Welcome to Blogger BCA Class!

Welcome to Blogger! I am glad that you have created your blog and you are reading and contributing to blogs. It may seem a little confusing at first to use, but you will soon catch on to it, and you will enjoy it I'm sure. There is really nothing confusing about it. It is an online place where you can create and publish it for the world to see (at least the limited world) in our case.

Pictures and video can be uploaded easily to your blog posts and you can comment on other posts. Rather than using a a word processor and a printer to respond to a writing prompt or a written assignment, you can create a blog post and publish it. It doesn't matter if you are in class or not, as long as you have access to the internet, you are able to complete the task. It's great.

Game Design students have already gotten some experience using blogs and working on wikis, which is the next thing that we are going to do in the BCA class. It is also and online community where you can create and publish your work. You can share what you have created and comment and add to each other's projects. It is an exciting place to be. Skills that you will learn will be invaluable to you as you leave high school and continue your education and go into the world of work. Many companies use wikis and many universities offer online courses that use wikis as well. Don't think that these skills will never be useful to you. Learn as much as you can and enjoy!

I asked you to upload a picture to add to your first blog. Here is a picture that I chose. This is a picture of Nashville at night. I was on a riverboat cruise at night when I took this picture. This was a beautiful view, don't you think?
