Blogger presentation

This blog is for my ed presentation Monday, so for those of you at home, sorry. This will most likely be boring for you. However, for Tom, Kate and Nate, Lizzy and I will now explain how blogs work and how they are educationally useful.
First, a blog is actually a "web log", or "weblog", shortened to "blog." There are a few ways to publish a blog. Blogger, obviously, is one (this one). There is also Blog Organizer, Blogware, Blog Wizard, and Diary 2002, to name a few.
Blogs have been useful in the classroom by allowing students a forum on which to read information and assignments and comment back on the "comments" panel thing, either asking questions about the assignment or discussing different topics with classmates.
Alright, the rest we will talk about in class tomorrow morning.
