I've read a couple of articles about blogging, how it affects our life today, and how it can be used in Education. We all know that ,recently, social networking sites have exploded across the web, and we all agree that these sites have both advantages and disadvantages. Blogging (using either Blogger, Wordbress, etc) is one of these social networking sites that keep you in touch with other people. The best description to blogs is personal online journal. There is no limit to what may be covered in a blog. People could write about their family, friends, work, or simply about anything.
As we investigate the use of the different forms of social networking, we will discover advantages and disadvantages of each. Blogs are online and available to everyone, typically several paragraphs, and available for comments. Twitter is short sound bits, quick and easy and can be managed by whom you follow and the use of tags. Facebook is quick, available to only those whom you choose, includes easy inclusion of multi-media and is vastly popular. These differences will guide us as to which to use as we choose a media for teaching or interacting among peers in our pursuit of better education.
