Club Activity #2 - Blog Setup!

Today we are jumping in to the blogosphere and getting ourselves up and running with students very own blogs. Each student will be setup with their own blog through edublogs where they will be able to document their learning through the Eco-Club and their investigations of the country.

Today's goals are as follows:

1) Setup each student with a blog
2) Investigate widgits and have students setup their own widgets
3) Read a Costa Rica blog post that interests you and write about what you learned and why you feel you find it so curious!


Here are some blogs to get you started, but feel free to find your own as well!

Tamarindo, Costa Rica daily photo blog - Each blog post has a curious photo and summary regarding the picture.

Yo-Yo (You're-On-Your-Own) in Paradise - An individual explorers blog about their exploration of the country.

A New Life in Costa Rica
- The daily diary of a family who picked up all of their belongings in the "Estados Unidos" and moved to Costa Rica to enjoy a new life of exploration!
