When using a new tool, I think about permanence. For some tools, I'm more interested in the process of making thinking visible and the ensuing discussion than in the longevity of the product. But in other things, like my blog, I want to have my content forever (or something close to that). As I teach my students research strategies and the nature of the web, I must remember to discuss the issue of impermanence and what it means for users and for them, in particular.
