Recommended reading: a few blogs
by Karyn Romeis | Mon, 12/29/2008 - 05:58

It occurs to me that my growing list of book reviews don't give a true reflection of my own reading. In fact, I catch up with several blogs every day as a matter of course, engaging in the conversation by offering comments and responding to the comments of others. So, over the next while, I will provide pointers to some of the learning-related blogs that I read on a regular basis.

Stephen Downes blogs at OLDaily. His posts are short, punchy and numerous. I often refer to him as a living, breathing aggregator, since such a vast amount of material seems to cross his radar. He doesn't restrict himself to matters related to learning - although one could argue that in a lifelong, lifewide learning journey, everything is related to learning!

Jay Cross blogs at Informal Learning is the man accredited with the first use of the term 'e-learning'. As the name of his blog would indicate, he is also a dynamic proponent of informal learning. He has written a book on the subject, and is the man behind this poster.

Harold Jarche is another person whose Learning and Working on the Web blog I engage with on a regular basis. Like me, he is a freelance learning and development consultant. His range of experience is very different from my own, which results in new perspectives on familiar situations.
