Why a Social Network?
With the advancement of technology, it is easy to stay connected with the things that are important to us. A social network gives us the opportunity to easily create, contribute, and learn within a community; these are a few reasons why the Hostos Social Network was created. We want to learn about the Hostos Community, and we invite you to join the Hostos Social Network.
Why Blogs?
A blog (short for weblog) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order.
A Blog is an excellent means of communication within a community, providing commentary or news on particular subjects; and readers have the ability to leave interactive comments. A blog can contain text, images, videos, audio (MP3 and podcasts), and to other media related to its topic, such as blogs and websites.
