Getting Started with Blogging

Blogging is an increasingly popular form of internet publishing that is beginning to gain the interest of elementary educators as a tool to communicate, inform and develop students as authors. Blogs (web-logs) are essentially online journals that writers can easily update to publish ideas and information that is then readily available to anyone with internet accesss. Through blogging sites such as Blogger teachers can create web logs that students can easily post to. Blogs can be used to publish stories, artwork, photo galleries, and audio files or podcasts.
