Comments on: The Comment Challenge as Sketchcast http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/2008/05/27/the-comment-challenge-as-sketchcast/ If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ~ Charlie Parker Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:17:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: dogtrax http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/2008/05/27/the-comment-challenge-as-sketchcast/comment-page-1/#comment-1960 dogtrax Thu, 29 May 2008 09:12:14 +0000 http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/?p=779#comment-1960 Claire, Great job on your sketchcast. I think we must have had the same art teacher (ha). But the visual, with your voice, is really engaging, and your points of showing how your network has grown was quite effective to me. I liked your point of noticing the interconnections going on. Sometimes we move so fast we don't see all of those connections. The challenge is forcing us, willingly, to slow down a bit and see what is there and just beyond our field of vision. Sue, I got some Mad Mouse Skills! (I've been wanting to write that, for some reason) :) Kevin Claire,

And what another great way to consider effective commenting practice as something that help you realise the depth of blogging communities. Wow you did well using a mouse -- I tried it months ago but really wanted a Tablet PC.

Here is the link to <a href="http://sketchcast.com/view/PC6v514" rel="nofollow">my Sketchcast comment</a>, which I will post on my blog soon, I hope! Thanks for inspiring me to try out something that has been on my to do list!

After watching your Sketchcast I'm thinking I'll have to give it a try and see how I can draw my view of how my network has changed. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sue What is interesting is that although it is true I had already connected with one circle of bloggers, the challenge has expanded that network and you slowly come to realize that there are many cocentric communities out there that sometimes overlap. But if you are not paying attention (or not going back to your comments), you may never quite realize the depth of those communities. Does that make sense? Kevin Bonnie

I saw this new tool here and went to the site and began to register and realized that I already joined. That was probably the last time you used it here. I am having trouble though hearing you. I don't think anyone else is having that problem. Bonnie Hey Kevin,

I've tried it using a mouse but its just not the same :( . Now I'm interested on your reflection of the Challenge. Before the Challenge you already had connections with global educators and regularly commented. So what do you feel are the main extras from the Challenges; e.g. exposed to a more diverse group of people, increased conversations through commenting? Cool I’m assuming that you used a Tablet PC?

I am not quite comfortable with the sketching but I love the concept. And sharing is so simple. Take care Kevin It is an interesting convergence of art and writing.
