I can’t believe I missed it, and from my feedreader, it appears that everyone else did too!
It was ten years ago – yesterday – that Jorn Barger coined the term “weblog“, which quickly was shortened to “blog“.
While “blogging” was arguably taking place several years prior in some for or another, it was the emergence of time-based entries that defined the practice. Today “blog” is both a noun and a verb (much like google).
From humble beginnings, blogging rapidly gained popularity through the early part of this decade, particularly with the growth of free and accessible web-based hosting tools. It is now a part of the conversation of daily life here in North America and around the world, reaching into politics, commerce and, of course, education!
Happy Birthday to all you edubloggers out there!
