A blog is a personal website that contains content organized like a journal or a diary. Each entry is dated, and the entries are displayed on the web page in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent entry is posted at the top.

Readers catch up with blogs by starting at the top and reading down until they encounter material they’re already read. Though blogs are typically thought of as personal journals, there is no limit to what may be covered in a blog. It is common for people to write blogs to describe their work, their hobbies, their pets, social and political issues, or news and current events. While the earliest blogs were created by hand, blogging becam widely popular with the advent of blog authoring tools. Blogs are connected to each other to form what is commonly known as the ‘blogosphere’. How To Use Blogging In Learning. Educational Leadership:How Teachers Learn:Learning with Blogs and Wikis.
