Today we had another meeting with the welding team, We showed them how they could easily set up their moodle site and up loaded a number of files/videos that they could use.
We had to get the TPA team to help set up a shell and quickly put students on to the system, so thank you to the TPA team for their help.
Chris went in to their classroom (129 pc lab) to show and help students on how they can get into moodle,set up Gmail and use a blog. On the bottom of moodle page we inserted a link to a you-tube showing Oxy-welding.

Now we are heading to blogger
How to set up a blog account and wow a blog!
With blogger you can make the blog available to every one or keep it private with "invite only"
Blogger also allows you a change a lot of the settings including back ground picture and layout to name a few
One of the strange quirks of blogger is that you need to follow your own blog first before you can follow someone else
