Tech Tool: Blogs

Dr. Gian Pagnucci

Tool Overview

Blogs are an exciting way to share your own writing with others. A blog gives you a chance to voice your thoughts to the world (or at least the world as represented by those people who can find your blog). Since so many people are using blogs these days, we'll spend some time learning how to use blogs and thinking about their implications for literacy education in the 21st Century.
