Blogs are places on the internet that people can join and open a blog. What is a blog you may ask, well it is a place where people can write and explore what other people think of their writing, Teachers use the blogs to communicate digitally with students and other teachers. Sometimes people post their problems to get advice on what to do in certain situations, and lastly people can use a blog to keep a journal or diary.
One neat thing about a blog is that it can be public so people can respond, or private, as in keeping a diary. If a blog is private the only people who can see what you have posted are you and whoever you grant permission to see it. The way a public blog works is when a person post whatever is on their mind and where the blog is not private people can post comments about what is written.
Blogs can be a good or bad thing. A good thing about posting blogs is the some of the input from responses to your post may help you out with whatever concern or question you posted, but on the other hand a bad thing could be that whatever is put on the internet tends to stay on the internet so people need to pay attention to what they post.

Delicious

The lesson we learned on Delicious was pretty amazing and informative. When you need to bookmark something this is the site and it is also a good way to do your research assignments because you can keep certain pages that have information that you need and keeps you from having to keep up with the URLs. This site is something like a favorites page that you may have on your computer sceen but a little more detailed. You can enter in tags to tag your bookmarks as well as leave comments about the pages.
