Working from Home

Working from home is usually great, and once I had my gmail and chat programs set up it seemed to work fine. I don't know how well chat would work for me in a real-life situation. It seems easier to email or talk on the phone, but I imagine I'd get used to it over time.

Telecommuting

We're trying out working from home today, partly to experience the kinds of interactions that many of our students have on a daily basis in the evenings, and partly to make a few life arrangements easier for us on this particular day. We'll be using Diigo for links, the blog as a notebook, and chat programs as quick communication. We're going to be looking for the strengths and weaknesses of this arrangement and these modes of communication.
