RELATED TO MY ENGLISH RESEARCH: It is not difficult to observe the ubiquity of "Internet Addiction" as a phenomenon and/or accepted part of every day life in the Digital Age. Much less mentioned is the even more pervasive "cell phone addiction", "Crackberry addiction", "gaming addiction", or "texting addiction".

It is not difficult to observe the ubiquity of "Internet Addiction" as a phenomenon and/or accepted part of every day life in the Digital Age. Much less mentioned is the even more pervasive "cell phone addiction", "Crackberry addiction", "gaming addiction", or "texting addiction". Are we now at risk of seeing a vast presentation - a cultural commonality - of "Facebook Addiction Disorder"? (Or is sometimes FAD just a fad?) :-)

The present study investigates identity construction on Facebook, a newly emerged nonymous online environment. Based on content analysis of 63 Facebook accounts, we find that the identities produced in this nonymous environment differ from those constructed in the anonymous online environments previously reported. Facebook users predominantly claim their identities implicitly rather than explicitly; they "show rather than tell" and stress group and consumer identities over personally narrated ones. The characteristics of such identities are described and the implications of this finding are discussed.

Identity construction on Facebook: Digital empowerment in anchored relationships Early research on online self-presentation mostly focused on identity constructions in anonymous online environments. Such studies found that individuals tended to engage in role-play games and anti-normative behaviors in the online world.

Quote from Introduction, "While teenage conflict is nothing new, today's gossip, jokes, and arguments often play out through social media like Formspring, Twitter, and Facebook.

Interesting site discussing cyberbullying, how to stop it, much more information to learn about how it works and how common it is.

The Cyberbullying Research Center is dedicated to providing up-to-date information about the nature, extent, causes, and consequences of cyberbullying among adolescents. Cyberbullying can be defined as "willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices."

We all know that teen bullying - both online and offline - has devastating consequences.

I found that this video could be directly related back to the concept of using your "exterior brain" Crowd-sourcing is the act of giving a task to an outside group of people...such as Wikipedia. It thinks for you!

"With web 2.0, we've embarced the idea that people are going to share pictures of their cats, and now we build sophisticated tools to make that easier to do. as a result, we're creating a wealth of tech that's extremely helpful for activists. There are twin revolutions going on - the ease of creating content and the ease of sharing it with local and global audiences."

This entire website, HASTAC, is pretty interesting. Lots of resources related to teaching and digital media
