In this lesson we are going to be sending each other EMails. This is a great way of keeping in contact with friends and family and getting information quickly. A good guide to using EMail can be found on the BBC’s Webwise site. I have also added this link in my Internet research category if you need to find it again.
I have sent you an EMail which I would like you to reply to and also forward it to the person sitting to your right.
Next I would like you to use the internet to find out something about each of the following terms. Make a new post on your blog and use this to tell us all what you have discovered.
In this lesson you are going to explore the World Wide Web and bookmark sites that will be useful for finding information for your personal projects. One of the most useful sites that I’ve found is Wikipedia. I think it must be the world’s biggest encyclopedia by now. Why? Because it is written by thousands, if not millions of people.
Anyone can add or edit Wikipedia. It’s free and run by Wikimedia a non profitable organisation.
Have a look at the links I’ve added on the research category. One of these is a link to Youtube a great site for sharing videoclips.
Here is a clip of one of my favorite guitarists Tommy Emmanuel. If you click on the menu button when the clip is playing you will see some other clips that have something in common with the clip that is playing (related clips).
Add a Youtube clip to your blog post for this lesson.
In this lessson we are going to explore the wonderful world of blogging!
A blog is a weblog or Internet diary. Weblogs enable users to publish short comments and ideas instantly for other people to read. Blogging can be an effective communications tool for small groups of people to keep in touch with each other. You are each going to create your own blogs and use them to publish your projects on the Internet. You will be able to look at and comment on each other’s work. The site we will use to set up our blog can be found at www.uniblogs.org. When you have set up your own blog remember to add this site to your blogroll!
Here is a video to watch the has a really good explanation of what a blog is.
