How to Get More Visitors

Consistency is very important. My uncle owned his own business for the past 10 years. He has had the same address and phone number because it makes it easier to locate the business. For your blogs, I feel that it is very important to keep your blog up-to-date. If you don't visit your blog why should anyone else. When posting to your blogs make sure you check for grammatical and spelling errors. I never thought about the title to blogs but it makes sense to put a title your visitors will Google.

Social Networking

Searching the web can be a tedious task. If you have a social network it could cut the task in half. Within your personal learning network there is bound to be someone who knows exactly where to get the information you need. Your personal learning network should help you get a grip on "the subject." Make sure your PLN has great mentors.

Tips:

1. Use the same user name across tools
2. Share as much as you take
3. Ask as much as you answer
4. Try new TOOLS before you decide they’re not worth the time
5. Comment on other people’s blogs
6. Life long learning is the key!

Positive Digital Portfolio

Watching the news or a youtube clip can be very depressing. We, adults and teens, tend to catch the bad. Watch this teen tip. Is this funny? We often laugh at the videos like this but I personally feel a little embarrassed. Embarrassed by the name and the content of the video because they forgot to mention how drunk driving causes accidents. As a teacher I will encourage my student to look at the positive outcomes of life.
