Significance:
This is a significant quote (below) because it provides an in-depth description of sense-making, a rather vague process I wanted to unpack at some point for clarifying what tasks are required for sensemaking while blogging. It is significant to come up with a concise definition of sensemaking to separate it from other blogging activities, such as berry-picking. All these processes are part of knowledge construction, and sense-making is not the 'goal in itself' for blogging, but one goal of several.
Tacit sensemaking can be described as...
... tacit mindfulness, an awareness of here-and-now (in the moment); retrospective sensemaking and codifying stories into coherence narratives; making sense of fragmentation, such as in terse narratives, and codifying fragments into proper narrative wholes; enactment sensemaking in ways of framing, such as unconscious logics, metaphors, or archetypes that precede retrospection; multiple discursive dialogisms..."
