  • when I think about MOOCs I think there's a connection between them and really good conferences, where people expect them to come around every year, and they get a tone and a feeling

      Idea! In some conferences there are break out rooms dedicated to different topics. How about using hangouts and Google docs to create those spaces for synchronous and asynchronous conversations?

      In many ways, this is the value of the open education movement -- the chance to interact without direct instruction from the "talking head" in the classroom. It's a dip into the unknown, though, and requires a certain social media/reading skills -- what to ignore and what to pay attention to, and how does it all connect to the learning and discovery

  • by focusing on my small groups of people (often not even using the hashtag to be honest; sometimes in DM or in private hangouts; other times in public on blogs) I am making my own path as I intersect with others’ paths.

      Yes, I can remember at every conference there is a canceled presentation where folks gather around and just chat about...stuff--ad hoc and improvisational. We need a simple discussion protocol that is quick in and quick out, save for asynchronous discussion.

      Did you see that post by... A wordpress site called emergentbydesign (Simon shared it, i think) where the author suggests a kind of mindful chat roulette based on interest?
