USING BLOGS IN ENGLISH CLASS.

The Blogs are like personal more simple Web Sites, but they are easier to use. One has to open an specific email account and create a blog.

By doing this operation, our personal space in the Internet is abailable for us to upload any kind of information or images, and also for others to see it or read it.

This is why using the Blog method to practice the English Lenguaje is very usefull.
The teacher can upload in his or her Blog the work and the lesson for each class, and the students will enter to the teacher`s Blog and download the info. It is an usefull, easy and fase tool for the teacher.

Now, the teacher must do good use of it by encouraging his or her students to write and post texts about interesting subjects.

Inside this tool`s menu, one can have a list of our favourite sites or other blogspots of our preferente, like our friend`s. This way one can click on the Word and make a link.

It is important that not just the teacher reads and make a comment on one post, but also the classmates should do it to improve their spelling and/or note the mistakes others do.

We`ve talked about the advantages of racticing English writing through Blogspots, but these also have some disadvantages, and teh first one , and this happens with the Internet, is that peopleloose that real and live connectyions with others, and this affects human relationships.

I reccomend to work with Blogs at the English class followed by a spelling checking.
