Going Forward
What to do with your blog? Here are your basic options:
- Back up your blog post to your local hard drive (which you should do no matter what).
- Leave it on OpenEd.ca as a portfiolo – take down posts that might not be appropriate for your age group, leave your best work.
- Migrate your blog to WordPress.com and delete your OpenEd.ca blog.
- Delete your OpenEd.ca blog, and back-up your blog posts on your hard drive.
Here is a post with details on how to complete all of the four options above: Post-Class Optional WordPress Instructions.
Last Words… For now
It has been a pleasure working with all of you this semester! Please know that after our time together in EDCI 336 is coming to an end, I’m always available to chat about EdTech questions or bounce ideas off as you move into your own classrooms over the coming months and years. You’re all going to be wonderfully engaged teachers!
