aoir folk,
late last week, i posted a message to air-l (msg title: "digital literacy takes a field trip to a farm") in which i suggested that barry wellman may have a "hissy fit" about the contents of the message. as barry notes in his reply to the list ("msg title: "hissy fit?") my tone was uncalled for and for that i apologize.
It was such a significant post that I think I binned it after a quick glance, and hadn't recalled what it was about (and still don't) and then someone posted about it. Seems to be molehills turned into swords, or something mixed.
i've been subscribed to air-l from the start, back in 2001, and for the most part the list has been interesting and engaging and useful. from time to time, flamewars develop, which are usually a drag, and i hope my post doesn't contribute to such an outcome.
Yup - hope not also.
so, with that in mind, i express my apologies to barry and to the list and extend an invitation for folks to post and share more about teaching internet studies in general and introducing logging off activities in particular.
Fair enough - and I hope we don't get too much about teaching :-) - not sure what logging off activities are anyway - and encourage greater discussion on and off line ... Something lie a couple of pennies worth :-) Dominic
