Blogging

Web Logs or "blogs" are web pages that are generated with software that commonly puts postings in reverse chronological order. One common software program to create blogs is http://blogger.com/ - owned by Google.
Sample application:

  1. Journal blog - to collect and present student journal entries

  2. Filter blog - to post a collection of items such as news stories, or as in this case, technologies
  3. Team blog - multiple posters to present group project - such as blogging the 23rd Annual Distance Teaching and learning Conference!
