Comments on: Is Web 2.0 a Relevant Term? http://nnorris.edublogs.org/2009/07/09/is-web-20-a-relevant-term/ a new blogger's beginning Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:19:42 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Nadine N http://nnorris.edublogs.org/2009/07/09/is-web-20-a-relevant-term/comment-page-1/#comment-62 Nadine N Mon, 20 Jul 2009 22:03:53 +0000 http://nnorris.edublogs.org/?p=153#comment-62 Thanks Vicki for clarifying that particular session. For me, that experience reminds me that we need to be sensitive to everyone's position in our conversation. We all come with our own pre-conceived notions and our own life experience. Even though I'm used to using a back channel and it seems like a great strategy for interaction with the audience because I've seen it work at our state conference. Not everyone has participated in that kind of participation. When I'm faced with an unfamiliar situation, I jump in and give it a shot - not everyone is like me (and thank goodness for that!) Thanks for all you do. Thanks Vicki for clarifying that particular session. For me, that experience reminds me that we need to be sensitive to everyone’s position in our conversation.

To me, technology used well should always bring us closer together not pull us apart and really, I like the backchannel to stay in the back - for those who wish to participate to join in and those who do not, to just be able to ignore it! Thank you for the reflection - it was a good conversation for many -- although for some of us it was a bit tough! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!
