In a group, you will record your learning on a blog.  
Create an account to record your labs and fieldwork.
This blog is ANONYMOUS, so adjust the settings so that people CANNOT comment on your blog

BLOGSPOT
https://www.blogger.com
Choose to create a blog and you and your lab partner can be made blog contributors. You may submit your blog on microsoft teams by giving me the blog address (see below)

When you log in this is what you will see a dashboard that looks like this:


First Choose a theme

Next, go to Settings


Now go to "Basic" and enter a title  and description for you blog!  Do not write your name, student number, school or any other identifying info.


After you press settings, scroll down til you see "Publishing".  Here you will make your blog address

Finally, you must disable comments.  Scroll down til you see Comments


You may play with the    LAYOUT   section to design stuff, add headers.  But it can be kept very simple.
 
Now create your first post.  This post can be a photo or a drawing of ANYTHING INTERESTING that you saw in your neighbourhood (a leaf, a mushroom, a bug) as long as you saw it outside.  Let me know WHY you chose this to upload!
