ABOUT BLOGS!

Matisse Enzer’s Glossary of Internet Terms puts it this way:

"Blog -- (web LOG) A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog."

My first blog was created in Fall 2007 when I was taking Marine Biology here at NMC. We were required to open up a blog and use the blog as assessment purposes for assignments and projects given by instructor. This class was really fun because of the fact that it was field work for its labs and updating status in this course as required by instructor is through blogging. I was new to all this blogging but learned that it is widely used as journals or just keeping others updated on your side! I've seen bloggers with lots of different blogs for different categories or purposes in life. This blog that you are viewing now is my second blog that I've opened up. I look forward to creating more blogs!!! I would definately use BLOGS in my classroom not only to "Save the Trees" but, to expose my students to the growing technology of today's world! I rate BLOGS, BLOGGING, and being a BLOGGER.... a 10 out of a 10!! because there are so much advantages in this software.
