What color is your sandbox?

Time for #the5

Color code your Google Calendar events http://bit.ly/moUiCp me: yes, you can color your world! #the5

I don't approve of color coding in spreadsheets as that generally doesn't help with any sorting or filtering, but the visualization effect on a calendar is a good use.

Read, Run, Ride, Write http://bit.ly/lp8BJz "to find the story that must be told" #the5 from @daveatkins

What is the scaffolding for learning in public? http://bit.ly/kANyJW "networked learning happens in the context of an ecosystem" #the5

Creating the appropriate sandbox for learning and collaborating I do think is key to success of the learning/collaborating performed. One of the reasons that the unconference format works so well is that it can meet the needs of the folks involved in that particular content matter. One of the reasons there is some variability in success for unconferences is in the setup, creating the expectations for, enabling the proper use of the tools in the sandbox.
