During your time in Oviedo you will be keeping a blog of your experiences, progress, activities and pictures. We will use blogspot.com (same as blogger.com) for our blogs. If you don’t already have a blog you will need to create one. If you already have a blog on blogspot, you can use your same login, but you will need to create an additional blog for the Oviedo Program (you can still use the other one for personal blogging).
How to create your Blogspot
1. Steps to setting up your blog for the Oviedo Program
Fill in the information required and click “Continue”
2. Give your blog a title, for example “Ana Maria y La Ciudad de Oviedo” (this can be changed later)
Create a blog address – http:// amariaoviedo.blogspot.com (You can use any available name for your blog as long as it is appropriate.) (**You CAN’T change the address after you have set it**)
3. Choose a template that you like. (You can change this later.)
4. Now you are ready to write your first entry. You need to complete and publish your entry before you leave for Spain. (Please note that you can save your entry as a draft to be able to work on it later.)
5. Sharing your blog – You need to share your blog’s URL with the group. Go to Canvas and post the address to your blog under the appropriate Discussion. Please check to make sure it is the correct URL and that it links correctly to your blog. For a more convenient place, please post your link on the facebook page; please post under the comment I made about blogs.
