How to use Penzu: Theory and Tutorial

Penzu

Penzu is a web 2.0 that allows the creation of a journal or diary online.
A journal is a record that can be used to detail everything from your feelings about a particular situation in your social life to your thoughts on a current event in the political world. You can create a daily journal, an expressive one or a travel one, among others.
Penzu is ideal for students to have electronic portfolios. An e-portfolio is a digital collection of a person's pieces of writing. It can be easily edited and shared with the world or just with the teacher or classmates.
With Penzu, you can even attach pictures right next to your writings.
