What is a BLOG?
-A BLOG is short for Web Log.
-It is like an on-line journal shared with others. Each entry in your journal is called a post.
-Some blogs are private - seen only by people who are invited to see what is posted (as of now,our class blog is private)
-Some blogs are public- anyone in the world can see the posts.
-Remember that a blog can be seen by others so when you post, pretend you are in a crowded room surrounded by lots of other people who are listening! *If you wouldn’t say it in a crowded room, please don’t post it on the blog!
