There are three basic types of education-related blogs: 1) "official face" blogs, single-purpose blogs, and 3) active learning blogs. Teachers have three options for creating their own website or blog: 1) a do-it-yourself option, 2) a commercially available option, or 3) a open source option.

This website gives you the options for building the website yourself or it can build it for you. If building it yourself, it gives you hundreds of different templates to drag and drop, it also includes a web host and n e-mail, and it gives you different online communication widgets. It also provides the website with website servers to improve the quality performance.
Summary and Conclusion: This chapter goes further than a teacher just simply sharing his or her ideas verbally and linguistically. It concentrates on the use of websites and blogs to share information and ideas in between students and teachers. This is probably the most effective way for students to learn, and be able to share their ideas in the form of the era we are living in, through computers.
And imagine how you can use these tools in your own classroom...which ones would you use and why? Let's see you develop your thoughts and reflections significantly more in the future (and remaining class) blog posts!
