    Sunday Review opinion piece from the NY Times that questions how much our use of media may or may not lead to "connecting" with others. Is technology keeping us from learning how to carry on a conversation? How to interact with human beings in-person? How much is one's self-curated (and self-edited) identity representative of the total package that is the self?

    Interesting forum. Obviously the focus is on pedagogy; however, the discussion is highly situational and lacks the necessary theoretical underpinnings of ethical principles. There seems to be a strong focus on issues of privacy and surveillance but not as much on the actual ethical implications of what it means to use digital tools in the classroom.

    Yes...a morphing of "ethics" and "privacy" appears to be the dominant discourse at the moment (here and elsewhere). While they are not the same things, there does appear to be an anxiety about the "boundaries" around privacy in pedagogical situations that manifest in the unfurling of ethical flags...but what are the other ethical implications of using digital tools in the classroom (or pedagogically, more broadly)? conversely, what are ethical implications for NOT doing so?

digital media media boundaries social media day1

  • Before beginning I think it is important to note that I am not against social media; I have a facebook, twitter, and a very inactive myspace (I can’t figure out how to delete!). I am an avid status writer, photo poster, and occasional procrastinator who thinks it may be time to rethink my social engagement

      what kinds of "boundaries" are embedded in this paragraph? around "social", modes, portals, platforms?
  • There seems to be nothing I want to know and feel privy to that isn’t already broadcasted over the internet. In my case this over-divulging of information is equally true.
  • The same is true for any physical relationship yet in the digital world there is no buffer. Where I can tell my friend in person how far I am want a conversation to go, online activity is done with only one person in mind: the sender.

      universally and always 'true'?

  • However, online parting physically can be replaced with keeping tabs on people digitally. This behavior in particular can feed energy into thought life, behavior, and speech that needs to altogether be moved past.

      "boundaries" extending across physical/electronic spaces...thoughts here?

    There is no question that we should all evaluate our social interactions online, but it is interesting that we now have to reconsider how to censor ourselves and our "friends" in online environments as if those digital messages represented the same type of interaction as if we were face-to-face. We have given this type of communication the same status, but are they really? Or do we need to develop a different sort of etiquette?
