If you have never created a blog, consider using a site such as www.blogger.com to create a blog and then include a link to your blog within your post. If you already blog, include a link to share your blog with others in the course. Describe your thoughts on using a blog for a learning tool. Discuss the pros and cons of blog use. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
