Smart Footprint: Share content you and your whānau would be proud of.
Rolling out new blogs with learners can be approached as another opportunity to connect with our Cybersmart Curriculum.
A key outcome for this session will be to support learners with the process of creating and publishing a blog post. Previous Cybersmart lessons will include opportunities to create, so learning is ready to share e.g. A Blog Profile has been created in their Google Drive ready to publish to the blog. This enables the teacher and the learners to focus on the actual process of posting i.e. the components of a blog post because the learner and the learning is ready to share.
The First Post
We recommend learners with new blogs create their blog profile in their Google Drive and have it ready to share along with a profile picture. This can be copied and pasted to their blog as their first post.
Regularly share DLOs learners have created and saved in their Google Drive to practise the blog post workflow. This could be on the same day, or shortly after to learn how to schedule posts. This can also be followed up in subsequent lessons.
Recommend you revisit the components of a blog post regularly with learners to practise and build independence posting to their blog. If you have a composite class with learners who have already been blogging establish routines for buddy blogging.
