I love blogs.
This little blog is in it's third year of existence. Before it came two other... "training blogs" we'll call them. What you'll find here are assignments, links to helpful sites and sources, ramblings, and other entertaining-to-quite-entertaining things. I will post and I will expect you to read. Sometimes those posts will be assignments, but not always. I frequently post links and videos to things I think are interesting (and think you should read or view). I will be clear about what is and is not an assignment but you need to be aware of what is here regularly and what is new and also (wait for it) what I said in class.
Take a tour around. Notice there is a glossary page, links to grammar stuff, news feeds, and a place where your blogs will all be linked. You will create your own blog using blogger, tublr, wordpress, or whatever you prefer and you will e-mail me your blog's URL so I can link to it.
If you browse the archives you'll see all sorts of things that may or may not be relevant to us this semester. Assignments and courses evolve, so some of the things that past AP Compers have done may or may not show up during your stay here.
I would recommend that you subscribe to my blog so that you automatically get updates when I post, but at the very least link back to my blog from yours and/or bookmark my blog so you can easily find it.
Happy blogging!

Looking good. I've never blogged before... but we'll see how this goes!

Can't wait to get started blogging! Looking at yours gets me excited to create my own! WOOHOO!!
ReplyDeleteFirst comment! Monumental moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this school year!!
ReplyDeleteComment!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading past AP Comp students' blogs, so I'm excited to finally have my own!
ReplyDeleteI am excited that we get to use a blog in AP Comp.
ReplyDeleteI liked it!
ReplyDeleteI have found the comment box!
ReplyDeleteHey Mrs. Cardona,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to ask, will you notify us in class of any assignments that we will find on your blog? Or would you rather us just check frequently?
I have a blog, but it's on a different blogging site. I'd like to see how this site works though!
ReplyDeleteHey Mrs Cardona,
ReplyDeleteI read through the post and I'm excited to start blogging! Am I supposed to check your blog on a daily basis or will we be notified in class when we need to read/comment on a post?
I have a "training" blog, too! Well, it isn't really training...more like "unpolished, completely full of ups and downs, personal and not fit for AP Comp" blog. So, here's to starting anew and trying out more of the cool gadgets Blogger has to offer! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never blogged before, but it seems like once I get the hang of this, it'll be super fun (:
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun
ReplyDeleteI am now commenting on your blog. (:
ReplyDeleteThis is my first comment on a blog ever. I will be celebrating with a party tonight! and then by blogging...can't stop me now
ReplyDeleteTo celebrate this monumental technological and neurological achievement, I will be throwing my first annual blogger party tonight! Can't stop me now!
ReplyDeleteI am going to Quinn's celebratory first blog comment party tonight. This is so exciting!

ReplyDeletePeople have told me that I am not the best with computers, so I guess we will see how well I blog!

ReplyDeleteI have never had a blog before, but I'm very interested in them. I can't wait for the upcoming semester!
ReplyDeleteI finally got logged in.
ReplyDeleteWell hey there! I'm super excited for this class!(:
ReplyDeleteI've never blogged before but I enjoy it so far. I really like the title of your blog. While looking around, I decided I want to think of a more creative title. We'll see how this goes!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and I'm looking forward to blogging myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to start blogging! I have never blogged before so this will be cool!
ReplyDeleteI love cats
ReplyDeleteMy first blog.. Can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to start blogging!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm a little late to comment. I got too caught up with my blog in class today and forgot about this. Anyways, I'm really excited to start my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited about blogging!
ReplyDeletewell if matt is late i dont know what i am... oh well! here is my comment!
ReplyDeleteThe comment is only the first step of the journey.
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't comment yesterday... Oops!
ReplyDeleteLate again! Whoops! This is my second blogspot blog, so I'm interested to see how I can vary the two.
ReplyDeleteIm so out of my element! But im looking forward to figuring this out...may take a couple tries...
ReplyDeletehello is this working?
ReplyDelete@ Max and Jenny: Both! I will usually direct you to my blog if there's something you need to see (like an assignment or something) but I also expect that everyone will be checking it/reading it regularly.
ReplyDeleteOk, I am really late on this post but the day that we were in the computer lab setting up our blogs, my computer didn't work for a good portion of the time so this completely slipped my mind. I'm sorry. But after having perused your blog, I really enjoy the pictures you have scattered around it. I found the website list to be informative, interesting and funny!
ReplyDeleteThis comment is long overdue, to be sure, but I felt that it should be made. Playing catch-up is somewhat difficult.
