Blogger Setup
Blogger Site Setup:
We will use a Google Service called Blogger to display your artwork on the web. This will be a webpage you will manage allowing you to share your creations with your friends and family. You will build a digital portfolio of your work. Over the course of the semester you will see your projects improve and become refined, eventually they will be finished works of art. This will help to document your progress.
There are a few ground rules for using Blogger that everyone must abide by in order for it to be successful.
1. Only use this blog to make posts for this class. It is not a social diary.
2. Only respond to people from this class. Do not interact with strangers for any reason.
3. Always write using proper punctuation, spelling, mechanics, and capitalization. You are not sending a text.
4. Only use your first name and last initial to identify yourself. Do not post your last name, phone number or other identifying information.
5. Do not add games to your Blogger page. This blog will be used for educational purposes for reflecting on your artwork, showing your progress and sharing your ideas with your classmates.
