Today, we discussed how to create an effective assessment of a source. You also worked in groups to discuss and assess articles about technology and privacy (from Mauk and Metz). We did quite a few blog posts on assessing, commenting and finally your opinion about technology. For next week, do the following assignment to help us move forward on this research project.
To help define a social network, see our Wikipedia entry
Social networkingsocial networking services:
Due Monday by 5pm to your blog:Choose
one of the following social networking services:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- MySpace
- Aim
- YouTube
- LinkedIn
Write an assessment of this tool and post it onto your blog. This type of assessment requires deeper investigation than assessing an article. For this reason, include the following in your assessment:
- note details about the entire site & describe briefly
- assess how it is used
- assess who uses it (based on the other users)
- assess what it represents to the users
- assess if it's useful or not (and answer the why or why not)
- assess if private information about a user is apparent
This is the real start to our project, so I expect that this post will be longer than most of your others.
