What is a blog?

A blog is an ICT (Information Communication Technology) tool. It is on the computer and internet-based. Blog stands for web log which is a 'log' on the internet.

Blogs can be used for showing your learning, telling people about yourself, telling people about this amazing adventure you have had, well, basically anything! Other people can have a look on your blog. They could also give you feedback or their ideas, even if they are on the other side of the world!!!

But, you may not want everyone to see it and of course you have to stay safe. So you could change settings so only some people can see your blog. Or only some people be able to to post a comment on it, or nearly anything! Also make sure you know what you are clicking on because it might be a trap!

Now a blog might seem to you like a story book on the internet but it is much better than that! Their are awesome themes and fantastic backgrounds you can can change your blog to. You can also and widgets and gadgets, photos and movies and loads more!

So that's what a blog is, so I would recommend that you try it out!!!

  2. Hi Andrew.

    it sounds as though you're going to enjoy having your own blog. What do you think you'll share with people? Do you want everyone to be able to see and comment on your posts or are you goingto restrict it?
