    This "Facebook" timeline shows the history of the world through status updates and posts. I plan to use some of these posts when I teach about historical events!
  • Amanda Boehm on 09 Feb 13
     
    I thought this was a very creative, entertaining way to interpret historical events. I can see it being used to get a very, very general idea of what happened in our history. However, if I were a parent, I do not think I would appreciate this being used as a teaching device. I scanned through the WWI and WWII section and wasn't fond of the way the information was presented. The formatting made the wars seem less serious than they were. But I suppose this project was meant to be amusing. I thought it was much more successful to explain other events; for example, when Earth joins the solar system after the Big Bang, meets atmosphere, and is "in a relationship" with water.

    This article brings up many topics about our current social media use like whether or not it brings people together or keeps them apart. The article discusses how people used to be and are now (people are living more solitary lives, gathering less, meeting less people, and feeling like they have no one to talk to). It also includes many statistics and examples to analyse the effects of Facebook on today's society.

    I never thought I would take a class where I would be encouraged to be on various social media sites. Now I guess it is even possible to major in social media! It looks like we've come a long way from our high school teachers snatching our cell phones in the hallways.
