@giles_julian "Horses for courses"? Why assume that physical "presence" is some privileged way to communicate - always? #mscidel
RT @giles_julian: @jar No, being the the same room as someone is different ...... 8< ... #mscidel / Different; but not necessarily better.
Dreyfus; do we *really* leave our bodies - our emotions - *behind* when we go online? #mscidel
#mscidel the plan of reading Dreyfus on the train didn't work, met people going to same meeting! Might work out on way home this evening.
RT @sbayne: I'm with Burbules: the classroom proximity which empowers some, oppresses others - distance has educational value #mscidel
@giles_julian @hamacleod might have some links to evidence that questions how good we actually are reading 'non-verbal cues'. #mscidel

#mscidel first ever tweet..excited but a wee bit scared!
@Cathb22 thanks for the codeacademy link. I've only finished the first set of activities so far. It guess it's not my 'code year'! #mscidel
#mscidel as always, need to ask what's the problem we are trying to solve - ultimate, not pro proximate
#mscidel reading Dreyfus, 2001 ed, now. I'll be back.
#mscidel If your interested in coding, great website, easy to follow tutorials www.codecademy.com
@websjapan #mscidel As I see it, he basically says students taking ownership of their education leads to better achievement
@jar #mscidel probably not, but then he doesn't really seem to make much sense to me!
@jar No, being the the same room as someone is different due to feeling their presence; non verbal communication cues too. #mscidel
Embodiment - need is subject specific? Eg. math versus philosophy or language, interaction in close proximity is integral #mscidel

@OsbertL Doesn't only following people you know in RL somewhat limit the advantage of twitter? #mscidel
preparing for #mscidel online twitter session tomorrow, I discover that some publishers at least have made a complete hash of ebooks!
#mscidel First ever tweet. Test ready for tomorrow. Very uncomfortable with the 100% public nature of this.
@lconnelly09 #mscidel any thoughts on the emptiness of the i and identity? :)
@jar #mscidel humm. blake accuses him of a lack of imagination. i think that's true. maybe dreyfus should visit the holodeck?
#mscidel What are the important features of "shared human space"? Eye contact? Synchronicity? Emotional investment? Material co-presence?
@websjapan Do you think Dreyfus would agree that telepresence = embodiment and "shared human space"? #mscidel
