It is just starting up with Alisha Kamph, Samantha Sturman, Sara Welch, and Sarah McGuire.<br /><br />This is, therefore, meta-meta-meta-blogging.<br /><br />Update 10:30--The folks have been discussing the benefits and drawbacks of blogging with the following questions:<br /><blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Nature of the Discussion</span><br />1. Are our posts on PeerCentered discussion that could not have been carried on inside the classroom or the center?<br />2. What post(s) are most useful?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Peers and Community</span><br />1. How important is the emphasis on peers and the open membership of PeerCentered?<br />2. Do we build a sense of community or is it exclusive?<br />3. Are there privacy issues to blogging publicly?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tutor Training and Coursework</span><br />1. Does the blog serve as a tool for tutor training/development?<br />2. Is it limited to an Oasis that complements classroom training and writing center experience or could it replace teacher-student interaction?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Technical Terrain</span><br />1. How do we feel about the physical aspects of the blog?</blockquote><br /><br />Feel free to discuss these questions in comments.....<br /><br />I want to ask this question: How has having folks who do not work in your center influenced your learning about writing center theory and practice?Clint Gardnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671508034667904543Clint.Gardner@slcc.edu
