A blog is an easy to use website where you can quickly post information and have other people comment on that information. The power of blogs is not in the writing, it is in the thoughts, the comments, and the conversation that they can start, sustain, and take into a million different directions. As one blogger said, “I’ve always hated that idea that writing ENDS. It doesn’t. This post, the last post, the first post are all done FOR NOW, and when you blog, the ideas and the feelings usually end up rearing their heads down the road in some new, hopefully more evolved form. They don’t get put into some dust-collecting folder (or should I say folder icon) never to be heard from again. They stay alive, Google-able, and out there for people to read and respond to a week, a month, or a year from now.”
Blogging is reading and thinking and reflecting and then writing. It is about connecting and learning. As Karl Fisch points out, students then repeat the process all over as they read, think, relect, write.
Blogs are the opportunity to post any topics that you would like to type about. Great sharing tool. It’s very easy to get caught up in the content of good blogs.
