Connecting with Ms Zoe Chan
Many of you will have visited Ms Zoe Chan's class blog and got an idea of how she uses it in teaching. To get connected with Zoe:
(a) friend her on Facebook (this is acceptable English now); FB name: Zoe Chan; Profile picture: a blue ocean)
(b) send her an email at zoe8416@gmail.com

Regarding your blog
So far, only 7 people have got everything in order. They are:
https://misscatherinelo.wordpress.com/
https://amandak21.wordpress.com/
https://carriepang.wordpress.com/
https://cherrylum.wordpress.com/
https://mrivanlaw.wordpress.com/
https://keefermak.wordpress.com/

You can go to the page "Your Blogfolios" to see what their blogs are like.
The common problems are as follows:
1. Forgetting to give your blog a name (e.g. Miss Lo's Teaching Blog)
2. Confusing 'Page' with "Post".
A Page is a standalone page. For example, on our class blog, "Paul's Work on CALL" is a Page; "Individual Blogfolios" is another Page.
Posts are cumulative. They keep increasing every time you write a new post.
For your Self-Introduction, use a Page.
For your Reflection at the end of each session, use "Post".
Hence, on your blog, there should be now 1 Page (self-introduction), and 1 Post (Reflection on Session 1).
3. For your Self-Introduction, if you have used a Post instead of a Page, use 'copy and paste', and copy it to a Page that you will have created.
4. If you have created a Page but it doesn't show on the screen, one possible reason is that you have chosen a theme, or a template, which does not show Pages. In that case, just go to the Dashboard, and try another theme or template, to see which one will show your Page.
Other reminders regarding your blog
5. Attach a photo with you in it to your 'Self-Introduction' page.
6. Attach a photo (related to e-learning or blogging; you may look for one on Google, if you don't have one handy) to your first post.
