Howard Rheingold wrote the The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online in 1998.
What three rules or tips did you find interesting or have experienced so far in your online meetings or interaction?
As we have encountered each part of this course so far and undertaken online meetings, using the various chosen tools such as Gmail, Skype and CSU Interact, I believe our study group have come to each experience with
“a spirit of group creativity, experimentation, exploration and good will”.
We have definitely been challenged not so much by the human side of things but definitely by the “technological bugs” we have encountered along the way.
“All online social systems are challenged by human social foibles and technological
bugs that tend to split groups apart.”
We have discussed our problems and aired opinions yet, as determined learners, and after most likely having faced similar challenges as educators in our own settings, members of the group have worked to move forward and move onto the next experience with open minds.Particularly with the establishment of our Pod groups it is obvious that “communities can’t be manufactured” they have been organised for us and we have been given the “heads up” that we will need them but the pods have been slow to get going, for whatever reason.
“Communities can’t be manufactured, but you can design the conditions under which
they are most likely to emerge, and encourage their growth when they do.”
What has been achieved has been encouraged and celebrated, however, and I am confident that this community will eventually kick off and foster some worthwhile learning.
