I rank high, among the benefits of participating in virtual conversation, the provision of ideas for lessons and ideas to share with my primarily ESL students. At times, an online essay seems perfectly formed for some pertinent point about understanding or creating a narrative. Much more frequently, some tart exchange, either here or elsewhere, offers a snippet of dialog or aspect of prose that helps to inform a class, generally by making concepts that I want to share more tangible or interesting.
