However, you will also find random posts once in a while (music, things I find funny, etc).
Why a Blog?
A BLOG is a like a journal on the web with the advantage of being interactive and a lot more democratic. A Blog allows you to have a dynamic communication/conversation with your public what makes it a more interesting and engaging type of media. Your readers can collaborate with you by posting comments, adding links and ideas to your page.
I believe that Blogging is perfect for teachers and trainers because it allows them to “stretch the classroom walls” and take learners to the real world (the Web 2.0 world). It is easy to cross-reference disciplines and incite learners’ curiosity, as well as it is perfect to stimulate diverse learning styles by using not only articles and written documents, but videos, presentations, images and podcasting.
I truly hope you enjoy it!
