Create a Blogger Profile

Blogger is a useful platform, obviously for blogging, but also for allowing students to engage in online dialogue, otherwise known as Interthinking, that powerfully complements the kinds of face to face interthinking they do in class.

However for many of our students, who are shy, or do not speak English as their home language, these kinds of class discussions can be a daunting prospect; but joining the conversation online can be much easier to engage successfully.

Using Blogger for these kinds of online discussions is it is easy to set up, and allows students to reply to each other, not just to the teacher's original post. To engage using their name, they will quickly need to create a blogger profile, here's how:

Go to blogger.com and sign in.

Choose the Blogger Profile, not the Google+ Profile they have to 18+ to use Google+)

Type in the name they would like to seen as, their first/called name is all that is needed.
