You just can't. Your assignment is to try one of the following tasks:<br />
1) Create your own blog for consumption by students, parents, or your coworkers. Newbies can follow the directions at <a href="http://aeycdwb.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Almost Everything You Can Do With Blogger*</a><br />
2) Post to your blog a reflection of what you learned here and what you'll try when you get back to school.<br />
3) Collaborate with another teacher here to create a blogger project for your students. <br />
<br />
Whatever you come up with post a comment below about what you created and how you are going to apply your new knowledge when you get back.<i> Feel free to tweet it out too.</i> We'll share our work around 2:20pm.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Expect fear and mistakes.</li>
<li>Give them examples, clear guidelines (at least to start), and feedback. <i>All without being too restrictive...</i></li>
<li>You need a reader and a system to check the blogs. </li>
<ul>
<li>Web based</li>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Freader&ei=bWmBUOu4OYi9qQH19oCICg&usg=AFQjCNHkwXX7q8y0uRXShFxrBJdJ5oJt3Q" target="_blank">Google Reader</a></li>
<li><a href="http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99761" target="_blank">Blogger Reading List</a></li>
</ul>
<li>Apps</li>

<li><a href="http://www.feeddemon.com/" target="_blank">FeedDemon</a></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Protect students. </li>
<li>It's about the proces, they need to find an "in", allow them ownership (<a href="http://wwwh2011-12.blogspot.com/2011/12/blogosphere.html">http://wwwh2011-12.blogspot.com/2011/12/blogosphere.html</a>).</li>
<li>Be amazed.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><u>Blogger as a Notebook</u></b><br />
<ul>
<li>safe place to keep notes</li>
<li>turn in assignments</li>
<li>summary class, notes, and homework</li>

It's really simple....<br />
<br />
<i>"The quality or essence of a blog is given meaning only via what the author does with the blog and how the blog is responded to.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And in my mind what this means is that I blog and what I blog -- and how that message is received by others -- tells me what I think.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And it tells me how I think."</i><br />
