The Blogs
You will create a blog at the begining of the course . This will help us to communicate . This communication starts in class ( introduction and closure activities) and continue at home. I strongly recommend you to check every evening this blog and to introduce your comments about our "in- class" activities. Every evening, I will post in my blog, some questions for the next day's warm up activity. You have to answer these questions at the beginning of the class ( as coments -in my blog).
For closure of each class-you'll answer the questions from the Task below ( in your blogs). You are responsible for email-ing me your blogs' links in our first day of this course.
You are responsible for the content of your blogs and for maintaining the Ethics of the Internet. The blogs will be used with the approval of your parents who will be notified of my decision to use the Internet for our classes. I will need their signature to show their consent and to confirm their knowledge of this website.
