'Blogging' - the term is a contraction of the term 'web logging' - is perhaps best described as a form of micro-publishing. It is easy to create use a blog, from any internet browser from anywhere in the world and is firmly establised as a method od communication. Lots of travellers, my daughter included, crate a blog to share their experiances with us less fortunate atill at home! The blogging phenomenon has evolved from its early origin as a medium for the publication of simple, online personal diaries, to the latest multi-modal technology, designed to engage people in collaborative activity, knowledge sharing, reflection and debate. Many blogs have large and dedicated readerships, and blog clusters have formed linking fellow bloggers in accordance with their common interests.
So if you are reading guys (that's you Ed Studies Year 1 2012/13) remember your blog will be your assessment for this module so ensure that you keep it up to date and interesting!
I found this site too which I though was interetsing if you are thinking of using blogs in HE.
