What are we blogging about ?

WHAT ARE WE BLOGGING ABOUT?  Many teachers and some of my students always  ask me such a question when I introduce them to blog ! When they intend to learn further after knowing the beauty of blog that’s another thing…..

Technology is allowing anyone with a computer, the ability to type, and an Internet connection to become a published author—of sorts. Web logs, or “blogs,” are the latest way that students, businesses, and many others are publishing their musings.

 More importantly, blogs are “typically updated daily” and that “blogs often reflect the personality of the author.”
