Learning to Blog

This course gives us a small preview of what it is like to blog--I found this course assignment interesting! And blogging is more fun than I initially thought it would be--but I can tell that there is still a lot to learn about what makes a blog relevant and interesting to visit. :)

I thought it would be nice to include a link to a page from another blog about technology--a kind of testament to our course and blog subject. This blog is also included in the 2017 EdTech's 50 Must-Read Higher Ed Blogs. 

➽8 Technology Trends Changing Education

I helped contribute to the set up of this blog, by adding the "About" page/tab and a "desktop technology tools" background image to the starting template.

Elaine's Initial Post

I was really hoping we were going to get to do some real blogging with this assignment, but I've read it over several times and it seems like this initial post is about what it culminates with (unless there's more later in this class...)

Grumpy Cat: I came. I saw. I complained.

Okay, so I'm disappointed a little. I like blogging! I like teaching technology! I like Grumpy Cat!

Here's a little about what I changed, in two pictures:

1. Blog title and tag line screenshot

2. Search Preferences

I'm pretty sure my classmates agreed that my title was total improvement over the long-winded predecessor. And, I'm about 85% sure they agreed my cliche, cheesy tag-line was acceptable. I thought it was an improvement over having nothing.

Regarding search preferences: although this isn't something everyone can see, it's an important part of setup to make sure that search engines are able to index information about this blog so it will show in results when people perform internet searches. 

What do you think, Professor?
