Getting Started

For this 7 day course and for all of our subsequent programs that you may take you will need to create a blog. A blog can be used for many purposes as this video shows.

 

when you join our introductory program, we will have asked you for a username and password (or we will create one from your name). Here is a short video explaining how to make sure your account is open and how to access your blog site.

when you have your blog account all set up, you are ready to start make postings. As you go through the 7 day program you will be asked to make postings about your experiences and also to post photos and videos at the end of the program. don’t worry if you have never done this before as we will show you how, and you can always contact us with questions and queries.

 

 

when you are ready to add a post as you go through a course, you will need to know how to do it!

the following video explains how to make a post to the class blog site

That should be enough to get you started.

 

Adding Media

when you start the mapping journal exercises on day 2, we would like you to take photos of your map journals, upload them to your computer and add them to this blog site. you can use a digital camera or your phone to take the pictures. If you have a smart phone you can add to the blog site directly from your phone or send them to your computer through uploading or emailing them to a cloud storage or email and accessing them on your computer from there.

As well as posting to this site, we would like you to create your own blog site. This will be your digital nature journal and will be very useful if you proceed to our future courses. For this introductory course we will only ask you to post to the class site.
