinds of pages. The home page of your blog is the interactive section. Here, the owner of the blog shares thoughts, questions, and prompts for their subscribers to read and comment on. These are called posts, and are automatically organized with the most recent ones on the top. Older posts are saved automatically, and are always available on the blog. The owner of the blog can also create "pages" which do not have the interactive feature of the homepage. This is a great way to share information about your classroom with parents.

Check out this great video that explains blogs in common language.
