The ideal blog is informative, useful, and visually stimulating. The Blogosphere is a vastly diverse community, and just about anyone can find a niche to fill. For the purposes of the Inquiry Institute, we will be focusing on creating a blog that is geared toward educating the reader and preparing him or her to research a particular subject.
As a teacher, you know the power that media has to incite students' enthusiasm for learning.
Largely due to the rise of the Internet, this generation of students is highly visual in the way that they learn.
