The amazing thing is how big the bag is getting... and that&#39;s before you start looking at the Interchange Environments, which add a whole lot.<br />Charlie, I hadn&#39;t thought of LinkedIn as an Interchange environment but with the groups capability, it probably could be! <br />Thanks for the comments.PolivkaVoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362867632175767328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293958323789487599.post-8503618458028944852009-09-16T12:05:00.168-04:002009-09-16T12:05:00.168-04:00Hi Bryan,<br /><br />I found your blog entry via LinkedIn, which I now see as another potential interchange environment, though with perhaps less exclusivity in its current iteration.Charliehttp://www.linkedin.com/in/charlieorchardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293958323789487599.post-69486131903115616752009-09-15T16:50:07.066-04:002009-09-15T16:50:07.066-04:00FWIW, I call this &quot;Bag of Tools&quot; online education, as in teachers picking a variety of discrete tools to create learing experiences. <br />Does BOT work better as a TLA than NIE (non-LMS Interchange Environment)? We need to settle this important question early!<br /><br />- KendrickNews Digest-erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16936301754052012083noreply@blogger.com
