Welcome to our AP Calculus Blog!

Here are the directions for creating your own blog.
  1. Visit www.blogspot.com
  2. Click "Create a New Account"
  3. Fill out the information needed to start your blog.
  4. You can be creative with your "Blog Title"
  5. But, please list the url for your blog as...   "  Last Name  CalculusJournal".blogspot.com (Ex: www.GuthrieCalculusJournal.blogspot.com)
  6. Choose any template you'd like.  You can always change it!
Then, this is crucial:
  1. On the tabs that you find at the top of your "dashboard" or blog screen, click on the "Settings" tab.
  2. Then select "Permissions" in light blue at the end of the smaller tabs.
  3. Then, please choose to share the blog only with myself.  You can do this by entering my email address:  guthrie@queensgranthigh.org
  4. Then, under "Email & Mobile" (under the same Settings tab) please enter only my email address into the first box that appears, in Email Notifications: Blogsend Address.  This will send me an email when you post to your blog.  Think of it as turning in your journal.
  5. Make sure to Save your Settings.
I would like for you to keep your blog/online journal private with me, so that no one else on the web can view it.  This format is replacing the traditional paper bound journal book.  If you have any concern about this, please feel free to speak with me about it.

Then, Blog Assignment #1:  (Due. Fri. August 27th)
Please share...
  • 3 things/people/ideas/movements that inspire you (and why)
  • 2 dreams you have for your future
  • 1 thing/person/idea/movement you're thankful for right now

Feel free to be as creative with your blog posts as you like.  There are no right/wrong answers or right/wrong ways to post.  :)
