Blogs

A blog is a frequent, chronological online journal intended for the public to read online. Creating a blog is very straightforward and there are numerous free platforms which make blogging simple, many of which are designed for educators.

We would suggest you try **Edublogs, Wordpress** or **Blogger** (by Google).
