Over the past 24 hours I have definitely found that there is a bit of a learning curve when taking your first online class. While I consider myself fairly technologically savvy, I have felt at times a bit like a buffoon!
I really appreciate the organization of the course and the fact that there are links to helpful information. I'm not sure that I would have gotten this far if it weren't for the access to "Creating a Blog with Blogger" and "Creating a Homepage in Blackboard" documents. Now that I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with the format of the course I think I'm ready to delve into the content. I think I understand the course requirements and the fact that we'll be blogging and posting comments to the discussion board as well as completing assignments.
There's one thing that I need help with...what is the purpose of the Blackboard Homepage? I set it up, but can't figure out what more I'm supposed to do with it. Somewhere I read that it was to share our blog with other participants, but I'm still not getting it!

Hi Errin,
ReplyDeleteYour Blackboard homepage is not to share your blog. It is to simply customize Blackboard to meet your needs. I customized mine to show the NY Times Science page! (Ooo, Ahh). You will need to link your blog to everyone else's blog. To do this, simply click on their blog and click "follow". It will ask you to sign in using your gmail account. From then on, whenever you open your blog, you will have access to those that you follow. I hope this helps!
