From: Cheryl Lambert
The term "blog" (a shortened version of "web log") is new to many of us at Ohlone. If there are *any* questions (even ones that seem very basic to you) about blogs or wikis or other terms, I encourage you to contact me!
Here are a few interesting articles about using blogs in education:
- How you SHOULD use blogs in education

FREE BLOGGING SERVICES
I have recently learned about several free add-free education-related blogging services in which faculty, staff, and administration may be interested. (They use WordPress, a popular blogging program.)
- Edublogs at http://edublogs.org/
"Free blogs for teachers, trainers, lecturers, librarians and other edu professionals."
A FREE ad-free account on Wikispaces (http://www.wikispaces.com/) is included. - Uniblogs at http://uniblogs.org/
"Free blogs for university [college and higher education] students." - ESLblogs at http://eslblogs.org/
