What Is A Blog?? You may be thinking? Guess what it's your lucky day and i will give you a brief discription of it!

A Blog:

They form part of a website or in this case of the blog i am writing now, it is on a specific blog website. Blogs are like a internet base document like word but on the internet, once you have posted the blog, your friends can make comments and quotes on it to complete the package of the blog. As the blogger you have the power to edit your work as somethink arises or update the specfic news on your blog. Each blog can be based on individual writing of current news / sport, family news or personal views on a subject. You can add graphics or videos to add more interest to the blog you are currently writing or post it to support your views on the subject. Each blog can be in the format of a essay, paragraph,diary entry, news entry but its virtually up to the blogger in which way they wish to set out the blog. In this blog i am currently writing, it is in the form of a paragraph. Blogs are a common practice in todays 21st century, with bloggers being all types of people from journalists, teachers, office workers or even teengers expressing there views on a subject or creating news for family / friends or community.

To sum up what is a blog, a blog is a piece of information placed on the internet in the form of a paragraph,story or news piece. Where the authors can express their views or news on the subject, Plus friends and families can add comments or quotes to complete the piece and discuss the details of information associated with the blog.

I believe Blogs can be very effective in a modern society at schools or universities. As it is a way of networking between teaching staff and students- as a teacher it can be very effective i believe through posting homework tasks, upcoming assessment tasks or key dates of the term to inform the students. Plus with the comments and quotes option it gives the students the chance to discuss those details through this application on the blog websites and the teacher has the chance to discuss,clear up any concerns or help those students away from set class times through providing extra information on their subject.
