Welcome to Tech Tuesday! Today's first tech tidbit is an intro to blogging, the type of site to which you have now found yourself viewing. What is a blog, you ask? Blog is short for web log, and it is both a noun and a verb. I have created this blog as an online publishing platform. It can also be utilized as an online journal and/or a content-management system for organizing and facilitating collaborative content, as several of our Loyola Academy colleagues have done. (See the links on the left.)

The difference between web logs and web sites is that blogs are updated regularly and are interactive. Readers are allowed to comment to the content, instead of merely passively reading content. Just click on "comments" link below, and let me know what you think! Blogs are also multi-media, meaning you can add video, hyperlinks, and pictures to them, which can make them more interesting than just reading text. Scroll below to see a video example explaining blogs in plain English.



Thanks for playing!
