Tasks for Monday, 22nd July.

You are to do the following in today's lesson...

1. Use your blogger account to write a blog post. This should be about what you did at the weekend. Make sure you only call people by their first names and do not write their full names (so, for example, mention Juan, NOT Juan Moreno....).
2. Insert a youtube video into it (see link below)
3. Decide which you find better and easier to blog with: blogger or edublogs.
4. Write a blog post, in your favourite blogging platform (blogger or edublogs), about which one you prefer.

Think about the following:

Which one do you find easier to use? Why?

Which one do you think is easier to create blog posts with? Why?

Which one looks better (is better laid out)? Why?

Which one has more features? What features does your chosen platform (blogger or edublogs) have that the others don't (for example, embedding youtube videos, widgets, images etc).

YOUR Blogs

I have created a blogger account for everyone who has an edublogs account. Your task is to now evaluate which platform (edublogs or blogger) you find better to use.

These are the following addresses for your blogs. Please visit and comment on each other's as well!
