Today the technology has avanced a lot and it has expand to many areas. One of this areas is the education. In this area it’s using technology like television, videos and the internet. This last resource it’s use a lot and of many forms in the classroom, but ¿How this type of technology is used in the classroom? ¿Of what form it influences the learning process? ¿What advantages and disadvantages it produces?

In this essay I want to talk about of one of this kind of technology used in the classroom, I refer to the use of blog. I will begin talking about the technology and the uses of the blogs. Later, I will show some advantages and disadvantages of use a blog in classroom. Finally, I will present some conclusions about the topic.

The globalization it give many tools to teachers and students for working in the classroom. The use of blogs is one of them. The blog is a virtual space on the internet when you can post information about anything also you cant add pictures and videos to complement the information. More over any people can post a comment in your blog.

The use of blogs has been encourage in some class because its use has some advantages like help to do the class more didactic, let to close subjects not too much fun to the students through of content more close to the reality of the students. Specifically in the english class the use of a blog help to develop the skill of write in english.

Some disadvantages of the use of the blog in the classroom can be that some students don’t work in the blogs and open other pages in the internet distorting the objective of the activity.

In brief, the use of blogs in classroom has more aspects positives than negatives. This use can motivate the work with subjects that dislikes some students. For that I think that to implement blogs in the english class is a fun work that help to understand and practice this language.

4_ Cristina's blog!_

I wanna coment the blog of my friend Cristina. First I need to say that the colour of the blog identify totally the personality of Cristina because she is very calm and relaxed and I think that the white and green it’s adapt with her characteristics. I like that!.

One of the strengths of the blog is the information of the post, because they interestme a lot. Cristina had talk about the Educational Psychology. This area is my favourite of the psychology and I like to know the opinion of Cristina about the area. This last term I has shared a lot with Cristina because both are interested in the Educational Psychology.

Other post that a like a lot was the post of the film “Tony Manero”. I like see a differents kind of movies, and I really want to see the film “Tony Manero”. The comment of Cristina about the film it’s has helped me to know a different point of view of the film because many people has told me that Tony Manero is a horrible film.

I think that one of the weaknesses of the blog is that Cristina don´t has finished her assignments and also don’t includes many pictures.

Study affirmed that the teenagers who have an insufficient breakfast have better results than they don’t have one


The study was realized by the Department of Nutrition, Bromatology and Toxicology of the University of Alcalá of Henares, Madrid, Spain.

Seven of ten teenagers eat an insufficient breakfast and the quality of this nourishment is directly related to the average note of the course.

The group classified the breakfasts in "completely" (it covers 25 per cent of the daily needs of energy and includes food of four groups: lacteal, cereals, fruits and oils), of "good quality " (it contains four groups but does not come to 25 per cent of the energetic contribution), of " improvable quality " (food of three groups), of "insufficient quality " (only of two), and of " bad quality " (it has not be for breakfast).

The information reveals that 3,65 per cent has not breakfast; another 3,65 per cent takes a breakfast of insufficient quality; 68,29 per cent takes one of improvable quality; 29,7 per cent, a breakfast of good quality, and only 4,88 per cent, a full breakfast. The work also reveals that the women have a worse breakfast than the men.

The information reflects that when more complete the breakfast is the notes are better.

The final conclusion is that it is necessary that all people eat a complete breakfast to get better result in your activities.
