Mondays in the winterless North

Today my aim is to get ONE of my senior classes to start on their blogging journey.

We live in a DIGITAL savvy era! Ask yourself the question:

What are my next steps?

Probably most of you had the answer about either getting your year 13 and then a job.  Now today we are opening the door to getting yourself a "digital" footprint and online identity that you can share with those people who are in the next part of your "career pathway". You need to have some proof of who you are, what you do, what you believe in?

I am hoping to start you off today on a blogging journey:
Some about me blog posts as suggestions:
Nickname
what I love
what I believe in
Likes/interests
favourite subjects
purpose of your blog
This is the link to our school's blog site.

If I was an employer and I had shortlisted 2 people for possible employment, and one of them had a blog that I could read, I would possibly go for the person with the "on-line" identity, as I could read about who he/she is and learn more about this person, than the one without the online identity.  This is not a face book profile, this is all about a professional identity.  It should be positive.

We are trying this as a Level 2 class (group 2)
Maybe your first question after answering: who am I.... should be:

Where am I off to next. Is it Level 3, is it a job, is it after school studies??
Then  this should be the focus of your new blog!!
