So for this process, pretend you don’t already have a gmail or Google user account, click “Create Blog” and use your Buckley email address @buckleyla.org to create one.
    --Choose a name for your blog. (This will be your permanent blogging address).
Examples:
·         Stephanati.blogspot.com
·         Sydamentary.blogspot.com
·         BrandX.blogspot.com
·         Spenceritis.blogspot.com
·         Liviandlearn.blogspot.com
--You may use your first name, but for internet safety reasons, don't use your last name, the name of the school, or front facing photos of any students.
--Choose a template design.

Plan to use a lot of photos on your blog this summer, either downloaded from Google images or taken with cell phones or iPads and uploaded to your blogger account or MyPictures on your Buckley documents.
--NOTE: When taking photos, you MUST observe Buckley policies! No pictures of instructor or of students. (Occasionally you may be given permission, but this is rare and is on a case by case basis.)
--When creating blogs, click the photo image (next to link) and browse to MyPictures and add.
  • Begin your blog, post an introduction to yourself, and type your homework there.
    • Remember: if you occasionally do not have access to a computer or the internet, you may complete your homework on paper and keep it in your notebook. Later, you may take a photo of your homework and post it to your blog so it is all in one place.
    • Remember: you should do your own homework, even though others may have blogged their homework before you. Afterwards, if you are confused about something, you make look at others’ blogs to clarify, but you should never copy answers from another’s work. Never.
