One of the most exciting bits for me is your point 5. Imagine a well structured Blog that was a professional portfolio. What a good way to author a workplace learning focussed dissertation at Undergraduate or Masters level? Categories for literature, observations, other data, etc. All stitched together at the end into a coherent piece of work that had the possibility of an ongoing validation with peers and colleagues introducing multiple voices and perspectives!

I have a post on the starting Blocks, that is nearly ficished but unpublished in MT. In general terms though I became so busy that I couldn't get through them as I had hoped. Work in progress though!

It gets quite interesting when someone completely unknown makes a comment.... there's a bit of intrigue that creeps in and that begins a chain reaction.... of visiting their blog (if they leave a link) or Googling them. For me, a blog offers me these things 1. a chance to reflect on what I've done or been thinking about 2. share the my work or sound out my ideas (if they are a bit too wacky, people usually say so!) 3. establish short-term dialogues with others, sometimes like-minded people 4. build relationships 5. create a portfolio about me including what I do, what interests me I'm sure there are others.

For me, a blog offers me these things

1. a chance to reflect on what I’ve done or been thinking about
2. share the my work or sound out my ideas (if they are a bit too wacky, people usually say so!)
3. establish short-term dialogues with others, sometimes like-minded people
4. build relationships
5. create a portfolio about me including what I do, what interests me

I’m sure there are others.
