So, I wonder what collaborative thinking through our fingers might look like when it comes to capturing and sharing notes from conferences, dialogs, meetings or informal gatherings. I often see many people taking notes at conference, either with pen in a moleskin or typing into a laptop.

The week is built in partnership with over 35 collaborators. The conference had fast and reliable wifi and many had their laptops opened and were tweeting before the conference started – so I encouraged using Twitter as a back channel.

I would bring the laptop and plug into the phone line and do demos in small groups. And I had to tape flip chart paper over the windows so it would get dark enough to project the laptop to show the presentation. First, my preferred method of instruction is to be more interactive and facilitate discussion. Collaborating.

It was like very primitive version of wiki collaborative organizing. Later, as more and more people created web pages, I would hand facilitate comments and did primitive crowd sourcing. I tried to apply all that I learned about facilitating online conversations, connecting, and networking to blogging. The Typo Police Page.
