I am a student in the College Teaching program at Mason and also teach there. I am trying to develope innovative uses of technology to enhance student interest in learning that can be used in distance and and F2F classes.

Yes, you're right there isn't a discussion yet, I've just set up the front page, and haven't started any discussions. I'm new to this stuff, so bear with my fumbles!
I'm enthusiastic with what I've played with - I've given a brief demo of the concepts and the program to my senior college students who seemed interested; I'm about to give a demo to our school staff, and I intend to install at least one lab's worth of it to put it through its paces in a class context. (And it's an Australian piece of software, but who'd be parochial!)
In short - I think it looks good, but I haven't really pressed it into service. (And it appears simple to use, unlike the free/open source platforms - of which there are many - see the critical thinking skills wiki page here.)
Hi Edith,
Nice to read your comments. If you are interested I like to know what you think of the usefulness of Rationale - argument mapping software. It seems to me to provide a great framework for visualising argument and help develop critical thinking skills (http://www.classroom20wiki.com/CriticalThinkingSkills).
Anyway - welcome!

Hi Edith, looks like you are new here too. This place is pretty quiet. How did you come to Classroom 2.0?

Well, certainly somewhere along the ESL line... :-)) Maybe college 2.0
I can't tell; your name sounds very familiar, but without a photo I really can't tell...
