Hello all!
I imagine that I'm not the only one to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the various ways we can engage with each other! So much so, that I find myself pondering what I've read in nearly all my idle moments: in the shower, while driving, and so on. On many of those occasions I have also pondered the scope of our efforts in this class and keep coming back to Shirky's illustrations of clusters (p. 27) to describe the Birthday Paradox. I feel we are challenged in much the same way to maintain all our connections. I shudder to think of Vanessa's (and Christie's and Woon Jee's) task to grasp the full cluster for this class! I did a little math on this and with 32 students, 2 TAs, and one instructor, that makes for 595 connections!
I found the dialog between Bryan and Vanessa very interesting and helpful for me to create purpose out of chaos! My aim is to use this weekly wrap to encapsulate my weekly experiences and activities.
