Blogs come in many shapes and sizes.
My first review of many blogs left the impression that folks need to get a life. Their personal dribble cast out in cyberspace either trolling for a comment or just expressing their audacity. "Dear diary, today I was so mad at my mother for not making me the lunch I asked for so nicely ... she ticks me off." Personal therapy perhaps, but what value does it add to the community? To be true it doesn't have to, but in my search for technology's best role to support learning the blog must serve another purpose.
Professional journals are common ways to reflect on practice whether a student as a learner or teacher as an instructor. I begin to see blogs serving the same process as a professional journal with the added value of novelty, and ease of use, and lower overhead to traditional PJ's. Next steps ... ?
