The Importance of Educational Blog

       Blog is one of the platforms where you can reach the updated information aobut not only language but also a life. It presents many facilities  for all people. That is to say, a young learner or an adult learner can easily get an appropriate answer to his or her question in their mind about language they try to learn or something they try to sort out.
       On the other hand, educational  blog is one of the types of blog in which you can find information about the language,the structure of language and how to learn or acquire the language input. It depends on the principle of 'i+1',and aims to use the language effectively,which is one of our objectives. When you enter into the blog,you will find any kind of knowledge according to all levels. With your contributions, we are going to develop the content of the blog all together.
      One of the facilities an educational blog presents is to help the students create something easily. So the student can construct a brigde between the new input and what s/he already knows,and create new ideas, which makes the knowledge permanent for the student. As everboydy who logs in the educational blog has an opportunity to comment on the posted text,to share his or her own opinion and to correct the mistake s/he sees, we can say that providing a personel writing space is one of the best characteristics that an educational blog displays.
      Furthermore,this promotes critical thinking. After evaluating the posted materials, the persosn can gain new perspectives as a consequence of different pointviews. This aslo means that people can interact with each other on a blog so that they can change their opinions.
     For  the teacher, an educational blog provides a lot of experiences. Both his or her students and his/her colleqiues can see what the teacher misses,and can add something to improve. So an educational blog applicable for information exchange as both sides have a chance to comment.
As an another perspective, you can find what you try to reach among the posted materials according to calendar. You can also reach these in the section of archive. By reaching the resources in the blog, you can give your project a shape. To complete your assingments, you can use the updated input in this blog. At the same tame, you can follow the updated news on other blog. Additionaly you can follow this blog on other social networks like twitter,facebook,etc.
    According to Gardner’s Multi-intellegence theory , all learners have different kinds of learning like visual,mathematical,linguistic,etc. Thanks to the educational blog,you can improve the kind of intellengence you already have,and you can take it a step further,or you can gain a new style of learning. On the other hand,the students can learn how to criticise a literal text when the teacher encourages his or her reactions,reflections by making comments on their blog.
   An educational blog presents a colloborative,communicative and also secured environment for the student to show and express himself or herself. Thanks to this,even a shy student can be more active by feeling responsible for something. So an educational blog is an environment in which the people feel relaxed,and act freely while communicating, which is the most important principle in language teaching and learning process.
