What are your experiences with, "The Big Think"????
I've had problems with, "The Big Think" from the very start.
First, it was an access issue, then photos and avatars. Now that those things are working, it just seems slow and difficult for me to navigate.
I get errors when I try to post new threads, even though they do apparently post.
It's kinda buggy from my perspective. But there's valuable stuff there - if you dig.
What are your thoughts and suggestions on The Big Think, and how do you typically use it, or find it useful?
Personally, I like a site called http://homeschoolhelpdesk.com, which is really neat. Oh, wait, that's this site ;)
Kindest regards,
Bradley
Bradley, to quote someone I don't remember, "Companies fail and die until their corpses form the bridge to the future." Sometimes it makes it hard to find something you like. Too many corpses! :-)

Hi Bradley,
What is "The Big Think"? I've never heard of it...
Please do tell your friends about HomeschoolHelpDesk! Maybe we can get some energy going here :)
ah, apparently it is only for k12.com parents. You can get a peek at the styling of the site here: https://nrg.k12.com/clearspace/login.jspa but it's just a screen saying you've been logged out.
To access it, one must login to the k12 system and then pick "The Big Think" from the OLS main page.
The site is slow, clunky, quirky, has little actual participatory traffic, and aside from some pretty kewl artwork in the design, lacks real functionality that I, as an IT professional, have come to expect from typical GPL'd open source software.
Aside from that, the content is also redundant.
