WordPress is a very powerful tool to do a blog. 13 00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:51,319 In a blog, as you can see, the publications are usually called posts, and you can do something 14 00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:58,719 with just only text, but you can also add other elements, multimedia elements, such 15 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:04,180 as, for example, photos, videos, and so on. 16 00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:13,060 You must log in to your Google account, to your blogger account in this case, using your 17 00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:18,060 username and password for your Google account. 18 00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:22,060 How you can do a blog? 19 00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:24,699 Well, it's very easy. 20 00:02:24,699 --> 00:02:35,460 very easy because it doesn't need any technical knowledge just only work in 21 00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:44,620 these kind of tools so the first thing is obviously to create a new blog and if 22 00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:50,659 you want to create a new blog you need to give to this blog a name and one 23 00:02:50,659 --> 00:03:04,699 address. Nowadays the blog can be improved if you buy a domain but my advice is if you have a very 24 00:03:04,699 --> 00:03:13,520 good blog can be a good idea to buy a domain but if you don't have a very good blog it's better 25 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:26,479 that don't don't do this so we give a name to our blog and also an address it doesn't matter if you 26 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:36,159 don't like the name of the address because you can change later if you want another thing that 27 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,800 is important to choose is the template of your blogs you have different templates in your 28 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:54,000 lower account and you can also change details or you can also do your own template using html code 29 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:02,879 but is a little bit more complicated if you are a beginner my advice is just choose one of the 30 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:13,020 the templates provided by Glover, and well, if you want, it can be a good idea to do some 31 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:21,120 changes in your template that can be done very easily using the Google tool. 32 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:32,860 Well, as you can see in this video, that it's very easy if you change the details and whatever 33 00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:43,540 you want in your blog, and obviously the best way is that you can improve using the HTML 34 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:44,540 code. 35 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:55,620 In this course you have already studied this code, so it can help you to improve your blog, 36 00:04:55,620 --> 00:05:07,620 Sorry, in the second episode. So this knowledge can help you to improve your blog, and your templates, and your posts, and so on. 37 00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:18,620 Alright, so when you have your templates, you must change the organization of your blog. 38 00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:25,500 So, you must go to design and change the organization in your blog. 39 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:34,899 You can add it, some gadgets, or you can change the organization using these different models 40 00:05:34,899 --> 00:05:37,740 if you want, or change the model. 41 00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:46,959 In this case, I have two single models, and then, using design, you can add different 42 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:55,759 gadgets or you can change the appearance of your blog so the appearance of the blog is very important 43 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:03,439 but as you can see here you can add some elements you can change elements for example 44 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:07,279 tags adding the tags of your blogs is very important 45 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:17,839 Changing the appearance of each post is also important, because in a blog the posts are 46 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,439 organized by dates. 47 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:34,879 It's not a good organization if you want that your blog can create contents that don't need 48 00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:35,879 dates. 49 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:43,319 but if you need to date it's a good idea so it depends you can change this 50 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:53,579 characteristic of your blog and your publicity using the design tool as you 51 00:06:53,579 --> 00:07:00,720 can see the appearance of the blog change with your options with an option 52 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:11,540 that you have done. You also, for example, add pages in your blog. You can also 53 00:07:11,540 --> 00:07:19,759 change the appearance and organization of your post. In any case, it's your blog. 54 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:27,720 The exercise that we are going to do in this course is obviously create a blog just 55 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:38,399 one per class so we can add it different offers to the blog the main idea is that 56 00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:50,660 in each group in each workshop group you have at least three computers so each 57 00:07:50,660 --> 00:08:05,319 workshop group will be responsible for one land unit and they must do the 58 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:15,399 summarize of the lesson. It can be no more than two posts per period, so just only 59 00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:24,579 one post per person. I think it's not too much during one course. As you can see in the video, 60 00:08:24,579 --> 00:08:35,740 you also can change the appearance of the blog and so on. That is what we are going to do at 61 00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:44,080 the beginning, but obviously, as you know how to do it, you can change in each group if you want. 62 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:52,519 until the appearance and the organization of the block is the best that we can have 63 00:08:52,519 --> 00:09:03,919 so it's very important for us to sign the block or do the alpha-bc of the block is also 64 00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,879 very important so it's another thing that we must do 65 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:24,590 Well, step by step, at the end, our blog is ready for our post, that is the main idea. 66 00:09:24,590 --> 00:09:37,649 The groups can change because we have at least six alpha, one per group, workshop group, 67 00:09:37,649 --> 00:09:48,190 and me so at the end we have six authors in the blog and we can revive it and you can 68 00:09:48,190 --> 00:09:59,330 use the blog this blog to share the different contents and the different things and obviously 69 00:09:59,330 --> 00:10:07,629 to study for the exams and so on and it's a good idea because you can improve your collabs 70 00:10:07,629 --> 00:10:17,350 operative work and it's also a way that people usually work nowadays. So I think 71 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:26,009 it's a good idea for you. Apart from the blog of the class we can also have 72 00:10:26,009 --> 00:10:32,570 something to follow the project that we will do in this course and it's important 73 00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:42,090 because the project in this course obviously is about robotics and 3d printer so we will do 74 00:10:47,769 --> 00:10:56,250 step by step and we follow this project which is your learning 75 00:10:57,529 --> 00:11:02,090 step by step and we follow using this type of tool 76 00:11:02,570 --> 00:11:14,809 Well, if you have a better idea, you can also share with me, we can do it if it is a good 77 00:11:14,809 --> 00:11:15,809 idea. 78 00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:31,960 But I think the rest is this, to do a blog in a collaborative way with the class. 79 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:40,240 here you are the results and the different things in each post you can 80 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:51,240 then edit the post and you can also use a test something which is different is 81 00:11:51,240 --> 00:12:01,059 editor of HTML and also the quality self taking into consideration that in the 82 00:12:01,059 --> 00:12:06,879 second official you have learned something I think it will can help you 83 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:15,620 to do a better post and this work can be considered at the end of the course to 84 00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:26,820 improve your grades you can add it for example videos you can also add it 85 00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:36,899 links, you can add pictures, but my advice is no so much links, for example, just only 86 00:12:36,899 --> 00:12:45,379 this link that can help you, because the main idea is that you summarize the 87 00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:53,759 content that we have done in class. No so many pictures from the blackboard or the 88 00:12:53,759 --> 00:13:03,200 workbook, because it's not a good idea. Sometimes a picture is a mental mind, 89 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:12,360 it's a mental map, and a mental map is just only important to each person, because the way that 90 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:27,480 each person can learn is different. Depends of themselves. So I think you must do the 91 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:39,649 effort in doing summarize of the class. It's my advices. So blog is a very good 92 00:13:39,649 --> 00:13:52,429 tool but it's not the only tool that we can use to improve our class the other 93 00:13:52,429 --> 00:14:03,169 good tool to improve our class can be the social networks but one of the 94 00:14:03,169 --> 00:14:12,549 social networks very popular nowadays is obviously Twitter. What is different in a 95 00:14:12,549 --> 00:14:26,409 social network is that for example in Twitter you can write your opinion and 96 00:14:26,409 --> 00:14:37,409 and also add other types of files such as videos, photos and so on. 97 00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:46,409 In a social network, the social network gives you the opportunity to share your opinions with the rest of the people. 98 00:14:46,409 --> 00:15:15,769 It's very popular when something special happens, an accident, or a politician who talk or something, comments on some special things, or gives opinions about something. 99 00:15:15,769 --> 00:15:33,730 So, for all of us, one of these social networks can be Twitter, in this video I'm going to 100 00:15:33,730 --> 00:15:42,090 talk about Twitter, but you also have Facebook, you also have LinkedIn, and nowadays it's 101 00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:54,330 It is very common that if you have a job, you also have a social network which is associated 102 00:15:54,330 --> 00:15:55,330 to your work. 103 00:15:55,330 --> 00:16:05,570 Twitter is very popular, it's very popular because a lot of politicians have used it 104 00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:19,330 to spread their way of life and their way of think, and Twitter has helped, for example, 105 00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:30,129 some politicians to improve their profiles, not only politicians, also the other people 106 00:16:30,129 --> 00:16:39,730 Facebook people to improve their profiles. It's a way that also helps you to follow 107 00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:50,769 events and give opinions. Very often there are debates parallel to the event in the 108 00:16:50,769 --> 00:16:58,509 social networks and Twitter is one of these social networks. So it's very 109 00:16:58,509 --> 00:17:07,029 popular well in this social world in Twitter but it is is a is indeed a 110 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:17,509 micro blog the number of words that you can use to do your tweets are not so 111 00:17:17,509 --> 00:17:27,069 much but you can also add it photos and videos you can follow other people and 112 00:17:27,069 --> 00:17:38,910 other people can follow you and this can improve in the social world and it is a good tool 113 00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:47,950 for globalization work, obviously, because you can share not just only with people in 114 00:17:47,950 --> 00:17:54,950 your country, you can share your profile with people which is in other countries and so 115 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:55,950 on. 116 00:17:55,950 --> 00:18:03,809 one of the advantages of social network in general you can share with other 117 00:18:03,809 --> 00:18:10,789 people in other part of the world you are part of globalized world
