11 Tools - A New Journey: Tool 1

I already had my blog set up, so I didn't have to do that. Since I have created this blog, Blogger has made several changes and additions to their site. There are many more choices for your template and Advanced choices to make your template more customized. I also love that Blogger has added the options for "pages." I hope to add some pages soon!

Making the Voki was great fun! The choices are endless! Students would love to do this! I added my own voice to my Voki and it was fairly easy to do. I will definitely use Voki with my PGP kids this year!

As far as the 11 Tools directions for Tool 1 - the most confusing part is getting logged into your blog. If you are using your Spring Branch email to set up your blog, you have to log in to the Google Apps for Educators first, before you go to your blog. This has added a layer of confusion and several extra steps that are really unnecessary. I hope in the future, this is revised.
