dmantz7 says Jan 04, 2010 05:32PM immediate (relatively soon) feedback and support. Great way to bounce ideas and be able to save the entire dialog for future reference.

Zomby Jan 04, 2010 05:55PM I agree with kevinhoneycutt that Plurk's key for educ. use is in connecting educators, blogs and websites are better for sharing content

drmmtatom says Jan 04, 2010 08:50PM I think that it is good in order to see all of your responses together in one list.
Jules says Jan 05, 2010 01:21PM its a good idea in theory, however for someone who is has a strength in auditory, but a weakness in reading this would/is very difficult
Jules says Jan 05, 2010 01:22PM that's my problem. It takes me reading something three or four times and I still might not understand
Jules says Jan 05, 2010 01:22PM it's why my responses aren't always ummm inline with everyone or even the topic at hand
