Week 1
Hi, I have been through this process and now have a Google Blog. It will be interesting to see what happens. This should be a real learning process for me... Thanks for the tips..........Barb S.

Thanks for providing this opportunity for us. I work in a small school district, and we are always glad to be able to take classes and keep up on the latest technology. I am planning to have my English students use my blog to talk about books they have read or are reading. I like the State Library's blog.

SPLAT is awesome
Just finished the SPLAT classes and was very impressed with the amount of info. loaded into just a short web page of lesson. It was in a 'technology for dummies' friendly format with super current information. I feel we can show our savvy patrons that we are cool, too!
Thanks for making this class so easy and not time consuming at all.
Look forward to more in the future!
