Straddling online and offline profiles, millennials search for identity | Deseret News - 0 views

  • “You know the person your going to meet is somewhere close in the building preparing for you, maybe by looking you up on Facebook or Googling your name, possibly reading an embarrassing entry about you on your mom's blog or being surprised to not find you on LinkedIn,” said Hanaike.
  • “I can't just be myself where and when I want because anything I do has the potential to end up on some site somewhere where anyone can look at it and judge. I feel like I need to water down who I am.”

Online Dating: Harder to Find Future Spouse on Internet? | Healthland | TIME.com - 0 views

  • Digital dating is now the second most common way that couples get together, after meeting through friends.
  • Once potential partners meet, in other words, other characteristics take precedence over the ones they thought were important.
  • the best prognosticators of how people will get along come from the encounters between them. In other words, it’s hard to tell whether Jim and Sue will be happy together simply by comparing a list of their preferences, perspectives and personality traits before they meet. Stronger predictors of possible romance include the tenor of their conversations, the subject of their discussions, or what they choose to do together.

  • the sheer number of candidates that some sites provide their love-seeking singles — which can range from dozens to hundreds — can actually undermine the process of finding a suitable mate. The fact that candidates are screened via their profiles already sets up a judgmental, “shopping” mentality that can lead people to objectify their potential partners.
  • “Online dating sites have a vested interest in your failure. If you succeed, the site loses two paying customers.”
  • A few weeks of email and photo exchanging serves to enhance people’s attraction when they finally meet, researchers found, but when the correspondence goes on too long — for six weeks — it skews people’s expectations and ends up lowering their attraction upon meeting.

    Exactly what it sounds like. Plus it was named "Best resource sharing blog" in 2008 by Edublog, so apparently it's pretty cool.
  •  
    I found this blog under the list of Edublog award winners and thought it was really interesting. It has posts everyday for new ideas for using technology in the classroom. For example, for today there is a post about Gapminder, a type of graphing technology that can be used for lesson plans, quizes, and animations. I also really like this blog because it gives links to each application and then has a whole section on how it can be realistically applied in the classroom.

    Unfortunately we won't always have access to BYU's amazing resources. This blog gives ideas for ways to use technology in the classroom free of charge! Woohoo!
