Blog
Under communicative tool, we learned about blog. Today I will talk about using blog as a communicative tool. According to the online oxford dictionary, blog is “a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, which is written in an informal or conversational style.” It is a page or platform where individual person can write and share their thoughts, feelings, opinions or experiences on a particular topic. Now a day’s blog is becoming viral in social media to maintain their personal dairy, share articles and advertise the work. It is important for all to maintain blog as it has become a useful tools for any kind of work.
As a teacher it is our responsibility to teach students about maintaining blogs since blogs offer many benefits for education. Firstly, it promotes autonomous learning by providing opportunities for students to take more control of their learning. Secondly, it motivates students to become better readers and writers. Thirdly, it promotes discussion among students and lastly, encourages the use of the Internet and the Web among students (and teachers).
I created my blog to post related to what I have learned in ICT. I followed the steps from video that my tutor uploaded in virtual learning environment and I enjoyed creating my own blog. I learned a lot while creating blogs. I came to know about applying the themes for my blog, how to post the articles on my page, adding videos, creating links, sharing image, deleting and editing my post. I am still learning about this blog as I add articles and post it to public. When I am stuck with how to go on with blogging, I directly search information on internet and you tube where I follow the instruction and learn about it. I feel this blog is one of the important tools for us as we can express our feelings and information, get information, and it also help us to write.
Thank You

Its true as a teacher it is our responsibility to teach students about maintaining blogs and I strongly agree with this statement. We can not only help them in exploring the digital world but also improve their cognitive domain.
