Unworkshop2-my blog

Reflections of June 12^th, 06 

We,
Carolina, Ulrike and I had an interesting Skype-talk in German about us and blogs. Ulrike wrote a summary in her blog. 

Carolina is writing her theses about elearning and KM. Often companies start thinking of KM when getting in touch with elearning. Even more interesting is the thought of informal learning and KM, which leads me – again – to my personal challenge – a working personal KM starting with my laptop, moving to CDs, books, articles, papers of congresses, marketing material ….. 

Ulrike is thinking of exchanging her family website to a blog. I personally wouldn’t write my family stuff into the internet – am I too traditional? Am I thinking of the wrong things? Why don’t I want to post family related material into the web… 

What are my fears? Somebody with no good plans collects photos, combines them with the address and the name …. and surprises my kids, my parents, grandfather by knowing them and they believe the person and get raped, stolen whatever …. 

Though it could be tremendously interesting to enter “historical” data and find out if somebody else is interested in “my” family history and roots…. 

Evening session – 

Jay is Judy at least in the app share Jay is fighting against windmills like Don Quijote , his laptop broke down (what a dreadful thought!),  the guys in the hotel did not want him to go on online-talking without paying another day….Harold – ground control to Major Tom … 

The app share tool vyiew is interesting – I wonder if it is freely accessible Skype cast – it was the first time I used it – and in combination with the conference call a cool “architecture” – though still … 

What I would like to have in an online session

1. Harold or Judy to have the slides of Jay as well – so in case Jay disappears for some reason – the other one/s could continue and not have to wait
2. some possibility that everybody can/should speak (at least say yes or no) during the course of the session
3. perhaps every time a couple of students talk a little bit about who they are and actual topics to discuss with others in “private sessions”
