Blogging is synonymous with writing. When i am blogging I am writing and any piece of writing, picture or illustration is called a post that appear on my blog. For example, i am now blogging on Blogging for Teaching & Learning. The purpose of this post is to share ideas on how one may use a a blog and other web 2 applications for teaching and learning. It may not be perfect but it is a start for the beginner.
If a lecturer's field of expertise is in Electrical Engineering, he/she may wish to create a blog on this subject purposely to communicate teaching and learning activities with students and other concerned colleagues.
Lecture Notes
If the lecturer intends to distribute his/her notes to students before or after presentation he/she may post the notes on her blog. Students will access the notes from the blog and my cut and paste to their laptops or other devices such as mobile phones.

Acknowledgement
By way of acknowledgement i am inspired by Knovel blog that shares information on engineering. It is a very good platform for communication between professional engineers, academics in engineering and students. I follow this blog and its posts appear in tolailanguagechange.blogspot.com. It helps me keep abreast with information in the field of engineering since i work in a university that has a curriculum centered in engineering, science and technology. From time to time i refer students to Knovel blog.
