[MOSAIC] Starting a website/Creating a blog

[Sarah Maurer]

Just a word of caution about blogs-
If you use the same username to create a personal one and one for your
class, parents may be able to access your personal one. I know this is true
on Blogger. 

I have 2 different personal blogs and am part of a group blog. If someone
were to click on my username, it would take them to a profile page and list
the blogs I am a member of. As I wasn't ready to share my personal blog with
the group, I had to go into my settings and change it. I chose just to take
the personal blogs off of my public profile but still available for people
to stumble upon. Another option I could have chosen was to allow only
certain people or no one to view it.

It may not be important to some, but I like to keep my personal and
professional life separate in areas such as these. 

I don't know if this makes any sense- please ask if you have questions.

This is in response to Kimberlee's question about a website.  For the
longest time I wanted to do a website but was overwhelmed by the idea.  Plus
-  I needed something that I could easily maintain.  This year a colleague
convinced me to start my own blog.  She has two; one for her and one for her
class.  On a blog I could still list all I wanted to, list websites, post
pictures, podcasts, and more importantly I could have my students
(Kindergarteners) learn how to post on their own for their parents to enjoy.
I think a blog could offer you everything you would like.   You should check
into it.  I started mine this summer and learning how to do so much on it.
It is very easy to do and you would be quiet surprised at the endless
possibilities.
