Building a Blog in Blogger
- The Blog Hunt: What to Look for When You Look at Blogs
For several of the blogs listed on the BlogLog page, please answer the following questions. We suggest you examine blogs from each of the categories--pedagogical, professional, personal, and educators on--and we urge you select titles after you've reviewed the list so that we do not all look at the same three or four blogs. Thank you.
- What is the blog's purpose? How does the blogger communicate her purpose? How well does the blog communicate its purpose?
- Does the blog address or target a particular audience? If so, how? How might you describe a representative audience member?
- In what ways does the blog engage the reader visually?
- What elements are present? For example, are there links, video clips, photographic images, graphic images, text, etc.? How do these elements help communicate a message?
- Does the blog elicit response? If so, how and/or what kinds of response are evident? To what extent are readers invited to participate: to comment or to post?
- What can you learn from the blog's title and URL?
- And Now for a Little History: Catherine's Story
- Preparing to Blog
What will you name your blog, and what URL will you chose? How might you organize it? (Please be sure to include room for the following elements: vocabulary, related reading, tech-project development, troubleshooting, and FAQs/TechTips.)
