Was contacted by Mark Bernstein of Eastgate Technology about attending a hypertext workshop in March. Looks pretty interesting, but I need more time to understand the concept. Here’s a case study that does it some justice: Lindsay’s Story: Hypertext and Liberation in High School. In his e-mail he says they are working on tools for webloggers that makes, analyzes and shares notes and he wants to get more feedback from secondary school teachers. I asked him for more info.
As I was reading the case study I realized that I need to make sure they know their personal weblogs are private. I want them to use it as a brain dump where they can sift through the many thoughts that they may have about their topics, make connections to the text and to life (hypertext?), and just feel free to vent. Maybe I shouldn’t link to their logs on the page. I can just set that up for myself.
