Join us for a Virtual HomeBrew Website Club: Blogging 101 #edtechchat #literacies #engchat #ctedcamp

As a teacher do you have an interest in joining the committed few who want ensure the web remains open and free for our students? Are you an educator just starting off you blog and looking for tips? Maybe you are a seasoned blogger, WordPress.com, Wix, or Weebly user who wants to take the next steps and own your own domain. If so it won’t be pool side where all the cool teachers hang out.

All summer long I will be hosting Virtual Homebrew Website Clubs with an emphasis on WordPress for educators. Every (minus vacations and life stuff that may get in the way) Wednesday at 8:30 pm and Thursday at 2:00 pm (all times edt -5 UTC) you can come up your blogging skills. I will share a link to a Google Hangout before we begin. If you want to learn how to add a header image, tips on writing content, making static pages, or tweaking just about anything on your WordPress site this is the place to be.

I will keep the Hangout open for an hour and silently work if no one stops to say hello. We will reserve the first 45 minutes to blogging basics but if you wanted to know how to make your current blog #IndieWeb powered you can stop by for the last fifteen minutes of the conversation for questions. As the summer moves on if more people up their skills we may change the ratio of time.

So if you have a question on how to get started as an educational blogger or you just want to stop in and do an hour of quiet blogging all are welcome.
