This paper aims to provide a starting point for developing a practical edublogging typology by exploring the complex topic of edublogging with the aid of a number of descriptive metaphors. This paper begins with definitions of the key terms of edublogging and edublogs. Next, there is an explanation of the importance of metaphors, and a rationale is given for why metaphors are used to describe edublogging learning spaces. Next, there is a brief review of key goals for edublogging to provide support for why it is so crucial to identify characteristics, behaviours and expectations of student bloggers, followed by an explanation of the three assumptions made while formulating the typology. The next section describes edublogger archetypes: Scribe, Recorder, Mentor, Performer, Mentor, Elder, and Town Crier. The paper then explores the various edublogging types, the roles of both learners and educators, and the content and activities that roughly characterize each type. The final section provides a chart outlining the edublogging typology and explores the following edublogging spaces: private, autonomous, embedded, anonymous, networked, and public.
