#719 From the blogging team: Erika Cruvinel and Carla Arena

Hello B4B participants!

We are Erika Cruvinel and Carla Arena and we will be moderating our

week 2 activities. Before talking about the next tasks, We would

like to congratulate all of you for the good work in week 1. For

those of you who have not finished week 1 tasks, remember that you

can refer to all tasks at our wiki and complete them at your own

pace.

The objectives for week 2 are to understand basic blogging features

and their relevance in your teaching context; choose a bloghost and

start a blog.

We will work on three different tasks:

1. Learning about blogging jargon

2. Comparing different bloghosts

3. Starting a blog

Please access http://bloggingforbeginners.pbwiki.com/WeeklyTasks2

for instructions, tips, links and office hours.

The discussions on different bloghosts (task 2) should be posted to

our group blog http://blogs4beginners.blogspot.com/ and any doubts

on tasks 1 and 3 should be sent by email to the group.

Looking forward to lots of interaction, questions, comments and blog

URLs!

My dearest friend and partner Erika has already posted our Week 2 objectives and wiki page for you and we really hope to get as much interaction as we had in Week 1 with the fantastic moderation of Gladys and the help of some very special collaborators, the Ninas, Dennis, Carla H, Mary Hillys. You're all amazing international partners!

I've already started checking some very interesting blogs that you included in our yahoogroups links http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bloggingforbeginners/links/Participant_s_blogs001/161677674/ and was very glad to see some born-bloggers in the group!

Please, don't hesitate to email the group if you have any questions, doubts or comments. We're here to share, support and learn with you all.

Remember, that this week we start blogging and the main interaction will take place at our group blog http://blogs4beginners.blogspot.com

Dear super B4Bers,

It seems that everybody is getting his way around. Maite found herself in

our yahoogroups <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bloggingforbeginners>, some have been sharing their own blogs, and I'm having fun and learning a lot from the emails. Others have taken a step ahead and started commenting on our blog <http://blogs4beginners.blogspot.com>.

After an intense week of introductions and interactions, now it's blogging time!

The Blogging Team is looking forward to seeing your blogs on our list of participants' blogs at our yahoogroups <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bloggingforbeginners/links/Participant_s_blogs_00/1161677674/>

Please, make sure you add your blog to that list so that we don't miss any of these fantastic journals of all kinds!

If you have any doubt or suggestion, don't hesitate to contact us. Tomorrow (today, in some parts of the world!), January 23rd, Tuesday, Erika will be available to discuss with you any matter about our session, from 22:00 to 4:00 GMT <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=23&year=200/7&hour=22&min=0&sec=0&p1=0>

For the ones who haven't finished Week 1, just take you time. We are all teachers and can understand tight schedules and lack of time. We're still here for you all!

Beijos,

Carla in Lively Key West!
