Just wanted to drop a note here as well to let James and all the folks at edublogs that I appreciate the work they have put in lately. I’ve been involved in projects that go south a couple of times and result in 24/7 work under pressure. Not fun, and not the easiest environment when everyone is looking over your shoulder (virtually or otherwise) complaining. Any of you guys in Northern Alberta on holidays sometime let me know – I owe you one.
This of course leads into my real thought for the evening – I am astounded at how much I rely on being connected and how I expect the world to work on my schedule. I hadn’t posted here for nearly a month, but passed the url around to my basketball team as one way to keep in touch with me over the summer. So I came to add a post, greeting them.
And I couldn’t get in. It was almost like the sun didn’t rise. This is not something I pay for, not something I have any real right to expect… but boy do I expect it.
So, in exchange for this wonderful medium being provided to me, I promise to use it more effectively and present the idea to my colleagues and students more vehemently. I will do my absolute best to add value to the experience here.
Next year maybe I’ll do the same at wikipedia.
