Creating Your Own Blog Assignment Number One

Your first assignment in this class is to create your own blog. You will use this blog to hand in assignments, share your thoughts with your classmates, and give your classmates constructive feedback. Watch the video tutorial below to learn how to set up your personal blog.

As you use and make posts to your blog, you need to follow some simple rules:

1. Think about your audience. You should gear your posts toward an adult audience. Your teachers, parents, and fellow students will be looking at your blog. 
2. Make sure you read and follow all directions for an assignment. 
3. Always proofread before you post. Check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. You should also be careful about the images and videos you choose to post. Make sure you look at copyright laws and always give credit to your source. 
4. Final check: Would you be okay with your parents, grandparents, future employers, and others throughout the world knowing you through this post? If the answer is "yes", then publish. If the answer is "no", then keep editing. This is YOUR digital footprint.
