Blogger
The Google company spends some of their billions of dollars on
free services and software that once upon a time would have cost
users real money. Blogger is Google's free, browser-based service that is making good
on the web's promise to bring easy global communication tools to
the masses. Blogs are changing and challenging the established media
of the world, and they are also being used in numerous educational
contexts. With Blogger, anyone can, in 10 minutes, create an account
and post text and images to the world through their "web log"
or blog. Blogger is so easy that faculty should consider introducing
it to their students as a mechanism for publishing student work,
whether for organizing the ideas and plans of a student project
group, developing online journals, sharing field notes, or for publishing
polished, final reports and papers.
