First Steps…

You should all have a valid login now…which provides you with a Hautlieu Creative account so that you can start creating and curating your own blog.

This will be your normal, everyday login details. We expect you to check your emails everyday too…and get used to using Office 365, and follow us on Twitter too (HautlieuC).

The blog provides you with a neat platform to showcase your learning, including knowledge and understanding and of course your images too.

You should access to the Media Drive (M : Drive)…this is where you must store all of your files. Please check this!

We will teach you step by step how to use the blog…then it is down to you to look after it and present your work as thoughtfully and carefully as possible. Each time you publish a blog post…it is then available for marking and assessment. Unpublished work will not normally be marked…thus affecting your progress and success.

We will comment on your blog posts…which will appear as a new email for you. You are expected to respond to the advice and suggestions accordingly. We constantly track your approach to lesson, independent study and overall progress.
