Tonight I’m teaching a basic blogging workshop for the high school-aged members of The kNOw Youth Media in Fresno. The students involved in this project create a magazine, videos, and photography, as well as other media projects, as you can see on their website. Here’s the Prezi I’ll use and a collection of useful links for beginner bloggers below that.
