Just came across this article: Gerstl-Pepin, C. and Patrizio , K. (2009) Learning from Dumbledore's Pensieve: metaphor as an aid in teaching reflexivity in qualitative research . Qualitative Research , 9 (3): 299-308 Perhaps a metaphor for blogging too? Conceptualizing reflective notes as a Pensieve has the potential to expand student understanding... Like a Pensieve, these notes can function as a repository for personal reflections, document changes in understanding, and invite the sharing of memories with others so that one has an opportunity to engage in a more in-depth discussion about experiences and interpretations.
