The term "Blog" is short for "web log" and basically denotes an online diary or journal.
Since 1994 internet users have been "blogging" up a storm. In 1998 when OpenDiary started up, the blog scene became more interactive, allowing readers of diaries to comment on each entry.
Today, there are hundreds of different ways to blog online. From facebook to xanga, livejournal and google, internet users have many options to "publish" their lives.
Many, if not most, of your students already have blogs of their own. If they do not, then they are at least familiar with the idea of a blog. There are some great ways in which you can incorporate your students build-in interest and skill in blogging into many great lessons.
