Blog
A Blog or Weblog is an online journal. There are a lot of software platforms available for blogging, including Blogger, Movable Type, TypePad, and B2, but the most popular choices for teachers are Blogger and WordPress.
Blogger is the grandfather of the blogging world.
Pros: Quick and easy for beginners to setup and get started. Blogger is now owned by Google, so your content will live on their servers. Expect near 100% uptime for your site, and lots of integration with other Google applications.
Cons: Blogger only offers a hosted solution.
WordPress is one of the most popular publishing platforms available today.
Pros: WordPress comes in two flavors, WordPress.com the hosted version and WordPress.org the source code. This means that as your technical expertise grows, your blog can grow with it. WordPress is free, easy to customize, and there is an incredible community of volunteers hard at work improving the source code every day.
Cons: To fully customize the hosted version at WordPress.com you might need to upgrade your account. Blogs are virtual communities where creativity, self-expression, and interactive discussion are encouraged.
Blogs accommodate, encourage, and engage many learners. Blogs can be used in almost any discipline and in a number of different ways.
