Just started pomodoro 'Transcription Checking (#3)' #phdchat #
@dffeldon Ahh. Do you find value in these virtual worlds outside of a research interest? in reply to dffeldon #
@klbz @savasavasava Great; let's meet in front of Becco 355 W 46th St (between 8th Ave & 9th Ave) on Thursday at 5:00pm #phdchat #
@savasavasava @klbz Yes, 48 hours from now minus 4 hours. in reply to savasavasava #
@AndreaZellner I like the freedom of distance and asynchrnous learning, and think some real-time connection can help a sense of community in reply to AndreaZellner #
@savasavasava @klbz How near will your appointment be? in reply to savasavasava #
@dffeldon I am thinking of things such as Second Life vs. Twitter or FB or even Gravatar. in reply to dffeldon #
@klbz @savasavasava Let's see if savasavasava can makemakemake it #phdchat #NYC #meetup in reply to klbz #
@klbz Depends; voting does not seem a privilege when 1 person does not equal 1 vote given a party system with the electoral college #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@SarahStewart Agreed, though ave not seen interest maintained as I have in #change11 if anything, those involved seem more active now. in reply to SarahStewart #
@oldehughr @Eingang I struggle with math or maths. Alas, I am so qualitative I don't even fancy counting the number of interviews I do. in reply to oldehughr #
@davecormier @courosa I would never doubt your competence, especially not tonight. in reply to davecormier #
@TheDruidNetwork Excellent. Now that I actually joined, I hope to see more Twitter presence (as this little land is where I connect)! in reply to TheDruidNetwork #
@dffeldon Quite interesting. Do you find virtual worlds or virtual communities more your area at this point? in reply to dffeldon #
@klbz @savasavasava Great. How about Becco at 5:00 Thursday? #phdchat #NYC #meetup in reply to klbz #
@jankenb2 Interesting read. I can consider this as a model of thinking or as an "old boys club." I believe it to be the former #change11 in reply to jankenb2 #
@dffeldon What brought you to this area of research I wonder as I cannot fathom how people engage in social media without a real pic or name in reply to dffeldon #
@dffeldon Have you pursued this in other venues or age-groups, or even internationally or with issues around gender or race/class, etc? in reply to dffeldon #
@dffeldon Fascinating research. Do you think its findings are still current? in reply to dffeldon #
@trentmkays @savasavasava The evils of non-profit U's that are far more expensive than for-profit ones. I know some of these intimately. in reply to trentmkays #
@ben_spigel Perhaps that is its challenge then. Good to hear your thoughts about it. #phdchat in reply to ben_spigel #
@trentmkays You seemed to avoid the majority of colleges and universities which are non-profit (in the US, that is) #4profit in reply to trentmkays #
@trentmkays Interesting that you compared #4profit with public institutions, which are doing anything they can now to raise revenue. in reply to trentmkays #
@trentmkays Why do you think a strong reaction = an impact? Seems an impact is valuable if it leads to action (beyond vitriol). in reply to trentmkays #
@ben_spigel That was part of the challenge, trying to figure out how to navigate and adapt a workflow to it #phdchat in reply to ben_spigel #
@ben_spigel @sarahthesheepu I tried DevonThink and was absolutely overwhelmed. Too bad they seem to have a limited Twitter presence #phdchat in reply to ben_spigel #
@ben_spigel @sarahthesheepu Interesting to hear how you use it. I recall some folks talking about DevonThink on #phdchat a while back. in reply to ben_spigel #
@klbz I think today's election is one of the best kept secrets since Osama's hiding place #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@ChrisSPlant Congratulations! #phdchat #slpeeps in reply to ChrisSPlant #
@davecormier @kwhamon Excellent post, Dave. BTW, I noticed the tag was wrong, so voila! #change11 in reply to davecormier #
@davecormier This was an excellent post; thanks for pointing it out #chagne11 in reply to davecormier #
@savasavasava Goodness, you get sad when you are unfollowed? in reply to savasavasava #
Keep hearing @davecormier talk about A Thousand Plateaus rhizomatic learning foundation, so ordered it http://t.co/SYsiMJZb #change11 #
@savasavasava Scary. in reply to savasavasava #
@salma_patel Feel better. There was a big flu shot campaign at work, and I will do anything to avoid it. Feel better. #flu in reply to salma_patel #
@savasavasava Nothing like focusing on one's studies. I wonder how these students would compare to the evils @trentmkays describes? in reply to savasavasava #
@trentmkays Interesting piece. Some sharp criticism in response. Was that your intention? #4profit #HigherEd #students #loans in reply to trentmkays #
Tonight I will iron, do some transcription, and catch up on some comments from the #change11 gang. #
@davecormier Yes, I can imagine. Probably the same reason nobody ever mentioned loading a pic into Gravatar so it appears next to your name! in reply to davecormier #
Wondering how the #change11 synchronous sessions maintain and increase momentum this far into the MOOC? Important research able question #
@davecormier Excellent #change11 session today. Wonder if it was the facilitation, topic, participants, or a combo? #
Just finished pomodoro 'Transcription Checking (#2)' #phdchat #
Just started pomodoro 'Transcription Checking (#2)' #phdchat #
Time for a final transcription check of the evening. #
@briancody @scholasticahq I have been trying to get myself to use it, but I just can't get past the idea of writing for the sake of ratings. in reply to briancody #
@michaelwillits Alas . . . in reply to michaelwillits #
@BrindlePatrick Perhaps it is a myth, or better yet a marketing experiment? in reply to BrindlePatrick #
@briancody USB thumbs are the "new thing"? Goodness, let's hope not. in reply to briancody #
@michaelwillits That never stopped others – NetFlix, Border's, MySpace, Alta Vista, Mebo, Google Wave . . . in reply to michaelwillits #
@michaelwillits Perhaps trying a new advertizing model? Goodness, if it works, it just may spread. #
@klbz By choice? Her choice, that is? in reply to klbz #
@hollykruse Goodness. Damage? in reply to hollykruse #
@michaelwillits Remember, Google is in one business, namely advertizing. If it can generate interest, it will sell space. in reply to michaelwillits #
@hollykruse Horrible thing to happen. Are you ok? in reply to hollykruse #
@cjohanns Lancaster University in the UK. As challenging as UK HE can be for a non-Brit, it is a breath of fresh air for me. in reply to cjohanns #
@NickStClair iPhone 4S and iPad. I went from Zero Apple only a short while ago, to being an Apple aficionado. Pourquoi? in reply to NickStClair #
@NancyWhite Excellent, Nancy. How can I grow up (or perhaps lose weight?) and be like you, while still being me? #change11 #socialartist in reply to NancyWhite #
@lmockford @davecormier I can use all the merry folks around me I can get; y'all can help support me against those other mean folk. in reply to lmockford #
