Web + Log = Blog

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. (a new blog is created every half second)

Sample applications:

• Journal blog - collect and present student journal entries
• Filter blog - post a collection of items such as news stories, or as in this case, technologies
• Critique blog - critique music, works of art, scholarly articles
• Creative writing blog - publish serialized works of fiction, short stories, poetry; perhaps have students tell parts of a story, one writing after another
• Projects - Assign each student a different facet of a topic and have them research, write, edit, and publish their findings. The completed blog becomes a learning resource or study guide for tests.
• Blog of Blogs in Higher Ed
• Blog Search at Google
