How to set up a blog in Wordpress

Hi Year 10 students,

To fix our problem of not having access to Google Blogger, I have found a better way to create our own blogs.  While I was at the recent VITTA Conference I attended a session dedicated to all about the "Social Classroom / Connected Classroom".

During this session the topic of creating classroom blogs came up, and the best way that the people in the group believed was to work with a program called Wordpress.com


The YouTube clip above shows you exactly how to create your own blog using your own PC.

This week we will be working with Adobe Flash, which is an animation program that allows you to embed these files into your own blog or website.  The programs that we will be creating during class will be an animation that follows a specific path and also an animation of a bouncing ball.

See you in class

Mr Ross

Hey Guys,

Whilst at the VITTA Conference at Caulfield Racecourse today I came across this cool ICT animation tool called Dvolver.

It allows you to make free movies in just the click of a mouse.
