Welcome

GRADS is like a classroom without walls. We help our students make connections in their community, find reliable information online and show them how to be lifelong learners throughout their parenting journey. There are also other methods of teaching our students without the traditional textbook. Follow my classroom blog as we stretch the boundaries of teaching and learning.

Learn About Blogging

The GRADS Classroom Blog will be used for part of our classroom instruction while I am on medical leave. You will be given assignments to work on either in the library on the days I have scheduled and you can work at your own convenience.

During the next three weeks you will do some activities to become familiar with a blog format. Then you will write and post your own articles on this blog. You will learn how to write meaningful comments to other classmates and reply in order to keep a dialogue going.

1. Today you will be receiving an email inviting you to be an author on our blog. Check your email, open the invitation, click on the message to accept. Come back to this blog, refresh the page, then click "New Post" in the upper right corner of your screen to see if it was successful. Click "Close" because you will not be writing a post today. See me if you have any problems.

2. Go to this link to complete an assignment about Blogging Guidelines. Whenever you want to come back to today's assignment just click "HOME".

3. Look around this site to get familiar with it's content:
  • Sign up to receive an email whenever a new assignment is published.
  • Browse the other tabs (usually at the top) to locate more information.
  • Check out all the cool stuff I found on my Pinterest Boards
  • Scroll down to check out some previous articles 
  • After reading an article, feel free to write a comment at the bottom of the page
  • Check out my other blogs listed in the right sidebar.
