Blogging in a Walled Garden
Experiencing eLearning
FEBRUARY 1, 2009
One of the features of Sakai that our team was looking for in a new LMS is a blogging tool. I admit some significant improvements in usability are possible in this tool. However, it does give us the option of blogging within the system. So how do you use a blog effectively when it’s housed within a walled garden?

Learning with e's
SEPTEMBER 2, 2011
In a recent blog post, I gave seven reasons why teachers should blog. It was subsequently expanded to 10 good reasons by the contributions from readers - which is actually an eleventh reason why teachers should blog - you get back such great comments, suggestions, arguments and advice, it would be crazy not to share your content.

This week is about blogging. I just think its time to take a look at blogging again since I, and others from what I hear, seem to be neglecting blogs, feed readers, etc, in favor of microblogging. I'm actually writing this blog post from Amplify.com which is an interesting hybrid tool. But that's not blogging.

While implicitly it could support tracking a group’s progress, separate thoughts as recorded through blogs and tweets aren’t a natural feature. Yes, there’s integration with wikis and blogging tools, but it’s not quite the same. What if we could make it lower overhead for higher impact?

At least until I find a better tool (haven’t really got my mind around Scrivener’s organization, though I’ve tried). WordPress is my blogging tool (what I’m using here), and serves both as a thinking tool (if I write it out, it forces me to process it), but it’s also a share tool (obviously).

WordPress: my blogging tool, that provides regular reflection opportunities for me in generating them, and from the feedback others provide via comments. Facebook: there’s another group that I use like the Skype channel, and of course just what comes in from friends postings is a great source of lateral input.

WordPress is my blogging tool (where you’re at right now), and it’s a way I think ‘out loud’ and the feedback I get is a wonderful way to learn. LinkedIn is a way to stay in touch with people, and in particular the L&D Revolution group is where I want to keep the dialog alive about the opportunity.

For me it is a blog community and following many experts on Twitter. Not only am I often made aware of new tools, but also get opinions, tips, and examples of their use. You can never keep up with it all, but access to many experts who are also finding and sharing the lastest tech tools make it much less daunting.

Brandon Hall Network - Nicely Done?
Tony Karrer
OCTOBER 25, 2006
Part of my reservation is that it is yet another social networking tool and a blogging tool. It will take you a while to understand what you are doing and where you go to do what. Part of the issue is that there's not much content today so it feels a bit hollow. Do I need to use it in addition to Linked In and Blogger?

versus my question: if people will adopt these tools and approaches over time, then as a corporation, if you want to be able to keep the content after an employee leaves, especially blog content. Maybe that simply means making copies of personal blogs that are archived by the corporation in case the employee leaves.

Blogger: I didn't choose my blogging tool, I just took the easy option and used the one that Google provided. Moodle is much better than Blackboard, which is amazing considering the time and money the latter have had to come up with something better. I use it any chance I get because it's so easy to use and always works.
