Test pilot

In this modern age of long distance relationships (my research participants are oceans away) blogging might be a useful way of conducting a thoughtful, extended dialogue that enables greater participation. 

I have not previously tried to use a blog for research other than sharing of my individual introspection and organization of thoughts and work so I hope this works out well.

As I begin to transcribe and code my data, I hope to confer and collaborate further with my participants at this venue, so that the narrative I (de)construct is an authentic one.

In this exciting journey of discovery (hello Zotero, Wordle and DiRT), I look forward to bringing together these new tools of trade, including posting collaborative efforts such as on MindMeister (one of my personal favorites). Wish me luck!
