I was commenting to a post that Carol wrote, and she asked me about some ideas to help with successful blogging during this demanding MDDE605 course.I was thinking that one thing to be successful is to organize your ideas using the blogging tool, and post drafts that frame your ideas bit by bit, so you have a number of ideas fanned out over time. Don't be afraid to repeat ideas and rehash them; this is your drafting board, so be sure to tack on notes to self for further explorations at a later point, and insert questions at various points as they occur to you. I often place references and links and embed them in the post so I can find them later, and it gives me some context as to what led me to that site...note down your click-path (the sites that led you to the specific resource). Provide yourself with enough context clues within the post so you don't have to try and recall the context later.Another thing I found really useful is to use the Tag Cloud search feature at the bottom right of the page below the search text box. Select 605 or a combination of tags with 605 in them, and it will take you to a comprehensive list of posts from former students.Here is the link for the posts that used the MDDE605 tag:http://me2u.athabascau.ca/elgg/tag/mdde+605
