Great blogs but...
I've done a quick check on everybody's blogs and am quite pleased to see COMPLETED WORK from San Chye, Richard, Kwai Yin, Joseph, Sherwin, Marvin and Shoo Soon. Do have a read around.
My own observation is that using blogs has allowed for self-expression (see Marv's and Richard's:)) but they don't really allow for discussions where there can be a robust exchange of ideas. Altho' blogs do have a Comment facility, this is limited to 'hi & bye' kind of comments, not deep discussions. So the learning point is that blogs are great for writing for self whereas online discussion forums are more 'social constructivist-ic', hence, suited for writing for group and coming up with new knowledge/wisdom.
