3 Forms of Blog Communities
August 10, 2006 by Brent
This area of learning and practice has become the focal point in my work lately. Nancy White’s Blog – Full Circle Online Interaction Blog has wonderful resources and links to the world of online blog communities. She writes 5 separate posts (still trying to find all the links in one spot) on the different types of online blog communities. These distinctions will help me immensly as I learn how to develop different types of commuities of practice for my work.
As importantly, understanding the different types of blog communities is helping me see the evolution of my personal blog and where it fits into these classifications. It’s no surprise that there are overlaps, however knowing some of these distinctions helps me see what I’m doing and better yet where I want to focus in my own online learning.
There is a terrific podcast of her talking about different blog communities on the Edtech Talk site. A very interesting and helpful overview of her thinking on this subject.
