What is a blog and how can it be used in education?
A blog is a type of website that is typically arranged in chronological order from the most recent post at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. Blogs are an effective method for communicating with parents, students, administrators, teachers and members of the community.
CCSD provides blogs at our Campus Account, CobbLearning.net, powered by Edublogs. CCSD employees may have a CobbLearning blog at no charge.
