You've helped me relate to things I've found challenging about on-line teaching as opportunities for social creativity. In the class I'm teaching on everyday creativity, I love being able to re-read posts and get a sense of the group. And participants have been open about their lives in a way that helps the group delve into intellectually challenging material - now that you pointed that out I can see the many ways it's going on. Yet the possibility that some posts have been un-responded to "looms large" for me, as I go back and read them. As an online "newbie" It raises interesting questions for me about the group and the individual, time (since we can go 'back' and read) and seeing posts as 'part of the process by which the conversation has been created.' Hmmm...having this conversation on your blog seems to make these concerns loom less-large! Thank you, Lois.
