Blogs

A blog, a.k.a. a weblog, is a webpage with a series of short, dated entries posted by an author or small group of authors. Blogs are an electronic notebook for students to cultivate writing skills, share and compare thoughts, and reflect upon classroom lessons and activities. On the flip side, blogs can also provide you with an opportunity to share your classroom experiences and reflect upon your teaching strategies with your colleagues.
