Today in EDCI 336, we learned how to set up and create our WordPress blog. Here I am writing the very first post on the blog!
The process to set up my blog involved following the instructions that Rich provided on a handout. First, I went to opened.ca which is a website that I have never heard of before. It is a British Columbia made platform that promotes educational technology. It was a relatively smooth process setting up my page, however, I did have to wait around 7 minutes to receive my email confirmation about my website.
This blog will be good for an educational setting because it will allow me to bring my blogposts, inquiry projects, resume, and materials/assignments for other classes altogether in one space. Some challenges that may arise from using this website include computer malfunctions, Wifi malfunctions, glitches, or hackers.
All in all, I am excited to explore the world of EdTech through my new blog.
