i <3 my class

Last night was the first meeting of Cmgt 534: Introduction to Online Communities. My co-teachers, Professor Karen North and Clint Schaff, got to meet our students for the first time. What an amazing group! I had been generally excited about the idea of teaching but was completely unprepared for the diversity of expertise present in this group. From the Second Life CSI:NY project at CBS to the Institute for the Triple Helix, from a mystery author -- who's book looks very cool -- to Gone Gitmo, this APOC cohort is definitely going to teach me as much as I teach them.

I think the real challenge will be not grabbing them for startup ideas :-)!
