Seblogging: Paper Draft for BlogTalk 2003
Sebastian Fiedler has written an interesting paper on the pros and cons of personal Webpublishing tools as reflective conversational tools for self-organized learning.
I need to read it again before I make any further comments, but Sebastian does raise questions and discuss issues that I have been thinking about for some time.
I do believe that a personal weblog qualifies as a reflective space. Any time that a person writes about the events of the recent past, has to qualify as such.
If the Roman Emperor and stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius had been able to use our current technology, he quite likely would have been an ardent blogger and his ‘Meditations’ would have been speculated, discussed and disseminated on a daily basis. I wonder if that would have cuased them to be any more or less relevant today?
