To begin with today...

Please log in to Glogster. In the lower right corner, find the link "Best Glogs." Click on the link and look at at a number of Glogs.

What makes them good Glogs? What specifically did they do that got them on the Best Glogs list? Think about how things are organized, colors and tools used, information on the Glog, etc.

Be prepared to share your thoughts with the class.

Prezi

Today we worked with a presentation tool called Prezi.  Remember, you can access this from home as well as school.  You can also post the Prezi you created in class today on your blog.

Tomorrow, we will share our Prezis and begin work on Google Presentations.

Work from Home

Remember...all of the tools you are learning about in class are accessible from home.  When you go to www.google.com, you will see a banner at the top of the window.  One of the options you will see is "Drive." If you click on this, you will be taken to your Google Docs account.  If you click on "More," you will be taken to your Blogger account.

Questions?

If you have questions that we didn't get to answer in class, please use the comments option to post your question to the blog and we can post an answer.

Some of these are working

We started to create our blogs and thought everything was going smoothly...until we hit the "Create Blog" button and it didn't work for everyone.

Take a Look

Check out these daily news blogs to see if you'd like to follow them on your Reader.  The stories are selected by kids who work with journalists.
