A safe space in real time offers rich opportunity for experimentation. The Social web may possess the tools to accommodate these experiments. Let's break out the components:
- Moments of silence
- Appreciations
- Announcements
- Problems with Solutions
- Hopes and Dreams
Can online real time activity help anyone of these? We can link to projector and use the large screen to post information to the community, will this serve the same purpose, allowing other voices to speak on a more personal level? Let announcements became virtual, on screen for one or two circles simultaneously while allowing greater exploration of community appreciations, cpt, puzzles with solutions.
In a large class we can have a screen where students post their comments via google docs eluminate white board to questions while other students voice their answers so everyone can say something if they want.
I have more questions than answers. Will people take the introduction of a screen and media as an intrusion into personal space?

I've been thinking about this for a while. Part of the design problem is the tools, but part of the design problem is keeping the human side. There was an invocation of magic when Libba through in the flowers. But you can't have that same thing every time or it looses meaning.
ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by human ceremony, about the commonalities of a shinto tea with a catholic mass with a pagan circle. I wrote a little about something called an Intimacy Gradient in an old post http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2004/08/intimacy_gradie.html that fits into this category of thought.
