Camp Activity 1: Blog Bling

Welcome back, campers!  This week's activity is an extension of last week--we are going to jazz up your blog.

1.  Last week we showed you how to follow our blog.  Choose 3 of your fellow campers to follow as well.  You'll also be responsible for commenting on 3 other people's posts for each activity.

2.  Change the layout of your blog.  Add some gadgets, like Followers (as you can see, we added that to our blog to show all of your blogs!).  Add 3 gadgets of your choosing.

3.  In your blog post for the week, embed a video or photo.  Search Youtube for a video you would use in your classroom.  Embed the video and explain why it would be useful to you.  (When you create your post, there are buttons to either link or embed a photo or a video as part of the menu).
Here is a sample video about 21st Century Learners to get you thinking about the wide variety of Web 2.0 tools that are available and how your students may be using them already.
