Abstract

Blogs have an important presence on the Internet and they are known by users. Teachers know about this tool, but they barely appreciate it as an educational tool. A minority of teachers have used the web design, which can enable the use of Web quest, however, the process of designing a website is complicated, because we should upload files to servers, there are problems with links, frames, buttons and we a need to know how to use html code in some cases. Moreover, Blogs take full advantage of a website and it is really easy to design it, once we have an account, we can easily add image and text without any problem. We recognize various pedagogical possibilities concerning use of Blogs through file management, use of video, images and all kind of benefits relating interaction and communication. We therefore developed an analysis of their use by teachers, taking into account teacher‘s attitudes about technologies, and ICT tools, comparing all these with the implementation of Blogs.

These technologies challenge the conventional conception of pedagogical practices, social space, social practices, and schedules. Web 2.0 as a term refers to the second generation of web technologies that is characterized by user communities and a wide range of services, including social networks, blogs, wikis, groove, RSS, and podcasts. Such applications encourage collaboration and efficient exchange of information among users.The most commonly used Web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning environments in education are blogs, wikis and social networking tools. Now a day multi-mode technology toolsuses in teaching learning process as shown below.

Blogs: The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999. Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms
