What's a blog?

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.
