My blogging tool, is a major part of my learning process. Writing is a primary way for me to think through things, and that’s not changing. I could say email, but that’s not where I put my most cogent thoughts. Google Docs.

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?

Delicious – social bookmarking tool. Slideshare – presentation hosting and sharing tool. Skype – instant messaging and VoIP call tool. Wordpress – blogging tool. Some observations: The top 10 is like a who’s who of social and informal learning tools. Google Reader – RSS feed reader.

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.

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.

It is such a sophisticated tool, and it also now powers my Learning in the Social Workplace blog. 3 – I still use TypePad , which was my blogging tool of choice in 2007 – which I used for Jane’s E-Learning Pick of the Day blog, but it’s not on my 2011 list.

Evernote is a great tool for that purpose. There are many blogging tools available - the one you are currently reading is Blogger, but Wordpress and Posterous are just as simple to use. Want to keep an archive of all your note-taking? For sheer crazy visual inventiveness, try Blabberize - you'll laugh your socks off.

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?

The more teachers share their ideas and interact on public spaces such as blogs, the more that dialogue and emergent thinking can be preserved for future generations to learn from and enjoy. If you want to blog, tools to look out for include Blogger , Wordpress (includes Edublogs ), Typepad , Tumblr.

If your population has not adopted a tool yet, do you have a responsibility to the individual to show them tools that can live beyond their engagement at the company? Do you show them the internal blogging tool only?

I know many people think blogging is just a one-way street, and a pulpit from which to preach and pontificate about whatever topic one might be interested in. Consuming content is the biggest part of blogging. Surely one could use a blogging tool to simply push out content and many do. But that's not blogging.

Providing a blogging tool and helping employees to learn how to use this as part of their PWLE would seem like a great idea for many corporations. Just as my life is bigger than my job, so my learning is bigger than any formalised environment that exists, on or offline. This is the only part I really have issue with.

When to my mind that is actually the powerfulness of these tools – because they are not a separate tool you have to use, but one that is familiar to you – so that working and learning can merge. After settling on the right tools, they were categorized. Assessment, Testing, Polling, and Survey Tools. Blogging Tools.

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.
