Communities Virtual and Embodied
I'm somebody who spends an incredible amount of time doing email; it's a liability of my job. I've never spent much time in the bloggosphere, as a reader or a writer. I love sitting around the table here at DMAC, with everyone working away, folks solving problems collaboratively as they emerge. I'm gonna do my best to give this a real try to see what the virtual community that is produced via the blogging offers. I'll be trying to find my voice in this environment. Right now, I just feel awkward, which is ok. Means I'm in a position to learn rather than perform.

Hi all,
This is also my first blog; like everything else this week, I'm getting to it a bit late. While I'm overwhelmed by everything that's going on in the workshop, I am thrilled--and terrified--to be engaging in this amazing learning environment. I am reminded by my experience that learning styles are so diverse. Some of us are more visual, some prefer auditory methods. Some need a quiet place to meditate and slowly process. I am thankful for this lesson because I need to remember it every time I walk into a class. As I've moved from audio to video, I've been trying to process what I need to do differently to really understand the different modalities and media. I don't have an answer yet; the struggle continues. Now, I'm off to confront the video assignment.
