Oct 22, 2009: ECCTYC Presentation on Facebook

In collaboration with Danielle Fouquette (Fullerton College) and Brian McCabe (Claremont Graduate University), I presented "Facebook and the Classroom: Productive Identities and Social Bonding in Nonymous Online Environments" at ECCTYC 2009. Description Social networking websites have become an increasingly central feature of the landscape of college students’ social lives. This prompts questions about potential applications for this form of community within the academic community we foster in our classes and on campus. Our presentation uses Facebook.com as a case study, exploring how FB communication among and between students, teachers, and other campus personnel shapes dynamics in the classroom and beyond.

Mark, this was a provocative discussion. I suppose as devil's advocate I would be less enthusiastic about some of the points you made, such as the reconceptualizing of knowledge. I think of the Atlantic Monthly cover article a few months back with the lovely title "Is Google Making Us Stoopid?"

Perhaps in the panel in June this might be what I should be doing: asking the philosopher's questions about the implications of Web 2.0.

WOWZERS, James's brother...
