http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/02/05/what-is-a-blog/
According to the above link’s website, “A blog is type
of website whose posts or entries are arranged orderly
with the most activity appearing at the beginning of the
page, while the previous and the older posts appearing
at the bottom of the web page”.

2. Definition continued
• Blogs are usually—but not always written and
maintained by a singular person on a specific
topic or a myriad of topics.
• Some of the features that define a blog based
on the provided link’s website include;
archive, comment and updates.

3. UNIQUENESS OF A BLOG
• Blogs can serve as place to mine or obtain knowledge. Presently, there is
plenty of blogs in the internet that can serve as providers of information
on given topics with short period of time. Additionally, there are blogs that
provide news on specific topics like technological transformation, etc.
• It is absolutely true that writing for blogs repeatedly improves one’s
abilities to write. It is a conventional knowledge that if someone repeats
something severally, he or she ends up improving skills and also
knowledge.
• Any person who uses internet has knowledge that blogging can be used
as source of livelihood. In the present society, there are many people who
make lump sum amount of money by either writing articles or even
promoting products for companies. Nevertheless, there are other ways of
making money trough blogging.
• Blogs can also encourage interactions because many people blogging on
diverse topics may meet on internet and share ideas and communicate on
other issues.

4. UNIQUENESS OF BLOGGING
CONTINUED
• Bloggers can exchange information among
themselves and also provide some
information to the normal people who may
need answers to given questions.

5. USES OF BLOGS IN EDUCATION
Class blogs can be utilized as a supporter to a
group of people intending to learn. Because
blogs can be easily and readily be updated,
students are at a position to be kept present
with the information that is available.

6. Uses continued
• Because blogs can be readly accessed, they
create a channel of a formidable
communication channel between instructors
and learners. Instructors can advice students
through blogs accordingly, as students are free
to learn through interaction with peers.
Additionally, electronic online mentorship is
made possible through blogs. Research and
cooperation is possible in blogs.

7. Uses Continued
• Blogs offer liberty to the people to make
contributions freely and equally to discussions
and debates. They offer students an
opportunity to comment, recommend or even
advice one another. Instructors can gather
groups with similar interests for a given
purpose through blogging.

8. Uses continued
• Blogs can be used by students in developing
electronic portfolios. The ability for blogs to
archive older blogs is an idea vital in managing
files and information. Because learners know
that their work is due to publication, they are
likely to carry out better writings and
research.

9. Did it replace or enhance something
else used for corporations or teaching?
• Blogs as a social media, is a new idea that has
enhanced the traditional ways of learning and
instructing. Blogs can be thought as a second
virtual classroom that can be used together
with normal physical classrooms. Blogs have
made instructing and learning more wide in
terms efficiency in knowledge dispensation
and cooperative learning.

10. How does it work for Milennials,
digital natives? Or for adult learners?
• Blogging is an activity that cuts across the
board. Anybody who has views and would
love to air them, is always welcome. Blogging
is mainly for those people who like writing or
putting ideas down. Therefore, blogging boils
down to personal interests rather than groups
of people.

11. What are you Concerned about or the
needs to be adressed?
• To me, I view blogging as a perfect platform
for self expression and freedom of
participation. As a believer of liberty to all
human beings, for now blogs are great and
without flaws, I think. I would only wish to
have more people access to blogging through
connecting them to the internet.
