Welcome to my Blog if you have just been directed in as a part of my workshop on Thursday, Feb 21st.
If this is the first time that you have used a blog as a way of taking notes or putting up a reference, I am really glad to be introducing you to what I hope will be a bit of a revelation to you. You see, there is an enormous amount of information to be found on blogs today and by keeping your own blog, you will be adding to and helping to promote that information. Isn’t that a fantastic thing for a teacher to be doing?
Right now, I would like you to make a short post to this blog to see how it works. I have left my blog open so that you can post a comment without having to register with my blog first. I can change this setting very easily. You see, you can control a lot of things about the way your blog works!
Here is a comment that you might like to respond to:
“We should try not to request paper handouts from speakers at workshops because what we need to know is now all online and we can access it very easily.” What do you think about this comment? Post a reply on this site now.

A fantastic workshop! Thank you Paul.
What if I can’t get access online easily?
I think it is quicker to get a handout than getting it printed online.
A useful workshop ! Thank you!
It is more convenient to get the handout in the lessons and it is dangerous to depend on the net too much.
Hi, I am working on it.
Thanks for the information. I’ve got a question about the edublogs: How can I get access to my blog posted on the edublogs?
I strongly agree with you. We can keep a record and work on it again, especially those with websites printed, we can go there easily by clicking on the hyperlinks.
Hi Canus
You should be able to get access by just typing in the name. For example, if you registered your blog as “sinoteachr” your web address for your blog should be http://www.sinoteachr.edublogs.org
Hope this helps.
Paul
