Anatomy of a blog post: Personal Learning Networks

Blogs have a common anatomy to them... for the most part. Here's an intro for some folks who may not be used to prowling blogs.

Name Header at the top, information about the author etc on the left or right columns, then a column of blog posts themselves.

As for the blog posts themselves:
Headline
Entry (the guts)
Comments (and usually followed by a number that represents how many people have left comments).

When you read a blog post give the comments people submit a look too. To see them, click on the 'Comments' word (usually followed by a number that represents the number of people have commented on this entry) at the bottom of the post. That's where a lot of great banter occurs on what people write. That's also where you click to leave your own comments.

Here's a long post by Will Richardson called Personal Learning Networks. It talks about branching out beyond the walls of the classroom, engaging in collaborative practices and how much it can add.

Well worth a read... comments too.
