Word of the Week: BLOGS

Guess what?  If you are currently reading this, you know what a BLOG is!  You are visiting a blog right now!  Some people use blogs to create an online journal, while others use a blog to create an online place to  put information.  It is a great way to share exciting news, keep people up-to-date, and organize one's thoughts or actions.

The SMOY TECHNOLOGY blog was designed as an online database of all things technology here at SMOY.  It helps keep parents in the loop about what we are learning in the lab each week during class.  Please continue to check out the blog as often as possible, as Miss Wilmes posts all the cool things we are learning about and even cooler things you can do at home to extend your tech skills!

Ever thought about creating your own blog?  Try a free version here at BLOGGER.  All you need is a Gmail Email Address.

**REMEMBER, if you are a student, please consult your parents before creating an online blog and practice all that we have learned about being safe online.  Don't post any of your personal information and BE SAFE!
