The ability to post online gives you the freedom to get your message out to everyone on a world wide scale. There is no limit to what online blogs can do. You can post your thoughts for everyone to read, homework assignments, and even just share things like videos with all who want to be a part of the sharing circle. Sharing is caring, and we can now share with everyone. Check out the Volleyball blog: 4A Provincial Volleyball

I used the blogs to do all above things. It was a very helpful tool during the volleyball project because it gave us the ability to share our broadcasts, interviews, and stories with thousands of viewers. This is a very new way to share information and it is showing no signs of slowing down. We are now using to hand in our homework assignments, such as these blogs themselves. All of my interviews during volleyball were uploaded to the blog.

For our final project we will not be using the blogs, but if we were doing something that involved posting it would be a great way to get our thoughts on drug and alcohol abuse out there. It is very useful when you want to share information with peers. The problem with blogs is not everyone has access to the internet; this can be a huge problem if your audience is one of these people. Let just say your target audience is the elderly, many people from that generation refuse to use to the internet, that is not to say all feel this way, but it is a factor we have to consider.
