Blogs as ENO Learning Diaries

Blogs as diaries in the ENO Programme

A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary ), displayed in a reverse chronological order .

Blogs often provide commentary or news and information on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries . A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media .

We have used manual diaries in the ENO Prorgamme. This is an alternative way to put up your work and experiences during the ENO schoolyear 2006-07.

1. CREATE YOUR BLOG

4. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTENTS

As these diaries are connected to ENO we would like them to be relevant when it comes to contents. ENO programme is not responsible for these blogs but learners. Teachers should follow these diaries online and comment them.
