NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: Welcome, Monica!

mveado [Monica]: Hi, NIna, thanks!

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Which Dennis? From my point of view, yes—but they have to be set up and facilitated carefully and thoughtfully. I don't think they work very if left to develop "organically" in most cases.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: (the above re Karen's question)

kgarcia [Karen]: ahh, they must be managed, I see...

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: oops: I don't think they work very well.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes. You're clear, Nelba.

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: not too clear for me, but definitely understandable

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Understandable is all that matters, finally, no?

sdarus2002 [Saadiyah]: Not too clear for me I'm afraid. I think the mic is too near.

Moderator (vances [undisclosed] 1): can you pull back from your mic a little?

Moderator (Sasa [undisclosed]): it's ok nelba

kgarcia [Karen]: good question.... what is the ultimate value of understanding?

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: You're a little bit loud and there's sometimes quite a bit of background noise.

Moderator (vances [undisclosed] 1): but it's ok

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: But it'sOK.

Moderator (Sasa [undisclosed]): better

kgarcia [Karen]: wonderful voice

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: The ultimate value of understanding? — I guess it depends on what happens next!

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: That is, on what the results of understanding are.

kgarcia [Karen]: to happen

kgarcia [Karen]: to know

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: Thank you, Nelba!

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Thank you, Nelba! Very interesting presentation and also a very good example of how to use PowerPoint slides as summaries (with information expanded in your talk)!

Moderator (nelbaq [undisclosed]): hope you liked it

mveado [Monica]: thanks Nelba!!!

Moderator (nelbaq [undisclosed]): thank you! I was a bit nervous

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: Nelba, did all 5 participants stick with the project?

AnaliaDobboletta [undisclosed]: Congrats. to Rita and her students! Great job ...lots and lots of intresting ideas and work behind it all! Clap, clap!!!

MaryHillis [Mary]: thanks, rita! you and your students did many things in a short time!

ChrisJ [Chris]: For the first time, I understand why you would tag a blog. Thanks so much.

MaryHillis [Mary]: yes, thank you

kgarcia [Karen]: spamm is not a problem in my experience....

Moderator (RitaZ [Rita]): yes

mveado [Monica]: yes, Sasa.

ChrisJ [Chris]: yes

Moderator (vances [undisclosed] 1): a little farther from the mic?

kgarcia [Karen]: although I got a nasty virus from a feed in blogline... which was weird!

Moderator (nelbaq [undisclosed]): yes, please

Moderator (vances [undisclosed] 1): me neither

AidenYeh [undisclosed] 2: FYI, I'm now updating my technorati, bloglines, and delicious (it's been dormant lately)

AidenYeh [undisclosed] 2: nice photos

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Very nice slides, Saša.

Moderator (nelbaq [undisclosed]): yes, original design

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: This slide is particularly nice!

Moderator (RitaZ [Rita]): thanks, Analia..., have just realized you are here

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: I like the collage!

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: Was the project voluntary for all 4 groups?

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: The last point is very important: "Checking out other people's blogs and commenting on their work is fun but also takes time and effort."

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I think many students don't realize that time and effort and patience are important.

kgarcia [Karen]: I am interested in the ethnography of tags....

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: They want instant, personally meaningful responses.

kgarcia [Karen]: what do we know about people based on those clouds

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Very telling question, Karen!

kgarcia [Karen]: telling?

mveado [Monica]: I agree, Dennis, that's why projects like these are so important, in my opinion. Students realize that it can be done, and that maybe those are important skills to develop...

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Actually, I meant very thought-provoking question. What, indeed, do we know / can we tell from the configuration of clouds?

NinaLiakos [undisclosed]: Amazing time management--kudos to all of you

Moira [Moira]: great - thank you Sasa

Moderator (nelbaq [undisclosed]): well done, Sasa!
