Same day, Monday.
After Deborah's Ancestry.com short course earlier, I balanced the Treasurer's cash box, walked down Church Street to the Bank and completed the deposit. Then a quick lunch at Maccas before heading back to Computer Pals for the afternoon course on Creating a Blog with Trainer Jon Bayley. A different mob of students, except for two, Dawne and Keith from the morning course.
Because Jon was now considered a blog expert, it was decided by the Committee that he was the ideal Trainer to conduct today's course, and so he landed the job of instructing us six students on how to make a blog. He told us he was still trying to get his head around blogging (hopefully).
Jon showed us some examples of blogs from people we knew in Computer Pals, including his and wife Penny's USA adventures.
Then he instructed us in the mysteries of creating a blog using Google's Blogger!
Here he is showing student Mary how to locate the blog starting point on the Dashboard.
We learnt how to Create a Blog, to write a new Post, to view ours Posts, and how to share our Posts - by email or to Facebook......and how to add a photo image or a video. Finally, how to publish our Blog and Posts.
Anyway, at this first days course we students were happy enough to create our own Blog (see the above smiling faces of students Margaret and Mary!).
And then, off home we went to further develop our individual Blogs and to return on for the second and final half of our Blogging Course where we will show them to Jon and the other students.
This Blog is my effort................
Yes John, we all have gained a lot of knowledge, although in my case I know a little bit about a lot of things and am master of none.
ReplyDeleteThe fun is in trying new courses, finding unexpected talents and meeting and making new friends who are also interested in still learning new skills.
The club has achieved far more than Margaret and John could have dreamed in those early years, long may it remain as part of our lives.
