Knowing is not seperate from doing but emerges from the very matter-ings in which we engage” (Edwards, 2010) 

 I love the quotation above from Edwards (2010). For me, it expresses how I feel about my Tumblog. I have been mulling over the Tumblog [matter and meaning] for weeks now.  All that time feeling frustrated by not ‘knowing’ for sure what the Tumblog ‘is’ / ‘isn’t’.

What comfort found  in reading of fallibility, conditionality and emancipatory ignorance!

Through the  connected blog terrain we do more than simply represent or observe…we experiment, and so become part of the learning process as the learning process becomes part of us…human-machine intertwining.
