=Top Secret Special Thing 2.5: Register for Your Spiffy New Blog=

So, your blog is the **lynch pin** for this whole experience, and we are working with a new, easy-peasy blogging platform this time around. It's called **21Classes**, and it's especially cool for teachers who want to blog with a group of students and have them all connected, easy to set-up, moderate and manage... blah, blah... more on that later.

Week 2 is all about blogging, but it would be super-helpful if you went ahead and registered for your blog RIGHT NOW. And that would also let you work ahead and explore and see what you can do (if you should want to do such a thing).

On **Monday, Feb 2**, the "official" first day of class, I will release some help resources for getting around in your spiffy new 21Classes blog, and I will also give you a sneak peek at Thing 3, in which you write your first two blog posts, from stuff I ask you to do in Things 1 and 2. You don't HAVE to work ahead, but you can. And you might want to. Cause right now this still seems a little bit novel and fun and exciting. Maybe. So, before you follow these super-simple instructions, you need to select the CORRECT portal. **

This would be the **name and color of the group to which you have been assigned**.

Is it:
 * AHA & Friends - []
 * East Knox & Friends - []
 * Iolani & Friends - []
 * Woodward & Friends - []

If you are not **absolutely sure**, please take a moment to check the course tracking spreadsheet. Your name is on the spreadsheet for your group. The spreadsheet is named and color-coded at the top to match the four groups. After you have registered your blog, please post your **21classes username** in the tracking spreadsheet.

So, once you are **sure of your group**, click the matching portal link (those links right up there) and follow these easy instructions:
