All in the Definition
Posted by Kate in E-Learning Experiences, Weblog Beginings
It seems that the characteristics of a weblog have changed as the phenomenon evolved. Rebecca Blood explains that “The original weblogs were link-driven sites [where] their editors present links both to little-known corners of the web and to current news articles they feel are worthy of note.” More so now, weblogs provide commentary on almost every topic, they are individual and reflective like a journal which is updated frequently. They provide insight into the author’s views and ideas and to “some extent reflects this individual’s personality”(Paquet).

For this subject I think we will be using a combination of both notebook and journal style blogging. The content of our weblogs is guided and thus has an inherent focus which is similar to that of notebooks which publish longer articles and essays. Our subject also requires a reflective element particularly in relation to our own learning which is common amongst traditional journal style blogs.
