tutorial 3 technical description

Tutorial Three: Blog Creation Tasks

Task One: Follow instructions to set up a account with Blogger

Task Two: Follow instructions to complete the following Blog construction tasks

  • Choose a Blog Template (this can be changed later if you wish)
  • Provide a Blog title (this will need to incorporate your name and the course title Participation in Occupation 1)
  • Provide a Blog outline. This is a short statement outlining the purpose of the Blog (this information should come from the course outline and assessment guidelines for Participation in Occupation 1).
  • Complete your Blog profile (you need to include your age, gender, industry, occupation and location)
  • Up load a photo to your Blog profile

Blog: is a contraction universally used for Weblog, a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Task Three: Follow instructions to start posting content. Your first two post should be taken from the technical descriptions for tutorials one and two.

Task Four: Provide a brief summary of the services offered by Blogger (this will be your third posting. Information can be drawn from the attached hand out). In addition to this name one other Blog host.

  • Blogger offers a space for people to share their thoughts, photos, interests and their lives in general with either just their friends or the whole world.

  • Others can write comments back to the person.

  • Each site can be personalised with different backgrounds and page layouts.

  • Blogger allows you to find others with similar interests and connect with these people.

Task Five: Upload 5 photos from tutorial 5 onto your flickr account.

Any remaining time can be spent

· Exploring Blogs hosted by Blogger and other services (e.g.myspace)

· Setting up a personal Blog

· Organising your flickr account into groups
