I was intrigued by the use of CommentPress in the work of the Institute for Future of the Book. A brief search led me to a JISC post by Joss. From there it was one click to digress.it and the setting up of this blog.

I am looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this form of blogging and have been anticipating it since writing this about personal learning.

One major consequence of the shift to digital is the addition of graphical, audio, and video elements to the written word. More profound, however, is the book’s reinvention in a networked environment. Unlike the printed book, the networked book is not bound by time or space. It is an evolving entity within an ecology of readers, authors and texts. Unlike the printed book, the networked book is never finished: it is always a work in progress.

I am keen to explore the ecologies of personal learning. I note that whilst many use personal learning environments, some use personal learning landscapes. I discovered the word orographic recently and I might explore this further.
I am fascinated by the visual possibilities afforded by The Commons. I hope to use many images to support my posts. I understand that all the images I will use are copyright free.
I have used the default format for the page. I tried the ‘classic’ option but format changed!
I particularly like this sentence “It is an evolving entity within an ecology of readers, authors and texts.”
I found it hard (impossible!) to resist this picture. It flashed up as a Commons sampler and I found it later with the tag ‘goat’. The picture is from Queensland.
I found this a poignant picture. It is from the Flickr Commons and is from The Netherlands. These are Dutch passengers en route to Brazil in 1947 to start new lives.
I hope the hyperlinks are helpful.
