Good afternoon everyone. I have been taking a really cool class called Instructional Technology. There are many great new ideas and tools that I have been learning in the past 5 weeks since starting this class. Today I have chosen to discuss a certain topic that is an important tool that I have learned / and am learning. I want to write meaningful blog posts. I like to journal, but that is not what blogging is about. It is meant for the sharing of valuable information. I found some extremely helpful tips when I was reading a blog titled "The Minimalists". They give 20 tips about how to make your blog meaningful. If you have time, then I would like to encourage you to check it out at following link : https://www.theminimalists.com/blog/   . I especially like the part where they advise to "be yourself". In this world now where social media is on  the rise, I could see how it could be easy for someone to portray themselves to be something they are not. I think it is important to "be ourselves". We are all different, and that is a wonderful thing because we all have different ways we can help others. Thank you and I hope everyone is having a beautiful day!
