mis experiencias con blogs

Hi dear friends and colleagues

as part of my applied linguistic distance course I have been asked to create a blog. Taking advantage of the one I created 2 years ago. I am going to update this one and the one from mentoring.
I stop using them because in the university I work blooger is considered a social site so it is blocked. So I lost interest in using them with teachers and students in the school.

But I would like to start learning more about blogs becasue at that time I created as a space for me to upload my questionnaire to get data for my dissertation. and the other blog to post comments of the different activites of the mentoring program i was running and the blog was a space for mentees to share ideas as the web-log= blog .

so let's turn into an adventure!
welcome!
