Blogs in Action Research

Blogs are an effective tool to use as an interactive journal and reflective tool for action based inquiries.  Blogs become a reverse chronological online diary of a series of thoughts, data, results and findings, and ongoing concerns that can be addressed during an inquiry in an open forum.  Additionally, these findings can be shared with others to gain different points of view or findings in a collaborative sharing of information. The owner of the blog may gain other knowledge or ideas about their research, leading them to additional ideas they may not have considered.
