Hi everyone, I am putting together a syllabus on technology and work. I'm hoping to have student problematize their use of technology by conceiving of their roles as students as "workers" in a sense. I would like them to make use of technology in the course but I would also like them to reflect upon this use. One of the ways I hope to do this is to turn the tables on them, in a sense, by showing how their use of technologies (especially mobile technologies) makes them "always on" as individuals. This, hopefully, will also show the impact of them emailing me! Has anyone done anything like this? I'm thinking of using Twitter for this, or perhaps some other sms-based system. And please! Share criticisms now before I blow up the entire semester with unintended consequences! thanks -s. -- ~~~~~ Sam Ladner, PhD Sociologist Toronto
