Hey West Ranch teachers! Thanks for coming to my blogging workshop today! Here is the presentation I shared with you:
How do I get started with all that cool stuff you showed us today?
POSTEROUS SPACES - http://www.posterous.com
This is the most basic blogging format, and I recommend this for beginners. I still use Posterous as my source blog for MrIppolito.com.
Posterous is great because you can EASILY attach a Word, PDF, PPT, audio, or video file, and it automatically hosts it.
I most love Posterous because there is an Autopost feature that allows me to automatically post blog entries to Facebook, Twitter, Flikr, YouTube, etc. Autopost is taking it to the next level, so I would definitely start with the simple blog first.
BLOGGER - http://www.blogger.com
You'll need a free Google account to get started with Blogger. Blogger has more bells and whistles than Posterous, but just like Posterous you can still blog via e-mail.
And then here are lots of sample teacher websites:
Here is the blog I created just for today:
