Creative Blogging

This page will introduce our class to blogging. Have any of you ever read or written a blog? Do you even know what a blog is? I want to use this page to help teach you a little bit about blogs and then let you try one out!

Before we begin I want to share the meaning of the word blog. The word blog comes from two words: **web and log**. When you put them together they form the word **weblog.** It has been shortened to **blog**. A blog is like an online journal. Bloggers write what is called a post and publish it online. People read the posts and decide if they want to leave a comment about the bloggers piece of writing. This gives the writer, or blogger, a chance to see how others feel about their writing. Our class will be posting blogs and leaving comments for each other.

Please play the video below to help you get started. After the video, click [|here] to go to the page I have created at [|KidBlog.org]where we will be posting our blogs. Once you get there, I will give you your username and login so we can begin using the site.
