PE Tech mini lesson 1

Objective

• Create a space where we can display our information using Blogger.com.

Introduction

Now that we have all of this great information and activities involved with our new technology, where can we go to show others what we are doing and how it is benefiting the students? This is when we create a simple site where parents, students and administrators can see what we are doing and how we are learning.

Creating the Site

1. The first thing that you will need to do in order to create a site is to start by creating a Google account. You can do this by going to www.Google.com and click on the Sign in/Create button. Follow the simple steps to create a Google account. You will need a Google account because Blogger is a Google App and you use Google account to log into your site.

2. You will then visit 'www,Blogger.com' and click on the "Create Your Blog Now" button. It will prompt you for your Google account login information.

3. Your next step will be to give your blog a name. You will also at this time create the domain name as well, so make it unique, but not so complicated that no one will ever find it.

4. Once your domain and title are accepted, you will be prompt to choose a template.(Don't fret over this choice, because you can completely change everything once you are more comfortable navigating the options)

5. After you choose a template, your site is now live and you can begin adding tabs, lists, blogs posts that other can comment on, etc.. There are so many possibilities to customize to your own preferences, that you should start simple and move forward as your comfort level grows.
