Learn about Blogs at Penn State

This video provides a quick overview of the Blogs at Penn State project. A blog, or Web log, is an online journal maintained by a person or a group of individuals with entries listed in chronological order. Many blogs are set up to allow others to comment on original entries. Entries can include text, images, audio/video, links, or embedded content from other sites. You can use a blog for personal reflection, to take notes, share pictures, or publish movies, and for any other purpose that you can imagine.

In addition to creating a traditional blog, anyone at Penn State can use the Blogs at Penn State service to create a more professional Web site or online electronic portfolio. Some instructors are using the blog software to post course-related resources and some work groups within Information Technology Services have been experimenting with using it to create their group's Web presence.
