The functionality of a blog can easily change the way that learners of today absorb information. Blogs are able to cater many different types of information in one simple way. A blog does not only have to have text, it can have audio clips, images and videos, demonstrations, graphs etc. A single blog is able to hold any and all of the above on one single entry, however this can be very confusing.
The blog also allows for the educator to accomodate many different learning styles. The visual learners are able to read and absorb information from the blog. The auditory learners are able to learn from all of the audio clips. The kinaesthetic learners have the option of watching demonstrations and trying to do these themself.
The blog is a perfect multimodal platform for today's educators, as it allows them to add all different types of information into one medium, and also keep students interesting by incorporating the use of ICTs.
