Bonjour, mon ami! Here we meet again on the second week of class. Today, my lecturer shared about a topic on Blog Writing for English Language Technology. In this topic, it consist on types of blog and the pros and cons of blog. For me, blog should be featured as a form of education in Malaysia, as the importance of blogs in institution is clearly evident. Blog as well, can be a site to disseminate information about the studies they work on. Through blogs, teachers can get better teaching techniques and can be practiced for their students.

The types of blog are Weblog, Tutor blog, Class blog and Learner blog. Firstly, Weblog are easily-updated online journals that combine text with images, videos, and links to other web sites or other blogs. According from the ComputerHope, many weblogs are like a personal journal or a look into another individual's life and can be a way to learn about people, events, places, and more from people around the world. Meanwhile, Tutor blog is one of the platform that run by educators which contain the class materials, course information, homework and share about any cultural experiences that is related to the teaching material. Class blog is also related to Tutor blog. It is a site where the educator and students able to exchange their thoughts on any specific discussion and it makes the students more participate on the content. This blog is moderate by the educator or teacher itself. However, learner blog is a student personal space where it is used just like an online journal. Students will be encouraged to write their own reflection on lesson that have learned in class or sharing their interest. From here, educator able to evaluate the impact or outcome from their teaching process.

All in all, for me one of the nice things about creating a blog is that the only things you need to get started are an internet-enabled device and some time to write. Whether you are using a computer, a laptop, a tablet, or even a smartphone, there are plenty of free applications and tools available to help you get your thoughts on the page and out to the web. Okay see you in the next class! Au revoir!
