Your on camera. Today we will be taking pictures after I show you how you can customize your blog and make it your own. To make changes to your blog you will need to click on the layout tab in the dashboard when you log in. Having watched the demo on the overhead, you should customize your blog layout elements, fonts and colors, and finish updating your profile today.
While you are doing this, I will be taking pictures to publish on our blogs.

Yesterday many of you were unable to sign up for a gmail account because of an error.
This is because Google limits the number of email accounts given out to a specific Internet connection.
Can anyone think of a reason why Google would do this? If so, post a comment. If you are right, you will receive extra credit.
If you did not sign up gmail yesterday, do so now. You will need a gmail account for the class. If you can't sign up for a gmail account today, you will have until next week to sign up either at school or at home over the long weekend.
If you have your gmail account please sign in and visit blogger.com now. Today you are going to create a on online blog where you will keep a digital journal about your portfolio project and the portfolio process itself.

- Your first blog entry is to tell the reader about your project. You may start by writing out your project description but then you should continue to write about your perspective. How do you feel about the project? Are you happy with the project idea? Is there anything you want to change or do differently? Why are you interested in pursuing this project? Can you make any predictions about the project like what might be difficult or challenging?
- After you have made your blog entry, you need to send an email with your blog address to someone else in the classroom who has not heard your idea yet asking them to visit your blog, read the first entry, and leave a comment with some feedback about your idea.
- In return you must visit the blog of the person you sent the email to and leave them a comment with feedback about their idea.
- If you visit a blog that already has a comment from someone, find another person's blog from the class list that will be posted here once everyone has signed up for their blog.

Welcome to Digital Portfolio
Today, your first assignment is to sign up for an academic email address. This will be the email address you use to communicate with me, sign up for a blog, create documents, create an online photo library and more. You can continue to use your social email addresses, 'kingofflatbush' and 'skittlz09', all you want, but it's time to start getting ready for college and work.
Go to www.gmail. com and follow the instructions to sign up for an email address. Use your first and last name followed by a number or any series of between two and four numbers. If you are lucky, you might be able to get your full name, middle initial and last name without any numbers. Your chosen user name should look like first.last1 or first.m.last
When you have signed up for an email address, your second task is to create a sample Word document and copy and paste the following text into the body of the document:
This is a very easy assignment, but I proved I can do it!
