But...
I just
- attended an ISTE Eduverse talk in Second Life with Doug (Blue Skunk) Johnson, topic: cloud computing
- checked profile of avatar sitting next to me at above
- still attending the Future of Education conversation with Lisa Gillis, topic: online courses
- grabbed my Kindle to check quote from Disrupting Classroom which was incorporated in chat and actually mentioned by moderator of Lisa Gillis' talk
- graded a few papers, but once both sessions got going, I dropped the hard copy paperwork
- added a quote to my wiki
- started this blogpost
mostly simultaneously. I don't think I was fully engaged in either presentation; I had to keep switching back and forth audio feeds, but I also don't think I missed much.
My interest has been high because if nothing was going on at one preso, I would simply switch to the other. I feel I got quite a lot of benefit from this first session of Multitasking 101!
I think what you're doing is mirroring the learner behavior we're observing in our classes: multi-tasking and prioritizing. Sounds great! VERY 21st century! : )
