Blog #5 Using and Evaluating a News 2.0 Tool - Nicole Wagner

Using and Evaluating a News 2.0 Tool
Blogs are used as online journals that are accessible to other users on the Internet. You can post anything on blogs such as photos, videos, and articles. You can also have everything that you put on your blog in an order where it shows the most recent post to the least recent. Your thoughts can also be shared on your blog so you can let other people know what your opinion or personal thoughts are on a certain topic. It is also very easy to use, and it's not complicated at all.
I used a blog for the Provincial Volleyball here in Unity. I used it to post videos of interviews with students, volleyball players, coaches, and parents. This kept an update on what was happening around the school so that other people that were unable to attend the tournament were able to see other events that were taking place. I chose to do this because it was a different way of getting recent events out onto the Internet.
This is a very useful tool for any kind of Journalism, and it was very helpful by getting out all of the recent events happening during the Provincial Volleyball. It was very useful for the Volleyball project, however I won't be posting my final project this way. Blogs are a good tool to use because it is very easy to use, and it is also an easy way for your opinions to be heard. Sometimes blogging can be difficult to get out the information that you want to get out to people because you might have to advertise your site in order to get more people to visit it. In general, blogging is a very useful tool that is very useful to anyone.
