Hello R8A,
Now that we're starting to link up with students at Hillsdale, I want you to be able to create shortcuts for readers (and you) to be able to visit their blogs super quickly without having to type in the blog address every time.
Once you've logged in to blogger, go to your Dashboard. Select "Design". On the design page, select "Add a gadget". Scroll down the list of gadgets until you find "Link list". Select the "+" sign. This will open a window for you to edit your link list. Begin by adding my blog. Enter the blog address (http://pollockdigital.blogspot.com) or copy and paste it from another window. Write a title for my blog "Miss P's blog"/"My teacher's blog". Continue by adding your Hillsdale buddy's blog and other classmates' blogs that you refer to often.

A Happy Teacher
Thrilled am I.
I'm so absolutely ecstatic to see that Fielding and Hillsdale students have begun to connect. Please keep me posted on how your interactions are going and if you have any great ideas for collaborative digital tasks.
This is going to be really amazing, our new partnerships!

Welcome Hillsdale Students!
Welcome to our new friends from Hillsdale! We are so thrilled that we're going to be working together digitally this year!
Ms. Crosbie is a teacher in Oshawa who just got married last weekend (CONGRATULATIONS!) and who teaches grade 6, 7 and 8 students at Hillsdale. She found me online and we decided to hook up our classes and try some new ways of learning collaboratively.
I was intrigued to learn that Ms. Crosbie's school is called Hillsdale, because it reminds me of Hilldale, a fictional neighbourhood in one of my all time favourite movies, Back to the Future (warning: this link makes noise. Turn your speakers down first!).
Ms. Crosbie's students will be working on their first assignment this week. They'll be making their welcome posts and visiting R8A's blogs. Don't be surprised when you see that they've commented on the things you've written! Our next step is to check out their blogs, answer some of their questions and pose some of our own.
Yay! This is about to get REALLY good!
Hillsdale students, settle in, take a look around and enjoy yourselves! We're eager to hear what you think about the work we've been doing.
