Week 1-Digital Tool1 Blogs

If you would have asked me last week what a blog was I would have looked at you with a blank expression and shrugged my shoulders before sneaking off to hid.  Over the last few day working with E-learning I have gained an appreciation of just how important Blogging can be as both an educational tool and a form of social interaction.  It has shown me that I am not the only technological deprived person on the planet and given me the courage and determination to explore learning and teaching with the use of technological aids, ensuring I become a productive Learning Manager.

Educationally Blogging has a myriad of uses for teacher, parent and students and is a useful tool in thrusting not only teachers but also student and parents forward into the ever developing work of technology. Blogging encourage self evaluation and reassessment of ideas, professionalism in writing through accuracy and authenticity, expanding of knowledge,  and the desire to acquire and share in the diversity of human knowledge and inquisitively.  It's uses are endless while the speed and availability of Blogging to all age groups, professions, social, religious and cultural classes affords it diversity that has until now been unavailable.  In an ever changing technological society Blogging is a tool that lends itself practically to allow interaction not only with great speed but also across continents
to those of us who seek information for self learning and growth.
