Tutorial Three: Blogs

As a requirement for this paper, we must set up and update a regular blog with information learnt from the course. A blog is a website, where people can set up their own personal page and update it with any information they want to share. It can be written like a diary, a journal, a travel log, a political voice, anything the author wants. It is interactive, with others able to view and comment on it and the information can be linked to a variety of other internet sites. It is fully controlled by the author, who can set it up with their own personal preferences, control who views it and edit any comments that others put on it. It can also be used to link people with common interests, as well as sharing photos and website links that they may think others will find interesting. Blogger.com is one of the main websites offering a simple way to get into this, however there are others such as twitter and facebook, which allow basic blogs, through to specialist blog sites in different subject matters.

So, blogging is a great way of sharing information and gives us as students a chance to record our learning during this course and share it with others.
