We had a unique experience last night in our weekly meeting in SL. After our group discussion, we broke into two groups. My group went off to discuss our projects using a technique called “Critical Friends.” In our group, one person “talked” (we used text chat so that we could log our discussion easily — an not to be overheard by the other group). After they had finished, the listeners gave feedback — or a brain dump. While we were doing that, we also were able to overhear the discussion that Dr. Gibson was having with the other group on writing skills for professional papers. Talk about multi-channel! While I thought it was distracting at first, I realized that I was able to adapt to, and actually enjoy, the distraction!
