BLOG

Blog, short of Weblog, is a space for the students to share their day to day thoughts and experiences in the language of their choice. In our blog, students have choice in posting text blogs and audio blogs, aka podcast. LRC chooses to use LifeType, which is an open-source blogging platform with support for multiple blogs and users in a single installation.
