Blogging and learning

Enjoy this

Blogging offers the bloggers the following

- recording half baked ideas

- musing

- connecting with people

- networking, getting to know what matters to people

- gripping with ideas, thoughts and insights

So, personal blogging is very informal, it works as it is written at a personal level.

Knowledge is fundamentally personal when it comes to blogging.

What do I think? 

That captures the spirit of personal blogging, of personal sensemaking. 

As blogging is personal, how would that make a difference to the community?  How would a blogger collaborate with others?  Group blogging (edublogs etc.)?  Community blogging?  That’s the communal sensemaking…

What’s next? How about way finding?  What are the ways to connect the bloggers and community bloggers to other communities, institutions, the “global and digital society”?  “Googling”, Delicious, social tagging, social networking such as Facebook and Twitters (as microblogging), Ning and Wikis (wikipedia and wikis) all form nodes and are part of the conduits, connections, and networks towards meta-learning, that way finding journey towards global learning.  That is the Personal Learning Networks (PLN) and Personal Learning Environment (PLE) that we all are creating, building, and contributing.

This gives rise to the ontological approach towards knowledge creation and personal learning.  That’s the innovation towards knowledge  creation, building, and aggregation through connecting, interacting, communicating, understanding, amongst people.  That’s the transformational learning we all aspire to.   That leads us to be connected to the Wisdom of the Crowd.  Would that be our ideal learning journey for life?
