Great Expectations

Enjoyed your Great Expectation presentation ... it lives up to its name!


And what a boon this document will be insofar as the job-market is concerned ... pop this thing in your pocket and let it do it's thing ... you'll wow 'em.


(Actually, I wish we would have spent more time on some of the technical issues that you confronted in putting it all together. No matter, I am sure I'll have time to pick up all these FTPing skills at some point.less ... ! )


Hey, one thing I wanted to pose as a question, as it's something that came up in my own class blog. What can be said about the sense of "have a great summer and see you in the fall" when it comes to technology?


I mean, doesn't New Media complicate this sense that there is even a sense of "summer break" or "see you later"?


Seems to me that emails and exchanges easily keep hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmming along and that the very idea that a class is "over" or that things will be "picked up again" in late August misses something insofar as the boundlessness and interconnectiveness of all this ...


Why, in some sense, doesn't new media make it difficult to know when a class is "over" when the participants can go right on doing what they do in the forum that continues in Internet space?


Great Expections that keep expecting ...
