Have you signed up to get my daily blog?
Back in January of 2012, I launched my blog with hopes of giving you great ideas to make teaching and learning more FUN for you and your students! I wanted to keep all the songs, stories, finger plays, games, and activities that I had collected over my many decades as an educator ALIVE. The world keeps changing, but children are the same! They want to be loved, they want to play and have fun with their friends, and they want to feel competent and capable.
At that time, my blogging software included a method for anyone to subscribe and receive notifications about new materials every day. However, this past winter, I received notice that the subscription service would be discontinued. What to do? Well, after some research and study, I found a service called Follow.It. I was able to download all of the subscriber info from the old service and then have it uploaded into the new service. (Well, truth is ya'll know I'm a dinosaur when it comes to technology. Alex May, my genius webmaster handled all of it.)
Follow.It Tech Support actually did most of the work for us. I have all of the previous subscribers enrolled in the new service, and I have a new “widget” on my blog where interested folks can submit an email address and begin receiving notices about each newly published issue of the blog.
Some of you may have missed an issue or maybe more than one issue during the change over. All should be good now, though.
The new subscriber service has features we were unable to offer previously. Most people won’t want to make any changes, but the feature to do so is part of this new follow.it software.
If you wish, you may visit your account and configure it to receive your emails at a different time or to change the format of those emails.
You can update your user name, your email address and your password.
You may also encounter mention of plans and fees. That section does not apply to people who are just following Dr. Jean’s blog and reading it. There is no charge for being part of Dr. Jean’s community. Those plans and fees are for someone who wants to host a blog. If you are interested in having your own blog, then that section might be for you.
