Edgenuity Blog

After going to the Edgenuity Blog and reading a couple posts some things I have learned are I apply this reasoning to educational technology in that technology not only offers the opportunity to differentiate, to remediate, and to enrich learning, but it also can make the student experience more fun and engaging. Frankly, students should not have to check technology at the school door. Technology should be in our large educational toolbox, but we should not think technology is the sole answer to student engagement. The key is for teachers to reflect on WHY they are using apps, devices, or the Internet and whether the choice is producing the desired learning result. Student feedback and assessment data should be used to evaluate whether students are mastering skills and, when the data isn’t positive, teachers should rethink technology-laced lesson plans.

Web standards

Web standards are rules about the way code on a website should be written. It's important for websites to meet web standards, so that web browsers can display the site correctly, without errors.

WYSIWYG editors like Blogger are built to create websites that automatically meet most web standards. This way, you don't have to worry about whether your blog will work correctly in a web browser.

How to use Blogger

The way Blogger looks and the services it offers can change often, so the steps in this course may not always match the way Blogger looks or works, though it should be similar.

To name your blog, you'll need a title and an address.

The title tells people what the blog is about.

The address is the blog's URL. It's what people will type into the address bar of their browser to get to your blog.

The first part of the address will be a word or phrase you choose yourself. The second part of the address will be .blogspot.com. TIP: The address won't have a period at the end.

For example, taylorscareerblog.blogspot.com is a blog address.

Blog addresses can't have spaces or special characters like exclamation points or underscores in them, but they can have dashes between words, like this: dashes-in-the-address.blogspot.com.

A blog's title and address are often similar to each other, but they don't always need to be.

Blogger hosts hundreds of thousands of blogs, so you may need to check the availability of several blog addresses before you find one that's available for use.

It's important to make sure that the blog title and blog address are safe to use. The title and address shouldn't include personal information like your phone number, address, or where you go to school.

Good blog titles and addresses are brief, clear, and professional, without slang.
