The morning was spent sharing a few views on what we learned the day before, and then we went on finding out about how to create a blog and how to use it for pedagogical purposes.
Blog - short for weblog. Let's read a definition for "blog":
"A weblog is a journal (or newsletter)"A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog.

Blogs used for educational purposes are becoming more and more a means for educators and students to interact more effectively than ever before.
In the afternoon we dedicated ourselves to doing some research and then preparing a text on a town we would like to visit. Hard choice! Anyway, I had to make my choice, and so... New Orleans! Here I go! :o)
Let's start with some music just to create the right atmosphere.
The town is located along the Mississipi river and it was founded by the French people in 1718 becoming the capital of French Louisiana.
The sugar industry characterized the growth of trade on the Mississipi.
New Orleans is one of the most visited cities in America and it has many attractions, from the Bourbon St. to the French Quarter (known locally as "the Quarter" or Vieux Carré), which dates from the French and Spanish eras and is bounded by the Mississippi River & Rampart Street and Canal Street & Esplanade Ave. There you can find all sorts of bars, hotels and entertainment in general. A whole life experience
