Blogging Week
What is a Blog Mr. Pecunia.
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where 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 for 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 (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.
This week you will be creating blogs that are school appropriate and learning about computers and literacy at the same time.
You will have to submit 3 new, interesting, and tactful posts each day Tuesday to Friday.
Monday you will be setting up your blog and getting your first two posts in to the blog.
Have Fun!
