A blog
It is a website in which one or more authors
publish texts or articles chronologically, the most recent appearing first, and
where the author always retains the freedom to publish. A blog can be used to
publish own ideas and opinions of others on various topics. Also we can add resources
such as images, YouTube videos and Slideshare presentations, many blogs are
personal diaries, ranging in length from brief notes to extended essays; many
are on topics of general interest or concern, such as a hobby or political
issue.
A paragraph telling the way
you would use the tool for teaching
Taking account that a blog can be used to publish own
ideas and opinions of others on various topics. I would use this tools for
share the ideas from every student and I would use a blog for a class where can
develop a discussion around a topic. , and for better teaching I would use the topics
of general interest by students. And this
way the students to express their individual thoughts and also comment on the
opinions of others students.
A
paragraph telling the importance of using the blog
Blogs are an increasingly important communication tool
in social, work and academic contexts. The most blogs are text based but often
combine the text with images and links to websites and other blogs and media related
to its topic and therefore the blogs are interesting and interactives, A blogs
can be a two-way tool that allows interaction between the writer and the reader
with facilities for people to comment or offer feedback on what the blogger has
written. Other importance is that the blog is a personal publishing tool that
means any individual or group can publish on the web and receive feedback from
others. Moreover the Blogs are easier to use, so you only have that you have an
email in Gmail register and making an entry, the only thing you have to do is
to click “Write” in the administration menu and then start writing, after you
have written a post, you need to tag it so that other people can find it easily.
And the most important is that a multi-author blogs is that say that you can
also have a blog set up so that it can be shared between many users a blog can
have many authors in the same blog and this way we can create collaborative
works.
