Blog Accounts and Learning Lines

Hi everyone,
Thank you to all those students who have managed to set up their blog accounts so quickly. There are still many of you who have not set up your accounts, and there are also many students who have not posted their Learning Line yet. Please do so as soon as possible.

I have noticed that many of you are forgetting to use a capital I when posting. If you are talking about yourself you should always use a capital I not small i - you are important,  so make sure that your post looks important and use a capital I - e.g:

I enjoyed my time at college - not i enjoyed my time at college.

Find out from your new colleagues what their blog addresses are and add them to your blog. Then you can see what they have posted and you can comment on those postings. This will enable you to peer review their work, which is a useful new skill to learn to do. You will read and interpret their work from a different perspective, and your comments can help your colleague to think about what they have written. Don't be afraid to be critical - this is all part of the university experience.
In the next post I will talk you through how to link a friend's blog to your own blog.
