Tag­ging before, dur­ing and after a con­fer­ence is a key tool for using a big con­fer­ence as a kind of host sys­tem a smaller group that wants to con­nect.

“At the end of the day, it isnt about the tech­nol­ogy.… It isnt about the com­puter replac­ing the book. It is about a world where stu­dents learn with a book in one hand and a mouse in the other, rather than one where they are taught that book cul­ture is so frag­ile it needs to be pro­tected from the computer.

Jenna McWilliams, until recently, part of our Project NML staff, writes pow­er­fully about read­ing with a mouse in your hand. She tells us that teach­ers often encour­age stu­dents to read with a pen­cil in their hands — not sim­ply let­ting the words pass over their eye­balls but crit­i­cally engag­ing with them, tak­ing notes, ask­ing ques­tions, cri­tiquing as they go. When stu­dents read with a mouse in their hands, they take this one step fur­ther: they assume that they must actively respond to whats been put in front of them; they are poised to par­tic­i­pate; they take respon­si­bil­ity over the qual­ity of infor­ma­tion and cor­rect it pub­li­cally if it is wrong. ”
