Social Networking and Young Children
by Jason Nolan 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Thanks for that site, Danah. I'm wondering if anyone's working on the topic of or knows anything about Social Networking and young children. I mean under the age of 8-10, in this case. I have found some sites (I'm writing on Anme's Diary at the moment), but there are obviously not a lot of them. I'd like to hear from anyone who's interested in this area.

Re: [Air-L] Air-L Digest, Vol 49, Issue 22

Large unanswered social issues aside, I'd be wary of requiring/compelling students to knowingly break the Terms of Service of any company. Creating an account with fake information, pooled passwords, or a group account is directly addressed in the TOS at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/terms.php I know it's a simplistic POV, but if you can't subvert TOS, established policies and assumptions in an educational context for an educational purpose, then where can you? Isn't it also at college people should be taught to be wary of Big Brother? Bruno

Friends, When visiting the cathedral, be sure to visit the burial vault of the Danish royal family. And next door, the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art.

Accommodations in Copenhagen
by Rhiannon Bury 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

I thought I'd send my message to the list in case others have similar questions. Can the local folks in Copenhagen say more about the location of the hotels listed in terms of their proximity to the University (eg, how many minutes walk, ease of transit etc). When I try to get more information from the websites, it comes up in Danish. :) Also, the Copenhagen City Centre hostel is mentioned but on their website, they name two in English: Copenhagen Downtown and Copenhagen City. Which one is it? Again the main page is in English but the details seem to be only in Danish. Thanks. Rhiannon Bury

question about use of Facebook in classroom
by Stephanie Tuszynski 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Hello all- I'm teaching an "intro to advertising" class this fall and I was considering using Facebook in class to talk about targeted ads. A few weeks ago I was reading a discussion about the rather unpleasant weight loss ads that seem to pop up to anyone identifying as female on FB and I switched my profile to have an unspecified gender and made my age something like 99 years old to see what happened. What I want to do is have the students make notes for a couple weeks on what ads they were getting on FB and then have them replicate the same thing - change gender and age status and see what happens for the next couple weeks, then we'll compare the data in class to talk about what kinds of ads are targeted to who, etc. I am NOT requiring students to get a FB account for the class. Those who don't have one would collect the information provided by those who do and do some analysis. Also this is not research, it's a course exercise, so HSRB isn't a factor. But still, I wanted to run this concept by the people who deal with these kinds of exercises and have spent more time thinking about the ethics of this kind of thing than I or any of my colleagues. Does this sound acceptable, from an ethical standpoint? Dr. Stephanie Tuszynski Assistant Professor of Communication Bethany College

to subvert or not...
by KMV 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Since a few people have said we should not subvert TOS agreements, I wonder if we all agree on that and for what reasons. So, why shouldn't we subvert a TOS agreement? *Ducks* -- Kim De Vries http://else-if-then.blogspot.com

Re: [Air-L] question about use of Facebook in classroom (Julie Cohen)
by andrea baker 21 Aug '08

Paul, I wonder, did the students not mention Facebook as a place to do their class assignments because they didn't want to disturb their "real life" social networks? Would you ask them about how they happened to leave it out of the options? I'd like to know more. Thanks, andee Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:11:04 -0400 (EDT) From: Paul Jones <pjones(a)metalab.unc.edu> I support Fred and Trel in saying that you need not and should not subvert policies especially since you can move to another fairly easily. As OpenSocial (okay IF then if you like), takes off this will be even easier. On FB vs Ning. I had the students in our seminar vote on how and where to do assignments. They asked me for options at first so I supplied 3 but encouraged them to introduce others. My suggested options included: posting to delicious, oral book reports, and adding questions for class on a wiki. Someone suggested using Ning and I showed a site to the class. In the voting, still underway on Doodle, everyone has voted for using Ning. Facebook? It wasn't even mentioned. (I found that particularly interesting as I asked who of the class was on FB and everyone -- save a visiting Korean scholar -- raised their hands.)
