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.
