Blogging to Learn

I thought it was timely to re-visit some of my early work that has underpinned my current research directions. The Blogging to Learn article was published in the Knowledge Tree Journal - an online journal published by ANTA (Australian National Training Authority).
The basis of my research has been the model for developing reflective writing skills for my students through blogs - what occurred beyond reflective learning journals introduced the concept of knowledge artefacts intended for others to read and learn from ... !
As I review this position I have started to explore the possibility of socially connected learning and the creation of knowledge webs - beyond simply the classroom members and into a broader learning context.

Hi Anne,

Your article has provided me some food for thought. I have only started my own blog and found the hardest aspect of having a blog is the need for constant maintenance. I am trying to figure how best to utilise a blog within the area of library services.

I also think the journal options you outlined are particularly good, the usual approach by students would be to complete their journals prior to the final date for submission. The blog provides evidence of constant attention to the task and a commitment to learning.
