Blog: What is it all about?

So why all the talk about blogs? Is it really the most innovative publishing tool since the the printing press? Did you know that when it first started to take off in 2004 Webster’s dictionary made Blog the word of the year?

Read this post at Teacher’s First to start getting an idea about what a blog is and what it can allow you and your students to do.

Hi Mark-
Glad you and your teachers find our Blogging Basics for the Classroom helpful. Hope you will also mention the Wiki Walk-through when you get to that topic! As a not-for-profit, ad-free, FREE service, we need word-of-mouth to tell teachers about TeachersFirst so we can continue to get the funding to support our fellow teachers.

BTW, I found your blog using an RSS feed from Technorati. Maybe your teachers will want to learn about that, too! Best of luck with your new school year.
