  • The key is finding a way to take advantage of the learning opportunities social media provides while striking the proper balance between protecting kids and preserving professional boundaries and First Amendment rights.
  • “teachers should not post things that are private and confidential about a student.”

      common sense? legal/ethical boundaries?

      may not be common sense if an individual doesn't realize their message is public. For example, if I think i'm sending a private message on Facebook to an individual who legally/ethically should be the recipient, and it ends up on their public wall, that may be a misunderstanding of how Facebook works. The message composer understands that the message is supposed to be private (whether it be by common sense or professional training), but doesn't understand how the communicative transmission works ... 
  • Kids don’t need to see my backyard, or know what I say to my wife over dinner. When I have fun with friends and family, that’s a different me, and it’s important that I make that distinction,” he explains. “Being a professional means that I project the values of my profession and my employer when communicating with students.”

      everyone uses social differently. some individuals may not post this type of information. others may post it and don't mind who reads it. others could feel that their facebook profile has a specific type of information on it that should only be available to certain people.  Even if this individual is a professional that projects the values of the profession and employer when communicating with students, that doesn't mean that the individual cannot post such communications on a (semi)public forum like a Facebook page.

      multiple kinds of "boundary considerations" here....
  • Teachers should have separate sites – one for work and one for personal use and the two should never cross paths.”

    From the website:  "LibraryMixer is a free website where lovers of music, movies, TV shows, games, software, books, pictures can list what they have in their libraries. You share your library list with your friends and recommend stuff you like that they can get directly from you. You don't need to upload anything onto LibraryMixer! The best way to learn more about LibraryMixer (besides using it!) is to watch the introduction video or read the text version. https://www.librarymixer.com/info/faq"

    I linked to the Reddit page because it has the beta key. The official website is http://www.librarymixer.com

    In prowling around the site, I'm running up against questions such as "what constitutes 'social' in the current media environment" or "what is 'sharing' all about today?". These are not so much questions of moral import, but more of practice and the "boundaries" around doing things: listening, talking about, exchanging, debating, etc. What does an experiment like LibraryMixer push us to think about here? How's it different from other options (legal or not)? Also, this is an Open Source effort: what are the relationships between "open source" and "social" in regards to media boundaries?

    (I haven't been able to use the program for more than half an hour so far ... a lot of this will probably end up moderately incorrect.) Rather than ripping off music from anonymous users on sketchy p2p networks, or grabbing thousands of fragments from hundreds of nodes to synthesize a final piece of content, LibraryMixer combined with the Mixologist allows for personal interaction and communication about an item. The program and website integrates an instant messenger with a check-out system. The check-out system allows individuals to browse the general library, and select things they have, they want, or that they can review. Based on this information, users communicate with others via the friends list and instant messenger. From here, individuals directly connect with one another to transfer, or 'lend', the desired items. Physical items can be posted on the website too, but they require different methods for loaning items. I don't see any way to determine whether an individual rightfully owns a file they loan to others. I'm also not sure about if the file is copied to the transferee's machine and remains on the original, or is removed from the original machine in the process. However, there must be a direct connection made between the content owner (in whatever sense of the word 'ownership' we mean) and the individual loanee. This direct connection also ensures more privacy during a file transfer than p2p networks and bittorrent. (Unless you don't know the person. This is also exactly how trojan viruses and backdoors would be installed through AIM.) I think a good example of 'open source' in relation to 'social' would be the sheer amount of activity on discussion boards like http://ubuntuforums.org/. The lessons learned in this type of place regarding collaborative problem solving are not only abundant, but also applicable to tasks like coordinating large-scale real-world events

    I've used the website a bit further. It seems that the community infrastructure is there for a helpful, friendly, personal community. This is entirely unlike anonymous discussion boards where people love to put on the ring of Gyges and succumb to ... well, I don't have any friends on the website yet so I can't really tell. Again, seems like solid community infrastructure in comparison to a site like bt.etree.org or demonoid.

    Richard Prince is an art world superstar. His paintings sell for millions, and many hang in the world's great museums. But one recent series of works cannot be shown in public - at least, not lawfully. Last year, a judge found Prince liable for copyright infringement for using the photographs of another artist without permission. A federal court in New York is set to hear Prince's appeal Monday, and the outcome of that appeal could have major implications for the art world and beyond.
