I think it might – blogged it on the eduFire blog:

But what do YOU think?

Its an idea, but if I dont have a proper workstation, i.e. I often connect from my gf house and she have a webcam and mic so….

Of course I’m all about making the “virtual” more “real” but I guess linking your profile with an tweeter or blog, could be just as effective!

Happy Holidays everybody!

ps: I’m jealous too!! Lol!

I have always been interested to see how and where people work. I like it tells a lot about the person, sometimes good and bad. I certainly would never make a full decision on a person’s character by their workspace though. But it does add a little reality to the situation. =)

If I posted pictures of my workspace, I might scare my students away. LOL.

My workspace is dusty too. I have no allergy to housedust now. I am aging well said the doctor. Before I could not stand dust, sneezing all the time. It’s a question of andropause said my doc. With some water I will die in mud if the show goes on ?

I’ve added a picture of my workspace to my profile. But I have a very weird setup where I’m living now since I often use my TV as the monitor. Hopefully it won’t scare the students!

I like the picture Vanessa. I think you have a neat setup!

Whoa, Vanessa, no fair! You use a TV for your monitor!

My setup is similar to Vanessa’s, in the sense that my TV doubles as a computer monitor. I guess I can’t really do much, though, since I’m working with such limited space (I live in a studio). All I know is I think it’s worsening my vision, so I should probably stick with using my laptop :P
