You asked in an earlier post about our experiences on microblogging: … if it helps managing complexity, focusing, concentration => learning. I got stuck with externalizing my learning some time in the middle of cck08 - through my blog. Therefore my two papers + the final work are still unpublished. I’m confident though - that they’ll be ready and posted one by one. Following schedules is an important skill - but in this case I think learning acc. to one’s own personal schedule is a value in itself. Just the learning process progresses..

Microblogging has become one core experience of cck08 for me. It formulated by me using a number of different social networking applications I familiarized with during the cck08. Flickr photos and Twitter / TwitWall have become for me a way of daily reflection. They also offer a possibility for sharing links, commenting etc. The flexibility suits me - to post one picture only, or write a long post… Just that I get some amount of learning published every day

That sounds so simple - like what’s special in that really?? Simple it is. But I’ve found in it a way to collect my thoughts and occasionally jump to a sideway… The certain randomness of microblogging through different channels - quite surprisingly actually - is a means and tool of organizing for me.

Let’s stay connective! Irmeli
