So much to think about... but it really is quite simple.... a blog is simply a collection of your thoughts on a subject... When I was growing up, we called this journaling. Putting to paper, or now screen, you thoughts.. many times for noone else's pleasure but your own. Now, in a highly social society, we share our thoughts with the world. Our thoughts are put into snippets of information and placed electronically on the world wide web for any and all to see. Sometimes we allow people to comment on our thoughts and we start a discourse on the subjects involved. Other times we choose to state our opinions and just allow the world a peak at our thought processes and our convictions.
A web page, on the other hand, is a much larger platform for making information available. Web pages may include blogs, pictures, text, videos and so much more. Often times our webpages are supported by commercial ads that help defray the costs of hosting the page. Some web pages are commercial in nature and others are just for relaying our family vacations. As we are learning in our course, web pages are also a great tool for getting our students involved and for communicating about our classes and subject matter. Many classroom teachers are creating web pages for their classrooms to host calendars of events, informatikon about the curriculum they are teaching and a place where parents can comment or volunteer to help out.
Both are tools in our quest to integrate technology into our teaching experiences.
