    I now have it in my mind to create something like this for information literacy! Perhaps using screencasting and having students make critical choices in a sample research process that can then show them the outcomes of various strategies, from topic choice to searching to paraphrasing and writing.

Are We Becoming Our Own Puppetmasters? « emergent by design - 0 views

  • There is a value to this. We have a mix of real friends, people pulled up from the past, and new connections. Many fall into the category of ‘weak ties,’ becoming part of your ambient awareness, monitored somewhere at the periphery of your consciousness. We form digital social bonds through our behaviors and interactions, and there’s a feeling of being part of something substantial. It seems to fulfill some basic human needs of inclusion and validation.
  • That means that tomorrow I can choose to be different from today, to make an unexpected decision, or to change my mind completely. I am not one thing. I am not one identity. I am a system in flux. And so I’m frightened when someone is so quick to say that who they are online is who they are. Reduced to bits.
  • I place value on interacting and sharing, but at what point do we become so intertwined with the upkeep of the persona that we forget how to be fully engaged in the experiences of our physical lives? How strong is the itch to update? Are you in control of your online self? Or is it in control of you?

Using Twitter as an Education Tool - 1 views

  •  
    article from Search Engine Watch

    Here is one idea for using twitter, perhaps in collab with a history or writing or acting faculty member: have students role play people from a specific event (e.g., Watergate from the eyes of several key players) or set of circumstances (e.g., ppl from different backgrounds observing a lynching, etc.). Each student is assigned (or picks) a different "character" and then is responsible for researching that event or issue and or person and to create realistic tweets that they imagine their character might be observing or thinking about during the event or about the issue. You could then also assign a reflective essay for them to think about how the process of emerging themselves in the persona and interacting with the other characters effected their perspective (or just do a simpler assignment where they reflect on their research process).
