A blog is essentially a diary of thoughts, it can be formal and informal, people can add comments to a blog or pose questions to the author of the blog. Blogs are useful in putting ideas across in an easy and simple to understand way. Their use in education is important, it is yet another way teachers can present ideas to students and get feedback from the students. By students making their own blog the teacher is able to see what it is the student understands as well as the students being able to put some creativity into their blog and making it interesting as well as providing points or ideas that the teacher may not have thought about. It allows students to build on the knowledge taught in the class by them being able to think about the concept by themselves and then put their ideas down. Other students may also be able to view and comment on their classmates’ work.
