ICT adventure

A blog is a discussion or informational site published on the web and consisting of entries ("posts"). In my opinion, this is a very useful way to increase communication among people, because everybody can give opinions about a specific topic and share information. In this way, people can teach in anytime and anywhere, and students participate in an active way.
