First, you click "new post" located on the home screen. Then a text box should pop up on your screen. After that happens, you can just write in the text box whatever you'd like to share with the world, or what you think the people should know. You click "save now" to have other people edit your post, or just "publish post" if you're ready for the world to read it.

A blog is useful in an educational setting because it can serve as a learning resource. Blogs can be used for one sole topic, or a bunch of different topics. It is useful for educational purposes for many reasons. For example, instead of sending out 16 emails you can post one blog and have people check it. Also it can be used to discuss what happens for a day in class or if teachers from different schools want to talk about what they are teaching and give people ideas. A blog is the best way to communicate with many people on one site about a specific idea.
