Blogs Tag SmallThe Blogs at Penn State is a project exploring the use of blogs (Weblogs) in higher education. Once you have established your blog, you are free to use it as you see fit. Blogs are published in your personal Web space, so they belong to you. To learn more about the Blogs at Penn State or to get started go to the Blogs at Penn State Community Hub and explore.

The Blogs at Penn State are powered by Six Apart’s enterprise blogging platform, MovableType 4. This open source software has been adapted to work within the Penn State environment. We are constantly working to envision new uses for the blog platform — as a matter of fact we see the blog platform as a personal content management system. This perspective allows us to think about blogs as the basis for all sorts of opportunities — from faculty web sites to student eportfolios.
