Old Dogs in New Media - Never Say We Can't Learn New Tricks!
What makes for a good conversation? A seemingly simple question, but it reminds me of the importance of the basics as we venture into new terrain opened by technology.
I am having so much FUN exploring technological tools for public engagement! The process certainly looks different at times, which is part of the fun. And, yet, I keep coming back to the basics. What do we know about what makes a good conversation in person, and how do we translate that into a new setting, whether it be a web dialogue or a collaborative modeling process?
For more musings on principles and practices for internet-based dialogues, see:

Here's hoping you are having fun learning new things, too! Gail
