Yeah well, it all looks pretty exciting and exposed. facebook links connections which is good But it also poses a threat, politically- if the government wants to incriminate a person.
It is exposure, so it has to have two sides.I read also in the educause Pdf that the “seemingly endless web of connections – pose a risk for never-ending wandering,seeing who knows who, who likes what, and how it all fits together, with no particular goal in mind.”
That’s the problem- all this cyber flying wastes a lot of valuable time of your life and time 4 relationships.
What of the future? Educators are looking at it from the ‘creative’ side- expression, communication, learning etc.. Students would become multiskilled at relaying different styles of personalities…facebook is potentially creative, somewhat scarey too..develops a new state of mind perhaps??
My kids helped me develop a my space. It’s a lovely 3-D interface. 13 yr old daughter very fast at it. I couldn’t get rid of my birthday on the front page, so I don’t like it now. Teaching?? I’m not sure where it fits yet.
