Rick you suggested, and I agree,
"I propose we try make explicit our notions of effective conversational
practice in this electronic medium. Practices that will contribute to
creating a learning community. And, that we actually DO practice them here
in addition to talking about them."
What, in your view, would contribute to effective conversational practice
in this medium? Or, in conventional settings?>
One contribution is listening. Someone a couple of weeks ago alluded to
the looming tragedy of the commons faced by the list. There are so many
good conversations going on it is hard not to jump in, engaging keyboard
before brain or Turbo-posting as someone else called it. I sense a danger
of lack of learning - at least for myself and am currently trying to
curtail my natural tendency to want to reply to every second message.
I hope this will create more space for some of the contributions that come
from those whose preference is a more occasional message.
