Welcome to blogging!

As we discussed yesterday in class, we will be using individual blogger accounts as our class journals this year. The main purpose of the journals is to improve your writing skills. This is not twitter, text messaging, IM or other types of pure social interaction and those informal writing skills are not acceptable in you posts or comments. You are expected to use proper capitalization, puncuation, spelling, sentence and paragraph structure.

To make sure that all student accounts are functioning correctly and the settings are right, we will be signing into the account as well as using the comments and settings elements of blogger.
Please add a comment to this posting indicating what your goal in this class is for the year.
