What's a blog?



Hi everyone!!

This post is for people that have no idea what a blog is and how they can use it.
So, I'm going to answer some simple questions and provide some webpages for
those who want to learn more about this topic, blogs.

What's a blog? The Online Cambridge Dictionary defines the word blog as "a website, often updated daily, in which someone writes about their
thoughts or experiences relating to a particular subject". So, it is like an online
diary in which people write about their daily life or views.


What are blogs normally like
The majority of the blogs are really simple, just people writing about something
that they are all into, but some are very technical, containing professional editing,
sound, and music. This type of blogs takes a lot of time and money to produce.

In my opinion, the use of blogs can be very useful for teachers and students. Using
blogs, students can improve their writing and express their ideas about a topic.
Moreover, it would be a good tool for teachers to publish assignments and materials
for the subject. Consequently, it is a good way to learn the subject content through new
technologies.


As I said before, I'm going to provide some useful webpages that explain what a blog is
and how to use it:

When I was in high school, my Valencian teacher used to upload the information of the unit in a Blog. She used Wordpress. I remember that, as it was innovative, my classmates and I were really interested. In my opinion, blogs are really important in today's world since it gives you and your students great opportunities to learn through different ways. I teach English in supportive lessons and I use different blogs that  provide me useful material. One of this blogs is Valme's English Corner (http://valmeenglishcorner.blogspot.com.es/). It is a blog written by an English teacher. She uses blogspot and she uploads information related with the unit for their students, but also teacher resources. It's really helpful!!

Joomla! is defined as "a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content." It is a famous website that provides a variety of permissions to manage content, data or information of a website project, or intranet application. As an English philologist, I think I need to remark that Joomla is a multilingual platform that offers more than 70 languages. Joomla is really popular not only because it is free, but also because this webpage contains interesting features such as: personalize your webpage, the use of different templates, articles management, etc. One of the best options that offers this webpages is that you can add extensions. The extensions are really useful for business. I have chosen the following extensions:   - Unite Responsive Tile Gallery. It is flexible, easy to integrate photo gallery and build your unique photo wall with your custom settings. - Joomla Extension for showing your Facebook Albums into
