It's stuff I've been thinking about for a long time (and is related to my academic research as well as my church life) and I worked hard to put it in some kind of accessible form. The <I>Lambeth Witness</I> framed the context of the questions in a different way from what I had done, but that's okay. I'm honored that the questions I raised are in wider circulation - and they are really questions that belong to all of us.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-82324178068024705662008-07-21T23:34:00.000-04:002008-07-21T23:34:00.000-04:00It was an important piece to be distributed there....It was an important piece to be distributed there. Maybe at least one bishop will read it and carry those ideas in to the Indaba groups where perhaps they need to be heard.

I've noticed this myself -- the article really rang true to me. <BR/><BR/>And I noticed this afternoon that my concentration was much better white I was reading for two hours in Spanish because I wasn't flitting about or responding to an English text like one of my ADD students. This didn't happen to me in the same way pre-Web.<BR/><BR/>It may also be that some of us are more attention-flitting-prone than others and/or more internet-addicted...<BR/><BR/>I'm wrestling with this one right now.Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-14150215505690025482008-07-21T22:11:00.000-04:002008-07-21T22:11:00.000-04:00Jane --this is fascinating.

But I wonder how truly new it is.... in designing a museum exhibit (what I did before my recent gig!) --one has three or four levels of text available: Title, the comment, the proof, details of the exhibited object. <BR/><BR/>90% of the museum-going public will read only the title text, which is usually larger than the rest. Of the remaining 10%, fewer than half read all the comment, and fewer than half again read the proof or object detail.<BR/><BR/>This scanning has been known in that field for quite some time. Perhaps we are only just discovering it in this medium as well.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.it's margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577280471100732619noreply@blogger.com
