They're already so far ahead I'm not sure it's possible to really catch up. I had a family emergency last week so I didn't do any of the course readings or participate in the Moodle forum. But I do have a list and I'll practice my filtering and assessment skills as I figure out where to put my time and energy.

It's all such interesting stuff. Just participated in the Elluminate discussion this morning. Lots of sharing going on in the chat area while George or Stephen or the other participants were talking. I came away with an Ursula Franklin reference to pseudo-communities that I want to read more about. She's got an interesting perspective on technology and I know I have her book from my UBC MET program but I don't recall exactly what her point was about pseudo-communities.

George talked about using technology to make the content of the course "flow" better for all of us - and isn't that what connectivism is all about? Learning how to use the tools to make ourselves better learners?
