Webblogs reflexion


Nowadays blogs are an extraordinary way to express to anybody who has something to say. In the same way, is it a clear, easy and organized from to find new and original information not only in real time but also free and extremely accessible to anybody with a computer and internet connection. As the author says, Weblogs are truly a constructivist tool for learning, I agree because blogs are a strong tool to expand ideas, stimulate or create great thoughts.

One of the most interesting things about Web blog is the potential audience, basically anyone in the world interested in the topic would be able to find your public post information. I think this is the way many of the current issues that not necessary will appear in the news are now know by everybody such as KONY2012 and many others.
In the educational area, weblog provide students the opportunity to learn in a diverse way including videos, experiments and opinions equally from everybody part of the blog. As the author mentions, Weblog is a democratic tool that supports different learning styles. Just like there are different kind of students, weblog offers different kinds of information and ways to present. As an example a student that may be shy to speak in public, writing and posting in a blog may be a great opportunity to get to that child’s ideas. The possibilities with blogs are endless; I agree that we write not just to communicate but to connect with others who can potentially teach us more. For me, the most amazing thing about blog is the connection or the relationship that weblogs create between writes and readers. Time ago, writes and readers just never had the opportunity to share their feedback or maybe clarify things but now with weblogs the relationship between readers and writes is just parallel.
