Boil, Boil, Toil, and Trouble!

I have to admit, I love watching "process" at work. Today we worked at boiling our wonderings and ideas down to a more workable, sweet question. Although my work is not on the gallery walk, I boiled with Nancy during our afternoon session. Exhaustion left me searching for all the right words, but as is most often the case talking things out allowed us to get to a more workable question.

Here we go...
What impact will blogging have on student engagement with course material and resources?
(oh so sweet and yummy!)

Of course my husband put a tiny fly in the...well... syrup by suggesting this type of blog might not work as well for my purposes as another tool...Google Wave. Any thoughts?

Please feel free to "sticky" me in this forum as well as add your own questions...toils and troubles.

Commence boiling!

  1. Is this 'stickying'?
    Well, I am sure that I'll be requesting a Borders meeting... if for no other reason, to hang out with you and get some of their delicious tea : )
    Also, a great place to grade.
    I was thinking, actually, that it might be a good idea to set up a zone there every once in a while to work quietly or not so quietly in parallel. I know that I won't get any work done at home... let's face it. I also know myself well enough that if I know I am going to meet some folks, I'll start thinking ahead of time.
    Anyone? Maybe I'll just send a jot email out in August to see if anyone is interested?

  2. Where we're going daft...I mean draft. Thanks for the encouragement and space. Boiled my question a little more in the car this morning.

  3. I think a monthly or even bi-monthly Borders meeting sounds great. Lots can be gained by even getting together to be daft...I mean DRAFT. (Love that Audrey!) Let's see what everyone else thinks after you all have time to breath. :)
