Group Topic Ideas

In thinking of ways to generate conversations on the groups and group blog I maintain, I’ve been thinking of topics that might get an opinion out of people.As I am going back to school very soon, Self Education is certainly going to be getting a good deal more attention than it has in the past. I’m hoping that it will grow as a place where people can discuss different methods of education as well as have interesting discussions about the various academic subjects out there.

With TR2070-DAFT, I’m going to test the waters of the more inclusive policy I set in place a few months ago by inviting people who are fans of other genres into the group. It’s my hope that it will help foster conversations and generate new ideas.

….Lunatic Fringe…. in being the only one among the things I moderate which is signifigantly different, in that it’s a group blog rather than an e-mail list, is a bit more difficult to figure out. In finding topics, I’d have to not only figure out what would get the current members posting but also figure out which topics would generate enough interest in the group that others will be interested in joining.

One Human Tribe, it seems to be growing…slowly. Now that there are a few more members, I’m going to start encouraging people to introduce themselves in addition to running topics. I won’t be posting the PGRDF or anything like that (though I won’t refuse peoples right to use it) but I might do a short survey which will be sent along with the welcoming message for new members to fill out. I will also be posting here a bit more rather than leaving it to the hope that people will post themselves and generate discussion.

I will be doing this next Saturday as that’s now my only free day until late December.
