Tumblelog

For a concrete example, imagine you've created a Tumblelog, which is like a weblog but with many small posts of different types.

Tumblr, launched in March, allows users to publish digital files or brief blog posts to a single online location, dubbed a tumblelog.

Twitter and tumblelogs work equally well in this case. However, blogging and longer forms of writing are still important for communicating complex or longer ideas.

Sue Weston details her current artwork. “It’s called 'Magpie.’ I stand in Daley Plaza, jotting down the things people say into their cells. Then I post it on a tumblelog. Amazing, what people will tell a street full of strangers.”

At the same time as maintaining activity on my tumblelog, I was communicating with other bloggers outside the group, collaborating with other teachers at my own institution, reflecting alone and reading both online and on paper.
