Week 2: Taking Steps into the Blogosphere

Welcome to your second week!

I hope that everyone had a chance to become a little more familiar with our Learning 2.0 website and have taken a glance at the various tasks that are in store for the next couple of months. Please remember that the program has been developed in a "building-block" manner as to enable us to learn about some of these newer technologies in small easy-to-manage steps. We will all work together to guarantee the success of everyone involved. In fact, I have already noticed that some of you have begun to add your own comments to some of the task postings in an effort to help each other along. Natural born bloggers!

Now we come to the more fun & creative part in our learning process, which begins with the need to set up our blogs & begin actively tracking our progress. Start by reading the brief article below that gives a fuller explanation of blogs and then click on the links for this week's 3 Things. Each task will compose of steps to assist you in creating your blogs, becoming familiar with publishing your own posts and commenting to those of others. Once I receive the URL of your blog, it will be added to the "Participant Blogs" page so that we can all share in each other's process.
