A blog (short for web log) is a website that a person uses to post ideas, questions, photos, and / or video. The difference between a blog and a website is that the people who view a blog entry can leave comments of their own –they can even comment on other peoples’ comments.

I have set up a blog for our course (cartyteaches.blogspot.com). I’ll use it to post articles, videos, podcasts, and questions that relate to World Literature. You will have to join the blog and submit comments.

How to join:

In order to join, you’ll need a gmail account. Go to gmail.com and click “Create an account.”

You will be asked to create a login name. Your login name must start with your first initial and your last name so that I know who you are when you write a blog entry. You can put whatever you want at the end of your login name. For example: John Smith would choose jsmith as his login name, or jsmith28, or jsmithrocks, etc. –all of these start with jsmith.

Once you have set up a gmail account, email me at mcarty@sterling.k12.nj.us I’ll mail you back with an invitation to our English IV blog.

Reply to the invitation, and you’ll be ready to blog!
