What Is a Blog?
According to http://www.teachervision.fen.com/educational-technology/resource/50508.html, "the term "blog" is the shortened form of "weblog" — a diary or journal on the Web. The "blogger" (or author) writes periodically about a certain topic of his or her choosing (personal experiences, thoughts, hobbies, political aspirations, etc.). The blogger can provide links to other websites that s/he thinks might interest the audience. S/he can also allow the readers of the blog to post comments and start discussions about the blog as a whole, or about a particular episode in the blog (one day's entry). Type in the words "teacher blog" in any search engine, such as Google, and you'll find that teachers around the country and the world are blogging all the time about their experiences in the classroom, from elementary school to high school and beyond."Blogs Worth Checking Out:
