Week One Blog

Lecture: On the 29th of February we were introduced to the fourth unit of the Uni preparation course, Accessing and Organising Knowledge (UPC0004). With the information gained from the lecture i gathered that this unit would mainly be focusing on the use of computers and the publishing programs available on them, as well as being able to use online resources to gather information.


Workshop: Following the lecture we then had our tutorial which involved two main tasks, one of which was to create a blog via the site www.blogger.com and the other to create an Image Shack account which we can then upload pictures and post on our blog's. There were also little activities which included logging into our student email and making sure it worked, we also explored the ECU website, eg black board, SIMO etc.

The steps to creating a Blog are displayed below:

Step 1: Go to www.blogger.com and click the hyper link "create your blog now"


Step 2: Then enter your details including email address, password etc.


Step 3: Here you are able to choose the URL for your blog as well as the title.


Step 4: This step allows you to customise your blog by choosing a template which best suits you.


Step 5: You are now able to start creating blogs at your free will.
