Web Pages vs. Blogs

Blogs can be a useful tool in education and are different than the traditional web pages in several aspects. In blogs, guests can read the updated blogs and post comments and communicate with the author of the blog. It allows for sharing of information in an flexible, interactive way. Other guests may comment and discuss with the author of the blog as well as other individuals who make comments. On a traditional web page the information sharing is more of a one-way street. Information is presented by the website author for guests to view, but the guests cannot share their ideas and give their input.

  1. Do you have favorite blogs connected to your content area? Or perhaps you have blogs that you follow because of a hobby or interest? Which is it?

  2. I use blogs more for my own interests and professional development. I feel like I am constantly learning and have this urge to want to know more. By sharing information and learning from other's experiences I can become a better teacher myself.
