Tom:
thanks for the thorough review of your activities, thoughts and feelings. There is some significant ground for learning for each and all of us. I hope your colleagues take the time to read this. I especially like the way you took your SL experience and translated it to the way your students may feel or think in particular and difficult situations, a very nice connection!
Scot
I did not explore further after watching the dove film. What point is Dove making? "buy our products and you too can llok like this"? Or, "real women are beautiful before the treatment", or perhaps, "with enough time and money we can buy anything we want"?
I must admit that I have been in this game so long that I no longer long for the har copies of student papers although I must admit I often print out dissertation proposals and mark them up by hand.
Tradeoffs abound. I am confident that I would not have had the opportunity to work with most of the people in this course if we had not chosen to do this course online. ON the other hand, what fun and satisfaction would be found sitting around the seminar table on a cool fall Saturday morning with our coffee and scones, discussing the text and drawing our ideas up on the whiteboard.

I see your responses to others as comments on your comments. However, I do not see your highlights or notes. It could be that you are not sharing with the 675folk group, I believe you can change the setting as you highlight or go back and do it. regarding getting to the article, you should be able to click on a the group bookmark to get there.

Read this article, highlight those thoughts that make sense you to. Add sticky notes that allow you to post your comments, or respond to someone else's comment. Make sure that your highlight, sticky note and bookmarks are all shared with the 675folk group.
Dave: I saw replies that you made to other people's comments. Did you install the toolbar? what browser are you using? do you have a laptop or desktop? could we meet on saturday or monday for me to check your machine and watch you attempt to perform the functions? scot djohnsto wrote: > I have read the article, I have watched the tutorials but am missing something because when I open the link to the article I cannot highlight or sticky note it. I would love to interact with the document... I can interact with class comments and will proceed that way, but I would love to figure out how to use the rest of the tools. This is where a frustrated face would be relevant. > > Dave
we need to give you a reason to keep using this, then, Dave. djohnsto wrote: > Scot, I do appreciate your clear instructions: I am not sure if I will remember how to do this in a couple of months. But I am here right now.... > > Dave
Nicole, Jeanette and others: make sure you save a highlight and sticky note to the 675folk group so that all of us in the group can see your highlights and notes. You do have the choice of saving them privately or with the group, or you can create your own groups and invite others and then save to that group. All highlights, bookmarks and sticky notes that are saved to a group can be viewed by all other group members and searched, as well. Scot

Sue: thanks for joining in. diigo has a very impressive search function as well, which will allow us to track keywords that colleagues may have attached to this document as time goes by.
I wonder how much harder it was for people in past generations to go through the decision making process of leaving home to move to another area, realizing that they may never see loved ones again. In some regard then, modern information technology makes is easier to move away, because we can justify the move with, "oh well, we can stay connected via email and skpe, etc." Just a thought.
