Blogs offer many possibilities for use in educational processes. For example, to encourage students to: write , exchange ideas, work in teams to design, visualize instantly of what they produce, and so on. Creating Blogs by students offers teachers the opportunity to perform processes requiring synthesis, because writing on the Internet should be timely and solve the issues they address.
Teachers can use blogs to reach out to students in new ways, without having to limit their interaction to the classroom only. For example, publishing materials immediately and allowing access to information or resources needed for classroom projects and activities, thus optimizing the time. It also offers students the opportunity to improve the academic content, enriching them with multimedia elements such as videos, sounds, images, animations.
