Week 1- Blogs

What is a blog?


A blog is an online tool that enables people to effectively communicate with the world around them. It allows people to express their thoughts, share their opinions and discuss various topics in the form of an online journal/diary. People who use/comment on blogs are known as ‘bloggers’. These people are able to comment on others postings and provide links to other websites or articles that may be of use.


With assistance, a blog can also be used as a learning tool for educational purposes. In a school context, this form of technology would be useful not only to engage students in learning, but to create opportunities for students to reflect on their learning experiences and work collaboratively to discuss and solve current issues/events in today’s society.
