"Reading for understanding is the core
process skill of science, and there is no substitute for practice
at an early age," he said. "A student who has not developed the
skill of learning through reading has no professional future in
science."

to stimulate individual and shared thinking as
well as to simulate on paper some of the communicative possibilities of
networked computers. I hadn't thought much about the technique again until
this new module.

Latency is critical. "Publication" is a waste of time: beyond their
immediate context, like conversation, Inksheds can be studied, but they
can't really be read. They need to be circulated immediately, and used.
The older an inkshed is, the staler. It has a short shelf life. Serve it
fresh or not at all. A good way to dramatize that inksheds are not quick
ways to generate permanent texts, but are rather ways to render text conversational,
is to throw them away when they've served their function -- that is, when
they've been read and had an effect on the social situation in which they
arose.

Readers can do the editing and selection.  This is what might be
called "classic" inkshedding, simply because it was the way it was done
first.  It's important to make clear to readers, however, that as
part of their reading they should mark -- clearly and unequivocally --
passages that strike them as worth noting, worth passing on.  A good
way to handle this is to ask each reader, if she agrees that a marked passage
is interesting or striking, to add an additional mark (vertical lines in
the margin are the clearest way to do this). After a given amount of time
for reading and marking (and it's important not to skimp on the time allowed:
it's worth bearing in mind that what's going on in the silence is
discussion), transcribers can take the raw inksheds and transcribe whatever
is most frequently marked (again, this isn't merely a mechanical process:
markers often mark carelessly or don't include enough to make the context
clear), printing and photocopying the resulting text.
