Blog incentive quiz -- for a $5 Starbucks gift card

Remember how you first were getting acquainted with email or the Internet? Now, it's part of everyday life. Blogs, like any form of change, can be a little daunting at first. Even the word 'blog' can send shivers of terror among some.

In order to encourage use of this form of 'anywhere' and interactive communication, we're offering an incentive. Take some time to surf around and get yourself acquainted with the blog. Look at who's a fellow author, related web links, post topics (or 'labels'), and the articles themselves. Then answer the four questions in the quiz below.

Send your quiz responses to Wendy Hausotter at Wendy.Hausotter@state.or.us. If you're one of the first five respondents, you'll get a FREE $5 Starbucks gift card!

THE QUIZ:

1. How many posts are under the label "Tips for Parents/Educators"? What are the subjects of these posts?

2. If you weren't sure or don't remember how to log in & post an item to the blog, what could you click within the blog to get help?

3. Now, try logging in using your username (your full email address) and password (which is, unless you changed it, a word that rhymes with 'retention'). Once you've logged in, click 'view blog' and post a comment to ANY one of the articles/posts in the blog.

4.What are the primary barrier(s) that you may have with using this blog?

Thanks!

Remember to send your quiz responses to Wendy.Hausotter@state.or.us if you want one of those gift cards!
