The topic of evaluating blog entries has surfaced. If you are an educator and intend to involve your students in “blogging to learn”, the suggestions that have emerged in this strand are interesting.
However, I would probably not hold myself to these standards. Some expectations, for example, involve cross-checking multiple sources to create a well reasoned post. This is great expectation if one is blogging to learn or if one wants to position his/her blog as a source of perspective for others. What if one “blogs to remember” (a personal goal) or “blogs to stimulate” (a social goal)? Perhaps we need to tag our entries by purpose rather than by topic.
