Writing a diary online with PENZU

Penzu is a journal you can write on line. Regular writing is perhaps one of the best habits for budding writers to engage in. With Penzu, you can keep a diary online that's entirely private, or share it with others selectively.
It is not necessary to create an account to use it, but unfortunately,  your files will not be saved! So my advice would be to create an account. Is very easy! I will help you below how to do it.
I've chosen this website because it is another way to make our students write, as it is funnier and attracks the students' attention. It also changes their minds that WRITING is a boring task. With Penzu, the students love writing. Apart from that, you can add images and change the lay-out of the journal sheet.

HOW TO DO THIS?

Go to http://www.penzu.com. As I have said before, it’s better that you create an account because all your work will be saved. So clic on SIGN UP: CREATE YOUR FREE JOURNAL. You will fill in with your personal information and then, Clic on I AGREE ON THE TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY and finally SUBMIT. You will receive an e-mail in which the website PENZU welcomes you. 

























So now let’s see how to create a journal. Go to http://www.penzu.com again. Clic on LOG IN. Write your e-mail and password and then, LOG IN. 














You will see a picture like a cover of a book, clic on YOUR NAME’S JOURNAL.(in my case is FLORENCIA’S JOURNAL)













Now you will see the sheet of paper to write whatever you want. You can add photos, print your work, change the format, etc.
In my example, I have uploaded photos from my computer.It’s wonderful! Try it! It’s fantastic!













Here you have an activity to use PENZU:
