Traditional web pages are defined as hypertext documents that utilize text, images, and/or sound to share information online. Web pages can also be considered online portfolios in that they share specific information directed toward a specific audience. Blogs, on the other hand, tend to be more reflective and incorporate frequent updates in the form of an online "journal." Additionally, blogs are typically followed by a community of users which also encourages ongoing communication via posts and comments. Blogs also use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) which is used to publish frequently updated works (i.e. blogs) and enables readers to easily interact and access favorite websites.

Hi, Amanda! I have witnessed so many changes since I started teaching. The amount of time we spend in front of a screen has increased dramatically. I look forward to working with you! -Alexis (my Blogger profile name is Eph91).
ReplyDeleteAre there blogs you especially like to read on a regular basis? If so, are they related to your teaching or to your personal interests?
ReplyDeleteIm interested to see how this conversation moves forward. Right now, I typically just read blogs (for enjoyment), however would love to find the time to follow more. I recently set up a Wiki (for my family) instead of a blog - thoughts?
