 * Reflections:** || Students were able to successfully log in to the teacher's blog, although it did take a while to initially set up. All students had to set up an initial account with Blogger before navigating their way through to the blog. Once the account was created, they were able to add my blog to their list of blogs that they will follow. After my blog was added to their profile, they went in and posted a comment. Students were able to help one another and guide/train fellow students to sign on and post comments. ||
