Introduction To The World of Blogging

Bloggers of P5E

Today, 11 pupils from P5E sacrificed their Thursday morning of the one week September holiday to undergo a 3-hour intensive blog-training session. It was indeed a fun session for there was time to surf, saying 'hi' to friends once again after a short period of absence during the holidays, playing online games (right Daryl? :) during break intervals but most of all to learn an important skill that you could say that not many 11-year old know.

Some of the items that were covered include;-
- role of being a responsible blogger
- positive/negative consequences of blogging
- setting up a blogspot account
- creating, deleting and editing of the posts
- accompanying pictures with the post
- backing-up of blog using MS Word
- installing advance skins to the blog template
- simple editing to HTML code for further customisation of the blog

In closing , I would like to wish a hearty congratulations to Yi Jetz, Irdina, Geok Teng, Denise Wee, Siti Aisyika, Daryl, Christopher, Denise Chew, Deanne, Sze Yee and Hui Min for successfully completing the training session.

To the bloggers, you may post your daily account of your everyday life to your blogs. Practice is still a must if you want to truly internalise the workings of a blog before the latter becomes second nature. It's like riding a bicycle; once mastered, never forgotten :) Oh..... and do write complete sentences in your blog too since one of the primary objectives of a blog is to inculcate the love of English through writing.

For the other pupils of P5E who could not make it to the blog-training session, do approach Mr Danny when school re-opens if you are interested in setting up your own blog.

2 days to go before the new school term starts. Happy holidays and carpe diem!
