First, this isn’t a traditional online course. It is a blogging studio where we gather together to learn and support each other in creating interesting, entertaining and/or effective blogs. One of the students explained the Blogging Studio online class as…

"Bring your blog(s), a sack lunch and refillable coffee mug and a list of questions and/or issues you want cussed and discussed until solved, and settle in for five weeks of work. It is helping and learning from each other as well as from our instructor Bean and her sidekick, Anita."

You can bring your blogging questions but how do you ask questions about blogging topics that you don’t about yet? Each session we will start off with at least one tradition lesson, where Bean will provide instruction and exercises related to a relevant blogging topic that may be new to you. The rest of the session will be driven by student questions. Participation and practice will be the focus of this class. Part of the student’s learning process will include assisting other students via feedback and interaction. The instructor and assistant will provide instruction and assistance via:

  • the class message board
  • reading list
  • sharing of resources
  • short exercises
  • interaction on student blog
  • participation in relevant social networks

Blogging questions are limited only by your imagination, here are some possibilities:

Theme Customization Social Media Integration Monetization
Building Your Audience Writer’s Block Establishing Authority
Multi-user blogs Defining Your Niche Advertising Issues
Images Widgets Guest Posts
