Why use blog in teaching-learning process?

-Why should use blog?

Before talking alot about the usage of blog, we have to know what blog is. Based on Wikipedia, blog is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first. From the definition which is given by Wikipedia we can consider the keywor of blog usage "discussion and information).Here, I will give some reasons why should use blog:

1.It is free,whoever you are, you can make your own blog.The things are needed just laptop/PC/smartphone/tab,the internet access and also your own thinking.Don't have enough money to buy laptop or smartphone?Just ask for your friend to lend you one for 15 minutes or more :D

2.A great place to write diary.Few decades ago,pens and books were the things nedded to write diary, but now you can make your diary more interesting and communicative(you can post you best memory pictures there).This idea is supported because Bruce Ableson,an American computer programmer and wbsite developer,in 1998 Bruce launched Open Diary,it is the first blog community where people can write their diaries and let the people to comment their entries.In addition,writing online diary makes your writing skill developed :)

3.The best way to share information with people around the world.In this case, you start to think globally, look the problem from different perspective.Sometimes people just think based on their own ego, but when you start to jump into the global community you will train yourself to accept diversity and think out of the box.You can build your curiosity to travel around the world because you will see how beautiful something outside.Here, we can also browse news quickly.You don't have to wait toworrow's newspaper just to know what is the new issues.In just a few minutes people can post the new issues and it is served in front of your ways.

4.Supporting higher level of education.Technology now is the most important point to support teaching-learning process in interesting way. Jonassen (1997) suggests "well-structured" learning environments are useful for novice learners and that "ill-structured" environments are only useful for more advanced learners(taken from Wikipedia). The best learning environments can be supported with technology, students can do their independent learning and will be curios to know what will they learn because the interesting way of teaching-learning process by using technology.

5.Best place to earn money.You can sit nicely in your home but the money still comes to you if you know how to use blog in business way.
