Subscribing to Blogs

This morning our lead teachers continued working on their blogs. We:

• Added an email notification form to our blogs (blogarithm)
  
• Removed the navigation bar at the top (can no longer click on 'Next Blog')

We also went to www.blogarithm.com, created our own accounts, and added the URL's from each others blogs. Now, whenever one of our blogs has been updated, we will all receive notification and can go in and have a look. Receiving feedback (comments) is a tremendous motivator for children (and adults!) so please - add comments to some of the blog entries.

Some more things you might like to try on your blog:

• add a hit counter
• add a 'clustrmap' to show where your contributions are coming from

Just click on these objects on this blog - the links will take you to the sites I used (or find your own).

Here are some of the blogs that have been created in our cluster:

Motueka High School Outdoor Ed

Brooklyn School

Phys Ed

Mapua School Room 5

Room 9 Motueka South School

Te Whanau o Pakarana
Hello

tasmankids

Room 2 Riwaka School

For help setting up your own Blogarithm account, see your lead teacher or email me. If there are other blogs you would like to subsbribe to and you are looking for an easy way to manage them, you should think about using a Feed Reader. You can then use RSS feeds to have new blog entries sent to you automatically, and stored in a central place, rather than having to go to the individual blogs. Once again - please ask for help with this if you have trouble.

Don't forget - it's the feedback that makes Blogs so powerful, so please add your comments to others blogs.
