Hi Andy.
Thanks for moving me, and my posterous archive, over to Telegram. From now on this is where I'll post letters that I've written to various people, and other bits and pieces that I want to have to hand in a public space.
So.. here goes with my first one.

Day in the life of an online learning-and-collaboration explorer - continued
October 13, 2012
Yesterday I posted about "Day in the life of an online learning-and-collaboration explorer" http://dadamac.posterous.com/day-in-the-life-of-an-online-learning-and-col
It included a google chat with my friend Fola - http://www.dadamac.net/network/folabi-sunday-folarin - which was more than a single posterous post could handleHere is the end of the chat and brief observations about "my kind" of online learning.
me: hmm - your money would be deducted? so you pay by card not by cashI think soon your time will be up :-(folarin: for data you load recharge card and it would be deducted we are only chatting nowchatting might not consume much datafolarin: unlike opening pagesand surfingwe just used 7 megout of our 10 meg now7.50 megme: indeed. when there are pictures it soon goesfolarin: left 2.50folarin: i will be going home nowhope to chat with youme:
thanks for the chatand greetings to your familyfolarin: thanks for you time as wellme: it is a long time since we chattedfolarin: yesme: it has been a pleasure to catch up with youfolarin: nice talkingme: well done on the new jobfolarin: bfnme: BFNI often describe myself as an online learner - but I am often misunderstood because many people think of online learning as formal courses. Much of my online learning comes from my online friends, with their many different areas of knowledge. Today started in Mexico with Liam and a theoretical discussion (based on experience). It finished in Nigeria with Fola kindly explaining to me the practical details of online payment of school fees and touched on much else in between. From my point of view - a good day.
(Mention of Liam and others was in the previous, truncated post - http://dadamac.posterous.com/day-in-the-life-of-an-online-learning-and-col )
Day in the life of an online learning-and-collaboration explorer
October 12, 2012
My friend Liam describes me as an "online learning-and-collaboration explorer". I think he's right.
So if that's what I am - what does it involve? And does it have any value? Of course it all depends on how you define value. I believe in the value of learning by doing, gaining information by sharing information, gaining new knowledge by exploring ideas with others, and having high trust relationships. This means that I value the incidental contacts I had during the day with various people, mostly friends, who all either teach me things or we collaborate (sometimes of often) or a mixture of both.
