What's included
8 live meetings
7 hrs 20 mins in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. If a student does not finish his or her work during that day’s lesson, the student will be expected to finish it prior to the next class lesson. This class does meet once a week for 8 weeks and it is expected for each student to keep up with the lessons and any work in the lesson. With this said, this is a basic introductory course and many students are able to follow along at the pace set.Class Experience

I highly recommend this teacher to help your child become an independent writer.” -Lora O. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *To become a master blogger and to improve writing and technology skills, students must first take my 101 class before taking this class. It is suggested then, that the student spend the year blogging in the follow-up classes: 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106. Classes are scheduled out for the year to help parents plan. These classes may also help with yearly school credits for English, STEM, Technology, History, Elective, Writing, and/or Social Studies. *This class will not be canceled if only one student is enrolled for class. *Many students take this class for English credit, STEM or technology credit, general Elective credit, and/or Writing credit, and may request a grade at the end of the semester for school credit. This class may also help students improve their writing skills to prepare them for higher education or college. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In this course, students ages 14-18, improve their writing skills by writing more blogs with teacher instruction, and learn more tips on building their WordPress website. Teacher feedback on writing as well as web page building will be provided to all students. This class focuses on Asian Studies topics. Students may take the 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 blog classes out of order if they'd like. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 1 *Introductions *Expectations *Student introduction activities *Create a new blog workshop: Current events in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 2 *Create a new blog workshop: Music, Television, or Computer Gaming in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 3 *Create a new blog workshop: Books in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 4 *Create a new blog workshop: Sports in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 5 *Create a new blog workshop: Food in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 6 *Create a new blog workshop: Travel in Asia - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 7 *Create a new blog workshop: Student Choice - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 8 *Create a new blog workshop: Student Choice - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What is the structure of this class? During the first half of every lesson, teacher instruction will be provided on how to complete that day’s activity. The second half of every lesson will allow students to write their blogs and build their websites. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What’s your teaching style and how will you teach? I like to have fun in my classes. I am thorough in execution but joyful in presentation. I do expect students to follow instruction and do the assignments, and I welcome every question a student may ask. I will use slides to help present my lessons and hands-on work to engage student learning. I love having students bring in their own learning styles and ways of participation. Since this is a small class, I do expect to interact with all students. I want to learn about my students and what they are experienced in. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
