a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom.
Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly. Blogs are often (but not always) written on a particular topic – there are blogs on virtually any topic you can think of. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies – blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine. Whole blog communities have sprung up around some of these topics putting people into contact with each other in relationships where they can learn, share ideas, make friends with and even do business with people with similar interests from around the world.

Why do we blog
Why Do We Blog is just the initial foray into an exciting new online project – On this site, I’ll be exploring, through interviews, why so many people sit at a computer and reach out across the internet – through the medium of written words – to find others who want to sit at another computer and read what they wrote, and sometimes to then interact (via comments or posting on social networking sites) – again through an exchange of written words. (Podcasting -audio blogs- and video blogging are also of interest to me as well.)Reference: http://whydoweblog.com/2010/09/hello-world/
Here are some other reasons for using blogs:
-To provide extra reading practice for students.
-As online student learner journals that can be read by their peers.
-To guide students to online resources appropriate for their level.
-To increase the sense of community in a class.
-To encourage shy students to participate.
-To stimulate out-of-class discussion.
-To encourage a process-writing approach. As an online portfolio of student written work.To help build a closer relationship between students in large classes.
