We will be using our blog for a variety of things. Our class blog will be for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. It's main purpose will be for you to learn about blogs and what they are used for. We will also use the blog to post assignments, showcase work, or simply have class discussions.
Once an assignment is posted, you will have a specific period of time within which to respond. You may respond to the blog from class, home, the library or any other place that you might have access to the Internet.
Before we begin, there are ground rules that must be set and followed. Note that if these are not followed you may receive a zero on the assignment(s). Please follow the rules!
- All posts must use school appropriate language. When you post, you must write in complete sentences using proper grammar and spelling. Do not use: u, r, ur, b4, cuz, etc.
- When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm, judgment, and/or put-downs. You must state how you feel and why.
- You must comment on every article, topic, or question from me - it is an assignment - and your response should thoughtfully address each topic and question posted on the blog. You cannot simply write “I agree.”
1. How much do you know about blogging?
2. Have you ever used or hosted a blog?
3. What might you use a blog for personally?
I actually don’t know too much about blogging. I think I blogged in foods class back in the JR High, but I didn’t care for it. I will use this to see that people’s opinions are about things.
ReplyDeleteI do not know anything about blogs and have never used one before. I have also never hosted a blog. I think you might use a blog personally for talking with friends, discussing stuff like homework, and also using it as a kind of diary.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know that much about blogging, I just know that it’s kind of like twitter; you have followers and you can follow other’s posts. I have never had a blog before or hosted a blog. Blogging was never something I was very interested in. I might use a blog personally to stay connected to what other people are saying.
ReplyDeleteAll I know about blogging is that you can share your thoughts and feelings with people, or just to use it as a diary. I have used a blog before but it was mainly for pictures. What you would use a blog for personally would be to write your feelings, and communicate with other people about things they’ve wrote. Also, teachers might have a blog to let their students know assingments and things like that.
ReplyDeleteI know how to use a blog and how to post comments on other blogs that I am following. Besides for that, I don’t really know much else about blogging. I have never hosted a blog, so I do not know how to do that. But, I have used a blog, by responding to the post with comments. I know how to respond to other blogs, but not how to host my own blog. To use a blog personally you might have a blog talking about your interests and things about you such as what your hobbies are, and more.
ReplyDeleteA blog is where you can talk about your personal life, inform people about a certain topic, or use it for school related things between a teacher and student(s). I have never hosted a blog, but I had to use one for my Honors English class in the beginning of the trimester. We had to post comments relating to her question about a certain book. If I were to use a blog personally I would probably use it as a type of diary about interesting events that happen day to day. I could also use it for my family to stay in touch and know what’s happening.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I know about blogging is that one person starts the discussion and the rest just comment on it. I have never used a blog before but, I think I might use blogging to talk to people and stay connected with friends.

ReplyDeleteI do not know much about a blog because I have never used one before. I have never been exposed to what a blog can do so I do not know how it works. I have never hosted a blog before. You may use a blog for many reasons such as keeping in touch with friends and family, posting about ideas, and expressing how you feel about a certain topic.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about blogging. None of my classes have went over blogging and we’ve never needed to learn until this summer, I had to comment on my Honor’s English teacher’s blog posts. That is the only time I’ve used anything that had to do with blogging. I have never hosted a blog before either. You might use a blog personally to express how you feel at a certain period in time or if you want to teach others something you know and they might not know.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about blogging besides how to post. I do know that a blog is similar to a forum where people can discuss topics through postings. I also know that a blog is usually about a specific topic but that is all. I have used a blog for English class but all I had to do was post comments. I’ve never hosted a blog and have no idea how to set one up. If I had a personal blog I would probably use it to discuss common interests with people like movies, books, television shows, and music.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about blogging because I have never used it before.Ive heard about it like a lot of new sites use it I think because they have lots of debates over world news for everyone to look at. If I ever had to do a blog I think I would do mine on a daily workout schedule.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about Blogging, but I do know that a blog is something where you can post information to other people. I have never personally blogged or done anything with blogs, the only time I have every used a blog is in school. I have never hosted a blog before on my own time, and in school. If I did blog I would probably use it for sports, music and other stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about blogs, but I do know that a blog is where people post their thoughts and often their feelings. I know that people also use blogs as diaries and also as a website for other people to look at for information on something. I have never used a blog personally before, and have never made one, but there are people that I know that have a few blogs going at once. Personally I would use the blog to blogs reviews on books that I read because I get most of my book ideas from other peopled blogs like that. I write books in my spare time so when I read new books or reviews I can get an idea for other writing styles that I like to use when I write.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don’t know anything about blogging. I have never used or hosted a blog. Something I might use a blog for personally would be for assignments in school, news, and talk to people like facebook. Other than that I don’t know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know anything about blogging. I’ve had a blog on tumblr but I never posted anything original, I just re-blogged things that other people posted. You might use a blog to share things that you're doing, as your diary or to post pictures that you want to share with other people.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know anything about blogging. I haven’t ever used blogging either. As a guess I think you’d use blogging to inform people on a topic or you can create a blog on something you like and others can join if they like the same topic. If I had to create a blog I think it would be about my favorite T.V. show or one of my biggest interests.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know much about blogger or blogging so hopefully I will learn a lot about blogging and how to use a blog. I have heard about a blog from watching TV and many other things around the house but have never actually seen one or have written something inside. Sometimes I ask myself this question “Who uses a blog, that seems really stupid to even post onto to one because it’s just like commenting onto to somebody post on facebook or something.” Never hosted a blog in my whole entire life of being on this earth but that will probably change in this class. You might use a blog for a class discussion or like a trendy topic and get people to comment and get their opinion.
ReplyDeletehave done blogging once in the past couple years but I don’t remember what to do. I know that a lot of people post out blogs’ see on movies that a lot of people do blogging but I tried to help my friend on hers once but I don’t have my own.ive used my friends before because she wanted me to see what it was like but It was a long time ago.ive never hosted a blog. What I would use a blog for would be to talk about daily things I guess, because I don’t know what else to use a blog for.
ReplyDeleteI really don’t know much about blogging. I have never used a blog at all in my life. But I have heard about blogging I heard it is kind of like a diary. I have never hosted a blog either. You might use it to talk to one another kind of like facebook or you could use it as a diary.
ReplyDeleteI do not know anything about blogging and I have never used a blog before either. None of my classes that I have taken used a blogger. I have never used or hosted a blog before; I don’t even know how to use a blog. You could use a blog personally for talking to your friends about homework assignments or projects. Also you can use blogger for business related things.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know a single thing about bloggin,ive never seen it,heard of it and didn’t know theirs sites for it .i would use it persionaly for bussness/work and to get ahold of people.my blog spot would be way of getting ahold of friends and knowing whats going on.
ReplyDeleteI know that blogging can be used to comunicate with others about a wide veriety of subjects. Others peoples opinions are a main thing for this site. I haven't used this site very much, except for an assignment over the summer I had for Honors English which required us to comment on questions my teacher posted over two books that we read. I do not have a blog of my own; nor have I ever hosted one before. Though, if I did hold a blog I might use it to talk about swimming. For example, meets that are coming up, times that people are getting and what others think about them, ideas for what to work on in practice to improve strokes, and comparisons of practices and teams.
ReplyDeleteTruth is, I don’t know anything about blogging. I’m not really sure what the point of them is. The only time I’ve ever heard anyone talk about blogging was on T.V. and they didn’t get very detailed about it. I’ve never hosted or used a blog and I don’t know anyone else who has either. I guess that you might use a blog as a diary.
