Introduction

             The blogging technology gives us chance to share our thoughts and ideas to the world without the hassle. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

             This E-Portfolio is another way of using the technology in education. It gives us the way to communicate with the class after class hours. It is an innovation of written assignments that can be checked right away. Everybody can make the blog for a great purpose. Let’s enjoy the comfort of the blogging technology now!

MELVIN CALIXTO

Everyone has talent and intelligence that is different from one another. Some excels in music, some in arts, and others. Melvin, in my own opinion, has Logical-mathematical intelligence. 

It is one of the nine intelligences that has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places less emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and more on reasoning capabilities, recognizing abstract patterns, scientific thinking and investigation and the ability to perform complex calculations. It correlates strongly with traditional concepts of "intelligence" or IQ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences). 

I should say he has Logical-mathematical intelligence because he was one among the few who understand his report, and he was able to impart it to his classmates. He explained the mathematical solution in a simple manner where everybody understood his topic.

I hope, even I ain't as brilliant as Melvin, I could also deliver my report in a manner that everyone will understand and gain the knowledge from. Good luck to me and to all the reporters!! :)
