Blogs as a tool for self-reflection in learning?  Hmmmm..... I'm going to tell the story of two separate blog posts. One I posted on the Landing and one on my work blog.  Both were simply my personal thoughts, musings and hypothesizing.  I posted both in the spirit of reflection rather than expecting anything from anyone.  And to my surprise, both resonated with a reasonably high number of people (and yes I consider 5 or 6 people to be reasonably high), but more importantly they both resulted in some (small but positive) action.

My ideas might make a difference? Now there's a crazy notion.  And the comments and actions of other encouraged me to have more confidence in my ideas, say more of them "out loud" and maybe take some steps towards affecting change myself.   

Ideas leading to action leading to more action and more ideas...  Wow, I have to say I am warming to these social tools.
