As a visual person, I often get lost when I’m in a full room discussion – even if it is well moderated and there is an overview. Whenever I’m in discussions, I take notes visually having learned the techniques of visual facilitation and mind mapping to help me process. I suspect I’m not alone.

Visualize On Paper: Over the past 10 months, I've made a return to paper and markers and using mind maps or visualization techniques to reflect, and plan my week or day. I use this as a pre-writing exercise as well as a reflection exercise. Reflection: Reflection doesn't have to be a huge amount of time to be effective.

We started the morning by reflecting in small groups on emerging insight and strategies. My favorite insight from this session was the comment that sometimes it is as simple as having conversations. Now we are deep into reflection mode….hmmmm hmmmm I guess that means there is more to come.

The NTEN project is an excellent learning laboratory for reflection and learning about this topic. How do you get people to contribute their knowledge - whether it be to a wiki page, leaving a comment on a blog post, or tagging a resource? I wonder if there are levels of responsibility - similar to the activism ladders of engagement.

The big ah ha for me during our reflection that was that effective online collaboration tools for working in a networked way can't have top-down control interaction design. This comes in the form of maps or other creative ways to see our networks. I've been noticing that in the comments a little bit of self-organizing on going.

And while I''m heartened by the fact that YouTube commenters were offended and dismayed by the commercial, I do think this commercial reflects common fears that museum-lovers have about younger generations and museums. This kind of behavior is a violation of attention no matter where it happens. It''s not pandering. It''s bridging.'

TRG Arts describes this as a graphical representation of the seat map where the ticketed seats are represented in colors. The heat map helps you identify your most attractive seats or times for attendance, and price accordingly – driving up ticketing revenue.
