A blog is the logging of someone thoughts, information,
experiences, passions…all in one place in the web!
It is a fantastic tool because in one click you can
share opinions, news and everything that you want in an easy way. A blog is a little
of who you are, the automatic expression of you in the web.
Firstly we must know that blogs are made for four main
sections: the header or the title, the sidebar (where you put things that you
want to highlight, widgets, etc.), the footer and the body. The body is the
most important area of the blog, is the main area where our thoughts and ideas
come to life.
Individual articles that you put in this area of the
blog are called posts.
In these posts you add thoughts, images, videos... These posts are
usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent post at the top of
the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. Posts have the option
for a comment section where others can add their own ideas and provide
feedback.
Nowadays,
with the advancement of technologies, mobile phones and all the different kind
of gadgets that we have, our blog can be seen at any time from anywhere.
Blogs
are for everyone! People for all ages share information and they maintain their
blogs updated daily for different purposes: school, work, play…
The
web has become an important resource for teaching and learning (National Center for Educational Statistics
[NECS], 2003). So, creating a blog is the perfect way to share our knowledge
and connect with other people, in this case with children. Why? Because, it is
one of the most powerful and motivating tools.
