Our goal today is to become familiar with two class tools, a blog and WebCT. You'll need to work within your group to setup the blog. Individually you'll check out WebCT and take a sample quiz (it won't be for a grade, just a practice run).

Blog

Setup a group blog and enroll members

1. Find your group and coursename 10:30 | 2:15 
2. Have one student visit blogger.com, create an account and use the group name (ex. IUP121S06I) to create a group blog.
3. Jointly decide on the template etc.
4. Then enroll members by sending email invites -- using the settings menu.

Individual students - enroll and publish a test post.

1. All members should access their imail accounts, accept the invite, create usernames and post a test post to the group blog.
2. If your group's blog is created and you have succeeded in posting, you'll see your post by clicking through the index page for the class:10:30 | 2:15 

Don't forget your user and password. This is not an IUP service but a public website. I cannot restore a password for you.

Web CT

This is a password protected space for IUP students enrolled in the class. Our main use will be for accessing quizzes, though we may also find other uses.

Take a sample quiz

1. Login to WebCT . (Your username is listed above10:30 | 2:15; if you have never logged on before, your password will be the same as your username. Reset it to something you can remember.
2. After logging on, enter the ENGL 121 site and look for the quiz icon. Take a sample quiz. (Don't forget to save answers)
