Creating your Blog
Welcome back!
For starters today…
Did You Know? 4.0 by Karl Fisch
As we create our blogs: Blogs in Plain English
1) To create your blog, click above on the “Resources for Creating a Blog” tab. Links to Creative Commons image search engines: FlickrStorm andFlickrCC
If you need more resources for images that are ok to use with attribution, look at the list here.
Good etiquette to follow in your blog:
- If you mention a website, link to it.
- If you mention an online persona, link to that person’s website.
- Don’t forget to add tags and give your post a category (aren’t these great skills for students?)
- If you use an image, include an attribution and link to it. This means link to the specific webpage the image resides on. Example, for the photo above, I have included all this in order to give proper attribution:
- Don’t use student photos (or any other photos) without permission.
2) There are more resources if you scroll down to #6 on the links (rt. side of this page).
Web 2.0
