Welcome to Blogland!


Thanks for checking out this blog. I intend to use this as a teaching tool during keyboarding class.
Just a few quick rules: First off, be respectful, tolerant and positive in your comments. Anything else will not be posted and rejected. Second, you must post to my blog to earn your class participation grade for that day. We will blog on many days, but not all days. Thirdly, I will read your comments. They must be grammatically correct and proofread. We will talk about this before you leave your first comment. Check out the handout "Blogs That Suck." Fourth, have fun!
Tell the class what you think of this. For this and  all comments, remember to respond with a full paragraph (3-5 sentences).

I think blogging would make class more interesting. It gives the class something to look forward to whether it's a funny video or disturbing summary. :)

The idea of taking part in a blog sounds like a fantastic idea. I have never written on one and it seems like an experience I should try my hand at. For this reason, I look forward to the blogs to come.

Personally, I like the idea of blogging. It seems like a fun way to make keyboarding more interesting and exciting. Thanks for giving us this oppertunity.

I think that blogging is a pretty good idea. We don't have to alway type on word, by using a blog we can just type what we think and post it without printing it out and the teacher grading it. That's just too much work.

Unknown said...

I think that this blogging thing wil be ok i not much a blooger but if we have to do it i guess i will. I understand what your rules are and how you will grade us apon this is agreeable. I also think that blogging is away of experiing feeling

Unknown said...

I think your blog is a little plain but cute for a teacher. (no offense). This is a great way to keep in touch with your students. I have never blogged before so this is a great experience for me. Thank you.

I think blogging is a cool. I like to blog because it lets me express myself. I hope there will be more interesting topics to blog about. Well, it’s better than doing bookwork all class period.

Unknown said...

I believe that this blog could actually be fun in a way. We are able to say our thoughts about a certain subject. It is a easy grade, it wont take much and/or long to do. If we were to do this all the time for grades everybody would pass with no problem.

Unknown said...

I thank blogging will be really fun. It is a fun way to let people to know what you are saying and how you feel. It’s one way to let people know how you are felling and how you are today.

I think that blogging at school would be fun. I've already done one at the middle school and it was pretty cool. This one might be the same.

lisa said...

This is Ja'Lisa I'm thinking that blogging is going to be fun. I never use this before and is looking forward to having a wonderful time blogging with my teacher and friends maybe.

Allen said...

This blog may be a really cool idea. It will let us talk about things without getting graded for them. It will be better than bookwork in my opinion.

jerk king said...

I think its fun but it has to many rules. I think we should be able to use slang. It makes it kind of boring when we are not allowed.

Blogging is a great ability to do on the computer. It let's everyone to search the web on thing they like to do, then tell how they feel about something. When you are blogging you should understand to be polite to what others blog. Blogging is a worldwide activity while millions of people cram hatred to others blog.

Unknown said...

I think it's a good idea to blog we can do more and have fun. You can express yourself tell who you really are.

Mary said...

I think that blogging is a good idea. By using a blog we can just type what we think about a certain subject and hear others opinions on them. It is also more interesting than the book work.

I think day light savings time is good because theres more sunlight in the evening hours, with the expense of having less in the morining. Arizona is the only state that doesn't observe daylight savings time. All train stations fall back or stop for an hour.
