The recordings of yesterday’s Glow Meets are now online:
2pm Pupils Meet
You need your Glow username and password to view them. Hopefully these will help if you did not make the meeting.
It is easy enough to follow the bootcamp without using the meets, as I hope all necessary instructions are in the weekly blog posts.
Remember all of the information about week two is in the blog post:
Blogging Bootcamp Week 2
Where you can pick up the bio poem template.
I’ve added a post about finding images
Finding Images | Blogging Bootcamp #2
Whit a few suggestions about where to get pictures for your blog. If you know any more leave a comment on that post with a link.
Your bootcamp posts are flowing into the bootcamp blog
Please visit them and leave comments. This can be a good way to model writing online for pupils if you are starting blogging. try to to encourage pupils to write about the suggested challenge topics if they are categorising their posts bootcamp.
Remember posts need to be categorised bootcamp to get pulled into the bootcamp.
