Welcome to ‘Students Tutoring Students’ !
Your first task as a peer tutor trainee is to create your own Blog for this course. Your blog will be the place you post your ‘assignments’ for this course. The assignments will be things like your responses to readings, video’s, quizzes, tutoring sessions, etc. I will not be expecting lengthly essay’s and will prefer to see lists of ideas, suggestions and comments to show you have done the activities and thought about them with respect to your work as a Peer Tutor. To create a blog go to http://wordpress.com (see Link on the right of this page) and follow their simple instructions to create your blog. If you need help to do this make an appointment with me at the Learning Centre. Once your personal course Blog is created post a link to it here in comments for “Student Blogs”. We will set up RSS feeds to everyones blogs later.
The purpose of these individual blogs is so we can all network with each other and learn from each other as we go. Just a note of caution however, I do not want you using names of any of the students you may be tutoring in your Blogs, as it is a privacy issue.
Hi, this is a comment.
To delete a comment, just log in, and view the posts’ comments, there you will have the option to edit or delete them.
If someone already has a blog, can they use that? You may get the odd post that has not much to do with your Peer Tutoring course – but maybe consider that as the “get to know your students” post…
Uuummmm yes I suppose so if they categorise their posts.
Hi this is my blog address, no comtent at the moment

HI Will,
Welcome to you too! I am still learning how to be a Blogger too and I see from your comment that the link to your Blog is your name! so that’s very clever. I will add it to the Blogroll with the other three.
hi Helen,
Here is my new blog address
