The third week of Web 2.0 for Learning Professionals Free Online Course (you can jump in at any time) is all about Blogs for Learning . Interestingly, when I prepared the notes for this week, I was able to leverage what the course members had produced during the previous week on Social Bookmarks : http://delicious.com/tag/wlning+blogs http://delicious.com/tag/wlning+blog http://delicious.
