Blogs are a way for individuals to express themselves online. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blogging has become a fast, effective, and easy way for teachers and students to publish content and work cooperatively. The most common uses of a blog are: to share materials, news, downloads, links, and more with students, to facilitate online discussions by responding to blog posts and discuss topics through comments, to create a class publication that students easily publish to and receive comments so that we have a fully functional website, good relationships and cooperative community, to allow students to blog so that they can share their work and thoughts with me and I can edit them, to share videos, presentations slideshows, and more with students about the lesson, and to inform students about important events and activities within the school.
