What is a blog?
A blog (short for weblog) is a frequently updated website that often resembles an online journal. It's so
easy to create and update a blog - it requires only basic access to the Internet, and a minimum of
technical know-how. Because of this, it is one of the easiest ways to publish student writing on the
WWW. It's almost as easy as sending an email.
Nowadays, blogs can also display photos and some people are using them with audio and even video,
but this article will concentrate on the basics, showing how a simple text-based blog can be used to
great effect with your English language learners.
