Mr. Black’s Math Class

edublogs is a free web service for anyone involved in the education field to post a blog on the world wide web. This post will discuss how to create an edublogs account, so that you can set up your own blog and begin to post relevant items for our Algebra Class.

When you go to edublog (www.edublogs.org) you will first see a page like the one shown below. (Any picture contained on this page will link to its a larger version of the picture.)

Once there you will click on the link to the left hand side of the page like the one below.

Once you click this link, the following page will load.

Please click the link the in the middle of the page in the yellow box that says, “start here.” Once that is clicked you will see the following page.

Once the page has loaded, you will need to fill in the information, as I have below. Make sure you use your own gaggle.net e-mail address, and not my e-mail address.

Once you have filled in this information, you will need to check your email address to verify your account. You will receive an email that has a link for you to click on that will verify the creation of your account. Once you have done so, you will receive another email that gives you a record of your password. Be sure to save the email you received from edublogs so that you will have your password in case you forget it at a later time. Then, you can then log back into edublogs by clicking the link on the front page that says “students login here.”

Once you click this link, you will see the following page.

Click the link in the second paragraph that says “log in here” in the middle of the page to log in.
Once you click this link, you will see this page.

Here, you will enter your username, that you chose when you signed up for your blog, and the password they assigned you for logging into the system.

Once you enter your username, you will see a page like the following.

Once you are on this page, you can post to your blog from here by clicking the “Write a post” link from the page above. Once there, you will see the following.

On this page, you can give your post a title and write the body. Once you are finished you just have to click the Publish button to publish your blog entry to your blog site.

There are many things you can discover to make your blog very personal and different in appearance, I want you to explore those on your own. If you want help, you can always come to after-school tutoring and I will help you with whatever questions you may have. I wish you luck in entering this crazy and zanny world of blogging. Remember, though, you have to keep your posts appropriate for school at all times. No profanity. No questionable material. If I find you are not following the rules, I will be forced to eliminate your computer and blog access.
