. . . looking forward to this discussion.
As usual, I will largely be a lurker (but an active participant in my mind).
cheers, Chris Horgan, SAIT Polytechnic, Calgary.
good morning - just as an aside I now refuse to use the term 'lurker' - for myself at least ... I am a wait-er - as in WAITing =
Watching, Analysing, Investigating, and Thinking – as in WAITing (ie ‘lurking’ but I really hate that term, so I made up my own!) :)
Kathleen -love WAITer. I also use Vygotsky's 'ventriloqising', i.e. following and practising the way other people have articulated issues and concepts as a way into conversations and discussions.
And in the footprints we first concentrated on all the interactive stuff, but then (Jenny) realised that there was a huge gap, and we needed to add 'solitude and contemplation' as a key factor in emergent learning - just as important as all the buzz and social network affordances.
