You will see, at the bottom of the page, techniques for formatting your messages. |

Don't get me started on this. It is an enormous travesty that the telcos have committed on us. We are supposed to have real broadband Internet every in the U.S. right now. The Telcos agreed to provide it in return for tax breaks. But they didn't do it, and the federal government didn't hold them to it. On top of that, they prevent local municipality from setting up their own. In my state, the newly elected legislature, at the urging of AT&T and Time Warner, passed a law that says that towns can not run their on information utility.
Sorry! I told you not to get me started. - dfw
Added lines 246-247:
You are right. But I would rephrase just a bit. I think that we need to have conversations about tech courtesy, and our students need to be a part of that conversation. - dfw

''In my state, I think they're perfectly happy with continuing to prepare children for the 1950s :-/' - dfw

Yes! Another travesty. But someone in one of the breakouts commented about "good" students who were good a playing the schooling game, resisted the technology. They don't want to think creatively. - dfw

Billy Pilgrim saw into the future, didn't he? Are we talking about the same Billy Pilgrim? - dfw

Thanks! There are a lot of ways to do that and I use to be able to tell you why I prefer Intuem. I've also found a good too for iPad that does the same thing. It's called MusicStudio. - dfw

You're all utilizing the same web site, and all of your messages are being recorded on the same database. You are accessing via wireless... - dfw

I think it's important to understand that students will try to abuse this as first. It's what they do. So you'll have to work help learners understand that this is an education context. Making the transcript public (to parents) would help. - dfw

There are a number of classes that are doing projects in OpenSim, an environment that is similar to Second Life (18yr & older), and as long as the students are building something that will be used, then the work becomes the distractions. - dfw

Of course, multitasking is impossible. What they do is shift-task, and they're good at that. But engaging in backchanneling (which is what this is called) will decrease the amount of attention that they are paying what's happening in the open. The question is will the value added by backchanneling out weight the lose of attention? - dfw
Added lines 169-170:
It's important to consider that this is not something you'd do every day. It's just when backchanneling adds value to the learning experience. - dfw
