I wasn't planning on adding another post during this class, but my experience online tonight demanded it.
I became an IM user. Yes, Instant Messenger and I became companions. It was a whole new experience for me.
Blessings on my classmates, Bob, Brenda and Christi who helped me figure out how to communicate on IM by their great example.
It was a bit confusing having four people all "talking" at the same time, but for the most part we figured it out. We had to go back for clarification a couple of times. Overall, I found it a fascinating study in group interaction--in a whole new medium for me.
I could tell that the others were more familiar with the format. They were quicker and seemed really comfortable. I assume I'll be comfortable with it soon, too.
It was humorous at the end, when I didn't even know how to sign off. We all said "good night" and then I had to ask, "how do I get out of here?"
Our IM chat was a great way to wrap up my experiences in COM 502.
