Even if you have been blogging for a while please take a few minutes to browse through the Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu blogger tips to date.
Are you confident that both you and your learners, who have individual blogs, are familiar with these processes and recommendations?
A common problem we see on some learners' blogs is text in a published blog post overlapping into the sidebar of the blog.
This happens when content is copied and pasted from a Google Doc to the blog.
Support your learners to use Ctrl - Shift - V when pasting or if the post has been published clear formatting to rectify. Recommend having a student cast to your screen and demonstrate this process for others to follow.
Some learners may need to scroll back through their blog and check published posts. If they notice a post that needs to have the formatting cleared, I recommend clicking the small pencil at the end of their post to edit.
By crafting in Google Docs first, both the learner and teacher, have a record of what has been written. Not only is the content saved but also access to view the Version History is available in Docs.
The value of this is teachers are able to view the document history plus leave feedback/feedforward to support learners via comments in Google Docs, as they are crafting their writing.
Also if there any issues with blogger publishing content will not be lost as it is saved in Google Drive.
