There's still a fairly strong community spirit in the South West of England that encourages being a bit more open I feel, though I can't put my finger on why exactly.<br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment - It's amazing to feel a part of such a massive online network, isn't it?JC Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084749545285580038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-70487251802480517442011-11-17T19:52:17.631+00:002011-11-17T19:52:17.631+00:00John

I note that you are based in Newton Abbot. I lived in Totnes for five years in the late 1980s and my experiences there provided a foundation for my desire to share ideas openly.<br /><br />Best wishes with your writing, connecting and studying from early morning Australia<br /><br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-77310571787717497492011-11-16T18:37:57.535+00:002011-11-16T18:37:57.535+00:00Ah, that's excellent!

It's all totally new, so it's seemingly a case of feeling my way around in the dark, but I'm getting there!<br /><br />Reading your post reminded me about Community of Practice, which is something I remember being taught about, but never really understanding fully at the time. Words that were lost to me for looking recently though!<br /><br />THIS is what I love about blogging! I give my (somewhat limited I feel at the moment) insight or opinion and then others chip in to help fill the gaps. Brilliant!JC Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084749545285580038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-28607942753798369812011-11-16T18:25:47.073+00:002011-11-16T18:25:47.073+00:00Hi JC,
I'm coming to your blog from the world...Hi JC,<br /><br />I'm coming to your blog from the world of English Language Teaching but, as you point out when mentioning secondary school blogs, the only difference is content!<br /><br />I alos have a vested interest as I am nearing the end of an MA course and I am currently preparing to undertake research into blogs as a tool for reflection and self-development. I particularly want to focus on the interactions that take place via the comments section. As you state in your post, comments can really help further our thinking and deepen our reflections.<br /><br />If you are interested, I wrote a post similar to this (in the title at least!) not so long ago: <a href="http://www.davedodgson.com/2011/05/metablognition.html" rel="nofollow">Metablognition</a>DaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-8831452077730013032011-11-16T18:11:28.958+00:002011-11-16T18:11:28.958+00:00Thanks for the comments!
I don't feel that in...Thanks for the comments!<br /><br />I don't feel that in the current stage of my career that there's not much that I've totally made my mind up about, so I've been running through what I know more than what I don't so far. Don't feel totally comfortable exploring an issue I don't know much about yet, but hopefully I'll pluck up the courage soon. I'm sure my blogging session on Friday will generate enough to blog about but leave enough to ask for input!JC Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084749545285580038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-62235535818991731212011-11-16T16:59:24.086+00:002011-11-16T16:59:24.086+00:00Another great posts!

It is interesting to read what your take on statistics is, and how you have analysed these and found motivation in them.<br /><br />I found at first I was getting few comments on my blog. This increased when I got the confidence to post more unfinished or questioning thoughts, not stating things as absolute, but being more open about my conclusions or posting less polished and finished ideas.<br /><br />I find if you state what you have totally made your mind up about, then people take it on board, but only really comment if they passionately agree or disagree with you. Writing thoughts which are inherently more in development makes people feel they have more of a say in continuing to develop them, rather than challenging or supporting you. It also has the added benefit that these comments can generally help further form your thinking as it develops as well.Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122606029939253678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6728705563135803753.post-71246322812723748692011-11-16T15:02:17.624+00:002011-11-16T15:02:17.624+00:00Interesting post, I totally relate!
