Emerging Technology #2

Another emerging technology is obviously the blog, first introduced to me this week via our new course.  Like a Wiki, information can be added but is not necessarily based in fact.  Actually some blogs seem to be very far-fetched but are meant to be a creative way to disperse information that already existed (Liaw & Warschauer, 2010).  Again, there are many differing blog platforms and I selected the one that is Google based due to my trust in the product.  The editing is meant to be straightforward and similar to a word processing software but the way it is presented and edited can be endless.
