There's a scene in The Wizard of Oz where the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion find the poor battered Scarecrow after he's been set upon by the Wicked Witch's Flying Monkeys. The Scarecrow says, "They tore my legs off and threw them over there! Then they took my chest out and threw it over there!"
The Tin Man replies, "Well, that's you all over."
This is kind of how I feel about the participants of Ootle15. Instead of being tidily in one place, the way students are in conventional classrooms, you seem to be all over. Instead of being identifiable faces and voices, you are strewn about the Ootle landscape in tweets and blogs and Moodle reports. Week by week, I assemble you in my mind. Slowly you are coming together, Ootlers.
"They sure knocked the stuffings out of you, didn't they."
"Don't stand there talking, put me together--we've got to find the Tanak!"
I love this so much! I kind of feel the same way... It's a tad overwhelming at times, but I think it's going well, so far!
