Our primary source of knowledge for this workshop is your stories about digital identity. Not your academic writings, or well-observed insights: those, we hope, will come later. First, we're asking you to contribute a small story in which you are the main charecter (or at least a first-hand witness), and which you believe illuminates an interesting aspect, or dilemma, of digital identity.

With ConnectYard you can: - Bring along your Facebook identity and friends - Find students in your classes that share mutual friends - Share materials and calendars with your study groups - Receive notifications via Facebook and text message - Setup real-time whiteboards and group conference calls
