Dennis T OConnor's insight:
I'm always looking for good icebreakers. Indeed, I would drop any online class that doesn't strat with an icebreaker. Why? Starting with an icebreaker recognizes the importance of building trust in a learning community.

Better the few should change their attitudes and lighten up; skipping the icebreaker is a deal breaker for me!

Dennis T OConnor's insight:
I'm fascinated by the idea of a 'reputation trail' that builds a person's online presence and authority.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:
This site is one way to create an online reputation trail. I've been a member for about a month. I'm not yet sure I trust Trust Cloud to be around a year from now. However the basic concept is solid. It's good to learn a bit more about how the scores are determined. (Note, Trustcloud doesn not currently connect with Google+ despite what it says in this article. ) Delete the scoop?
