Four of my five Team Voltron members had not connected in with their mixed group members as of last night. (We had set a deadline of Sunday, 6/24.) They are saying they had e-mailed their mixed group members Team Voltron's five ideas several days ago and had received no responses thus far. Are you getting similar feedback from your folks? (Not sure why they are e-mailing each other and not talking on IM, Skype, etc.?? E-mail seems less efficient and interactive to me, but every one of them chose to e-mail the written ideas and await written responses.)
One Voltron member asked if he could avoid the mixed group process entirely. I went over creation-netting and the importance of tapping into the greater wisdom of the group to help fine-tune ideas.
I've encouraged them to contact their mixed group members again, before our next check-in on Wednesday. What have your experiences been?

My students told me yesterday that "im'ing is a terrible idea" because it is too fleeting and it relies on the other person being there at the same time. Again, blogs/comments solve this problem.
