Comments on: Facilitation Antipattern: Terrible Tweeter http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/2009/03/06/facilitation-antipattern-terrible-tweeter/ Thoughts on Agile software development, facilitation, communication, and relationships in the personal and professional worlds, from Steven "Doc" List Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:13:36 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Steven "Doc" List http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/2009/03/06/facilitation-antipattern-terrible-tweeter/comment-page-1/#comment-261 Steven "Doc" List Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:53:20 +0000 http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/?p=252#comment-261 Hillary, I'm sympathetic. I type MUCH faster than I write. If you want to take notes during a session, make it overt by asking the permission of the others. Make sure you state the benefits, without going overboard. Will you share your notes? Will you record action items? Or is it just for you? Any of those is okay, as long as you let everyone know. Letting them know is respectful, and takes away the negative stain that you accrue if they think you're just being rude, inattentive, or distracting. ...Doc Hillary,

I’m sympathetic. I type MUCH faster than I write. If you want to take notes during a session, make it overt by asking the permission of the others.

Letting them know is respectful, and takes away the negative stain that you accrue if they think you’re just being rude, inattentive, or distracting.

I'm not working on something else, but taking session notes--but it is true that there's no way anyone would necessarily know I'm not working on some fool PowerPoint! I vastly prefer to record notes on my netbook, rather than on a notepad, as I am a fast typist and can capture salient points verbatim. I'm curious what others thing--is this inappropriate/rude?
