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).

  9. 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.

  15. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  32. 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.
