Nowadays the internet is an important tool for many teachers and also to many people, but nowadays is more use it for the teacher because, they use this tools to facilitate our learning. Some people can see the Blog like a hobby or other people like a social network whether, can be social network but with an use more serious and professional, is it depends that how you to use because if you use in a professional way is a good way to create and know new knowledge, but if you use it in a fun way can be good for some people but for some people not. But for use one blog we must to know, what is it about but already know that Blog: is Wed site where we can share our knowledge and also publishing tool where we can post easily self-publish text, and different artwork, links or also Work document, PowerPoint presentation and, we can publish videos about the topic of our blog. The Blog according the article is good tool, especially for teachers because have picked up on the creative use of this Internet technology for as create a technological environment in the students. And also the Blog has many benefits specially for the teacher because help their, according the article. Because give a highly motivating to students, and it true because through technology we can become part into some conversation, according to article this element of highly motivation is very important because it helps those who otherwise might not become participants in classroom and via Blog can do it and is good. Another important elements that the article shows, is read and write and I think that is an important point, because when I post something in my Blog I would have to have read, because if I have not read anything on my blog topic just write inventions or ideas that occur me and it wrong, because I must to know what I write in my blog and I be sure of the I what say. Also the blog can serve as a portal to foster a community of learners, because in the class the teacher can do a forum and through this, we can obtain new knowledge because when some topic is discussed among other classmate we can learn and obtain new vocabulary. In conclusion the Blog is an important tool, is just not to teacher also for the student because trough the blog we can share our homework or something like that, to other person can watch and know what you can do.
