In his capacity as a WikiGnome and supervisor of the USFSP WikiNode, Professor Trey Conner (Wi-J ShareRiff) agrees to:
*Culture, grow, and actualize a vibrant wiki community through posting, response, editing and multimedia composition. USF-St. Pete wikis will be the sites for student writing - assignments, postings, campus projects and activities, collaborations with USFSP faculty, everything - connected to classes taught by ShareRiff. Fall 2007 courses will "prime" this particular WikiNode, so that ProjectX can go online in January ' 08. In Janurary '08, students will arrive at their own class wikis to find them linked through Project X to the overall MetaWiki already jumping with posts that utilize text, images, sound, and links to share narratives, respond to topical events both mundane and urgent, evaluate issues, texts, and artifacts of culture, politics, science, and religion, and much more. The freedom to share and create knowledge the wiki way creates the vibrant sense of community fundamental to learning and especially germane to contemporary writing pedagogy.
* Post thrice weekly on his wiki page, which will itself be linked to the metawiki. In his thrice weekly postings, ShareRiff will provide wiki wisdom: How to learn with wiki, how to teach with wiki, how to avoid wikifying your whole life, how to wikify your whole life, and so on. The posts, like all the wikis, will be offered with a Creative Commons License to ensure easy sharing and to help teach students about intellectual property issues. Content of ShareRiff's wiki posts will not be restricted in any way, but ShareRiff will provide an example of right wiki behavior with his posts.
* ShareRiff will make presentations on Wiki pedagogy at conferences, performances, and gatherings.
Endless summer is coming to an end, huh? At first, after the Computers and Writing Conference in Detroit, I felt I was dancing around in a cloud of mini-projects and many media--some actually jumped analog to digital, or digital into analog. I have sort of experimented with spending wiki-time otherwise--not disavowing the sacrament, just heuristically nosing around in a semester-less space, deploying ye olde trope of substitution on my writing process; One practice for another(s). In such a drift study, the kids, singin "school's out" (but not forever!) provided an ordering principle (by their very activity) for their old dad, who grew more and more accustomed to simply witnessing the whirl of activity. In between camp-hopping, I found time to deeply reflect on and closely dial into my funny fixation on "practices," and enjoy yet ANOTHER amazing conference experience in July, this time at Penn State. In the fundamental aimlessness of the derive, it has been understood: writing-on-the-drift always effectuates a time-shift, so that deep connections and fundamental relationships can be seen, heard, and felt. So now, let us dive back into wiki consciousness, and glide into the peak hot-weather time of the year, Fall semester!! I want to wait until I meet the new students I before lock in on readings, but at the wiki where I've been thinking through the special topics class, I've started places a few book titles as links, just to think them through...I won't actually want to assign too much reading. Still, I will of course appreciate any suggestions!

for helping with writing-between-tenses as a I dive headlong back into the wiki "Mind at large".

It was great seeing y'all at the Emerald. Cacophony69 is preparing to grab the mic next time--people, get ready!
Jeremy grabbed some snapshots with his little pocket vid device:
Sorry I missed the fun! I hear you were awesome! I'll look forward to the next time! - SM

Friends,
Sorry for such a late notice on this, but tonight (Thursday) I will perform with a guit/bass/drums trio, just a short set of songs-in-the-making, downtown at the Emerald Room, at 10:00 PM. For the first time in a while, Angie and I have managed to find a sitter available to care for Odessa and Aeden at night, so Angie will be out on the town, too!
