BLOGGING in preview

A blog  is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting).Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

There are so many possibilities with blogging. Using your imagination and creativity, there is no end!

A blog entry usually consists of a title, headline, body, post date, comments, tags, and more. One great thing about blogs is that they are almost always customizable. You can select your template (which determines how your blog looks, including its layout), which is usually provided by the blogging company you are using. You can also find other templates by searching on other sites, which I will discuss in a later article.

How much technology should be provided to students and teachers?

We live in a technology-based world, so using technology should be second nature. However, just because something CAN be done, it need not necessarily BE done.

RELEVANT INFORMATIONS: SHOULD YOU TRUST A WIKI FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH?

RELEVANT INFORMATIONS: SHOULD YOU TRUST A WIKI FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH? comment on my blog

SHOULD YOU TRUST A WIKI FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH?

Since wikis are free content there is a possibility that they contain misleading, biased, or otherwise false information. Citing a wiki as a source for academic information is often frowned upon for this reason. Also since information on a page can be changed and reworded there is no guarantee that the information used will exist later for either your or another persons use.
A wiki can however be a good place to start to find information for academic research. Most wikis including wikipedia push to have information cited at the bottom of the page. You can therefore find the information you need on a wiki and then find the original source. This allows you to not only verify the information given to make sure it came from someplace reliable but it also gives you a book or some other publication that contains more information on the subject you are researching. These resources can then be cited in academic papers unlike a wiki.
