Day 15 Connected Educator Month: Become a Blogger

It’s time to start your journey as a blogger, which is an important step along the way to building your personal learning network. Before we get started with your first blog post, watch the video below "Blogs in Plain English," for a brilliantly simple explanation of blogs. Then, you’ll get started with your first blog post.

Create your first blog post on your new edublog. (If you’re already a blogger, you can follow these instructions, just use your existing blog.)

• Here’s a guide to writing your first post. Write a reflective post address- ing the expectations of what you’d like to gain in your month-long journey as a connected educator. Maybe also write about what you’ve learned so far or a tool that’s sparked your interest.
• Blogging begins with reading. Below are several blogs to choose from. Read a post on at least three to give you a sampling of some great educational blogs. Then leave a comment on at least one post.
• Connected Educator Month
• Powerful Learning Practice
• Voices from the Learning Revolution
• The Fischbowl – Karl Fisch
• Free Technology for Teachers
• Middleweb
• The Edublog Awards site is another great place to find blogs to follow.

Congratulations! You’ve now become part of the conversation!
