From Concept to Classroom

August 17, 2007

Iqvmi
I learn so much from the blogs I read. One of my favorites is written by Jennifer Dorman. She posts regularly about teaching and technology, and she finds the best links to research. This morning I found myself reading about the brain and then discovering all kinds of teaching resources here. Go visit and spend some time at New York’s PBS website. Please.

Facebook vs MySpace

August 13, 2007

A recent Newsweek article describes research by Danah Boyd of the Berkeley School of Information, and quotes her description of who goes where:

A few weeks ago, Boyd—who has done extensive ethnographic work on
online behavior, blog-posted an essay tentatively sharing her
(admittedly nonscientific) findings after months of interviews, field
observations and profile analysis. Generally, she contended, "The
goodie two shoes, jocks, athletes and other ‘good’ kids are now going
to Facebook. These kids tend to come from families who emphasize
education and going to college." MySpace is still home for "kids whose
parents didn’t go to college, who are expected to get a job when they
finish high school."

She writes later,  "The division around MySpace and Facebook is just another way in which technology is mirroring societal values."

Something to talk about this fall….
