Hello all!
Since I started using blogging in my writing courses, I've relied primarily on Google's Blogger as a platform. It's easy to set up, it links with other services (Yahoo!), and it's the platform that I chose when I started my personal blog (somewhere out there in the world of words, disengaged from my "professional" self!).
So, when I started this project (again)-- with a unique group of students working at a distance-- I didn't give much thought to the "platform" issue.
Turns out, though, we have a problem.
The computers that my National Guard students are relying on have security blocks that won't allow them to access Blogger! As such, I am moving their operation over to WordPress.com instead. A by-product of this move? I think I like WordPress more than Blogger!
If you'd like to find out why, take a look at the new hub site: Pop Write World On Word Press.
What you'll find there is a more robust "hub" site. I've added layers of pages that allow outside-of-Blackboard access to project details. If you're a visitor (and not a graded participant!), then feel free to peruse these materials to get a better understanding of what this Pop Write World thing is all about!
