Weblogs are different than Web-pages in their layout.However, they can be published and updated as a web-page.Blogs can be used individually or collaboratively by teachers and students.They can be used in many ways, and for different educational purposes.

• Teachers can use them as an On-line Announcement Board, for example.
• Students can use them individually or collaboratively, as on-line journals, diaries, or to publish their writing assignments after they are corrected by their teachers. You can be creative and think of other ways to use a blog.
