Today was our first class of EDCI 336! We had a brief group introduction and went through the course outline. We then started working on creating our OpenEd.ca website with WordPress.

The process of starting this website has been interesting and educational! I have previously created a website with Google in a different course, but did not have any instructions so I have found this process to be more beneficial for my learning style.

I look forward to adding more to this website and see the development throughout this semester! I also hope to learn how using a blog could be beneficial in an elementary or middle school setting. I have previously considered the idea of using blogs in an elementary or middle school class setting through projects, specifically with literacy. I believe that it would provide many useful lessons on how to properly use online platforms as well develop students’ literacy skills.

Here is a website that has useful information for creating this website: http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AZ8GqW5iak
