21:11:50 dave-on-air: how about 'understanding advertising'
21:11:52 kmls: okay, give me a minute
21:12:06 dave-on-air: we could do some stuff with like... sony's webpage
21:12:17 dave-on-air: and send students out to figure out how to 'understand' the advertising
21:12:19 kmls: you are way ahead of me...
21:12:44 kmls: let me go to sony's page
21:12:48 kmls: i'll be right back
21:12:52 dave-on-air: just an example
21:13:19 kmls: how about different approaches: sony vs. apple

21:20:27 buthaina: thanks, Doug, and would it tell me that the other person is adding more or less the same info.?
21:20:57 SharonBetts: It looks like I can edit other groups pages. Is that correct?

21:25:07 Jeff_from_Grand_Rapids: This was an awesome experience with bold participants.
21:25:17 SharonBetts: It was just moving too fast -- everyone first needs to be on the same page.
21:25:36 SharonBetts: It was really fun. The content would come later
21:25:48 Jeff_from_Grand_Rapids: I have been having MacFirefox issues so that my browser was not as repsonsive as I need.
21:26:06 Jeff_from_Grand_Rapids: I thinkii we should work and process and next week show and tell.
21:26:10 Cheryl_Oakes: I still missed, I think, how to make my page linking to anything
21:26:30 Cheryl_Oakes: oh lexicons would help me. It was fun, crzy and we accomplished a lot
