I really enjoyed reading this article because Stephen Downes really broke the topic down on Blogging and how he organized his information in a straight-forward easy to understand format.
In this post, I will just discuss on how I feel about this article in general terms and then I will post additional posts to discuss certain parts in a more granular detail.
Initially in the article, Stephan discussed about what blog is. This part I was not too excited about because it was a lot of information that I have learned/used so I thought it was going to be one of those boring articles about education. But about mid-way through it, Stephan really ties it down with issues that deals with blog, education, liability, interest and etc. When he brought that to the discussion, it was a lot more interesting! I breezed through it now knowing I arrived at the end of the article.
The part that most interested me was how moral or effective it is when we bring blogging to the education field. Stephan brought up many points from both sides and I really appreciate that he did that because it made his article neutral and informative in a way that he is not taking sides. In addition, he posted a question at the end! I thought that was a brilliant move! In a way, he wrote this article not because he wanted to take sides, he wanted us to generate opinions and discussions about this. All in all, great article and I could tell he probably sifted through a lot of information for this piece.
