One of the great features of blogging is that it can be in many formats. Many blogs are written texts like ours but many others are in audio (podcast) or video (vlog) format. Some blogs use all three formats.
Podcasting is similar to free radio on the internet but it's free and it's produced by people like you and me. If you've seen the KNUE Podcast, you'll know that podcast or audio blog might have a player like this. Click the play button to hear a message from Nicole

Young students' computer skill is amazing. They prefer to chat on line such as cyworld. As a homeroom teacher if I ask them to write about their feelings and what is happening around them, then I get to understand them more.
Next semester I will do and them I'll tell you it works or not.
Oh, really nice materials here..
I think I can use this as homework materials for my students every week. They visit and listen to some and submit summary to me. Oh, it's a good idea, isn't it?
