      This is so great!  I think so often teachers think we always have to start at the beginning but how do we really know where every person's "beginning" is?  Just another reminder that everyone (including adults) learn at a different pace.
  • So, maybe instead of encouraging (pushing) others to contribute blogs and tweets and ideas, maybe we begin by having a conversation about the value of lurking. Show there is value in what we have here and in other social networks by encouraging others to get connected and take from the network. That just might lead to the growth of our networks.

      Reading Twitter posts isn't like reading a book.  You don't start at the top and read everything that was ever posted, you need to just set aside a few minutes and 'dip' in and read what is going on and then exit.  Do not get bogged down in making sure you read everything from everyone or you will immediately become overwhelmed and not want to come back!
