=Blog Treasure Hunt= //[Note: This version isn't nearly as fun or attractive as the one handed out in class, but in case you need the information, the text is below.]//

Click on the "Settings" tab and do the following:
• Have a Title to your blog (the whole blog, not a posting) that will remind you that this blog is for your UMF class about technology integration & classroom management • Add a description that tells the world what this blog is all about. Save your new settings. • Read the 4 questions under the description and see if you can figure out what they mean. Change the settings if you want. • Look through the other "settings" options and try to figure out what they are for (publishing, email, archiving, comments, etc.) Be ready to explain one of them to Dr. Theresa.

Click on the "Templates" tab and do the following:
• Click on "Add a Page Element" and then add the one called "labels" • Try rearranging your elements, You can always put them back. • Click on "Fonts and Colors" and play with that. • Click on "Pick New Template" and try some out.

//[Note: you can only get to the Dashboard from the Customize screen.]// • Create a new blog in your account for Dr. Grace's class. (Now that you know so much about blogs, you know that you can modify it later.) • Click on "Edit Profile" and see what new things you might want to display about your self. (Go ahead and add information or you can leave them blank.) • Create a new post describing your experience with blogs so far. Tell what was new, what was frustrating, what you liked, etc. Title this entry "QR Blogging" and label it QR, blog. • Send an email to Theresa.overall@maine.edu In the body of the email tell your first and last name, your block #, and the URL to your blog. • Log out of Blogger.com, log out of your computer (if you're on a lab machine), and bring this treasure map to Dr. Theresa.
