Editor's Notes
- Negotiate contentHigh level of engagementSmall group interactionAddressing important question – can see multiple points of viewDISADVANTAGESNo permanent record – record is time & place bound: hard to carry around the flip chartsMultiple versions of the responses – can’t see everyone else’s workCan’t track chagnes – when priorities were shifted, it’s not clear how they shifted & what happened to earlier versionIt’s difficult to judge the level of participation or the quality of an individual’s contributions
