Greg @ ten reasons responds to my response to his thoughts about the use of weblogs in education (or something like that, hyperlinks agogo)
Again, thanks for the check, shouldn't go throwing hyped terms like KM about (especially when I agree wholeheartedly that it's unpossible). It does help me 'manage' (or 'organize' 'add semblance of reasoning' 'engage' etc.) my mind though and if used in order to 'share' knowledge (through personal publishing) is a pretty obvious tool. A Knowledge Sharing tool?
(and just because it might not be called that doesn't mean it isn't it. I used the TV guide to whack a huge Aussie spider the other day, 'twasn't meant for that originally but did the job just fine... :o)
So, I guess the question is what are / could weblogs (and associated tools, RSS etc.) be good for in education? And where are they just discrediting themselves by trying to be something that they're not?
Perhaps we could start with VLEs... I wonder what I could do with a copy of Manila, a few open source tools & someone who knew what they were doing with the code that Blackboard couldn't ;o)
