I've found that...Having some of the same thoughts. I've found that for myself - I switch from a need for static codified resources to fluid conversation when I am starting to look for context / ways to apply the information beyond a simple, single-task how-to. <br /><br />Admittedly - I'm much more inclined to hide out with my books and texty things until the last minute....<br /><br />What could be promising is figuring out ways to track that conversation. We see some of it in case studies. Some in the conversations on Twitter. Or blog comments. What have people tried? What parts of their context make or break a particular solution? The almost real-time conversation digs out variables that may not have been considered before....<br /><br />It seems to be part of 1 big cycle. Look at the codified info, get to a point where I have questions and need to figure out ways to apply the information, find answers through conversation, codify the info again, rinse, repeat.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148326128914333870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-5562900433816788192009-04-21T20:00:00.000-07:002009-04-21T20:00:00.000-07:00Kia ora Tony!
I really like how you are developin...Kia ora Tony!<br /><br />I really like how you are developing this. I read what you say about the importance of conversation learning despite its complexity and I agree.<br /><br />One human characteristic that I find fascinating is diversity, especially as applied, in this instance, to interpretation and in discerning what aspect of a conversation is important and what is less so.<br /><br />There are similar parallels in how a person interprets a video, a talk/lecture/podcast, or an essay come to that. Studies in English literature show us how this diversity can be illuminating.<br /><br />BUT . . .<br /><br />. . . getting the wrong end of the stick from a conversation is something else, albeit another diversity. I guess this is one part of how conversation learning is complex, as you say.<br /><br />Catchya laterBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.com
