            <description><![CDATA[<p>Atmospheric, emotive and deeply personal...</p><p>I have attached a transcript of a discussion our group had last week on the metaphor of stepping stones and pebbles - 'kidnapping them' in particular (courtesy of Tracy) in relation to E-portfolios. Several of our group related to this thread and added their own stories which enriched the whole experience. This experience deepened when we explored pebble pad, e-portfolio technology, with its related imagery and simplicity. I also came across the video below from Youtube this evening and have added it due to its imagery of streams, stones, stepping stones and reflections.</p><p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L1CWG2daM7Y&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed class="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L1CWG2daM7Y&hl=en&fs=1" width="425" height="344"/></object></p><p>Finally, the discussion file attached demonstrates the connective power of collective thought &nbsp;and what can happen when multiplicity and serendipity meet, resulting in a link to another discussion thread 'seemingly relevant' to the fluidity of the web, 'web of flow' and Tracey's story of kidnapping pebbles........ Which leaves me wondering and questioning where the role of conversation resides if learning is truly social. Is there a place for it as artefact in an e-portfolio?</p><p><b>[You do not have permission to access this file]</b></p>]]></description>
