Metablogition

One of my favorite books on teaching reading is Mosaic of Thought by Susan Zimmerman and Ellin Oliver-Keene. It is the book that introduced me to the term metacognition, which in a nutshell refers to the notion of thinking about thinking and how that impacts learning.

I've been doing quite a bit of thinking about blogs, the blogosphere, what kinds of things people are doing out there, and why they do it. You could say that I am beginning to develop a sense of

metablognitive awareness.


How cognizant are you of why you blog and the community of which you are a part?
