Week Seven - May 18

 
Weekly Blog
 
Read and Respond to the new blog post (available Sunday, May 17)
  • Please click here to go to the blog.
  • Take a few minutes to look at the posts. A post is a comment written by the owner of the blog. Posts are written to let people read and respond to, kind of like asking people a question on the Internet, and then letting people from all over the world respond. When you reply to a post, everyone can see your reply, so you don't want to use your full name, only your initials, or nickname.  
  • After reading the posts, you'll need to reply.

        To reply to a post, follow these steps:

            1. Click on Comments at the end of the blog post to which you want to reply.
         2. A text box will open below the post. Click the curser inside the box and you can begin typing your response to the post.
                    Please include your initials at the end of your reply.
         3. When you finish typing your reponse, click on the drop-down arrow to open the "Comment As" options. Choose Anonymous.
          4. If you want to see what it will look like before everyone else, click on Preview.
          5. If you are happy with the way it looks, click on Post Comment.
 
Reminder: All comments have to be approved by the owner of the blog (the Tech Club teachers) before they are published, so don't worry if you don't see yours right away.
