Activity 13. Blogs in education

We suggest you some blogs!

What is a blog?





It is a type of website. Blogs usually have regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.


Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; the following suggestions are blogs about education.

1. Ensenyar llengua a l'alumnat no romànic
I like this blog because its main goal is to put in connection two different cultures. It's not only about chinese students learning our language,
it's also teachers learning about their culture.

2. Algo suena en la Fuencisla
A blog of a school, based on music. I like it because they post constantly. Its posts are related with what they do in class of music, and the blog itself is also visually atractive.
