What's online writing in the form of a blog?

     Online writing in the form of blogging is a new concept and experience for me. This brings me back to last summer when I was introduced to moodle an online resource for teachers to share information and create lessons. Especially, for project base learning which was the drive behind creating moodle.  Moodle integrates the teacher world and provides a technology component for lessons.  I was fortunate to create a lesson and then teach it new philosophy school that is based on technology.  Once again a class is prompting me to create a new online apparatus that I question its purpose and validity.  I am warming up to the idea and enjoy reading friends blogs that are created for study abroad trips etc., but my own personal use has not yet been a high priority.
