hello group
anybody know of a good online identity piece for a 400-level class? 20-25 pages? recent?
I like some of Turkle's chapters for this, but they're so old they talk about MUDs and such and instead of having the students focus on online identity issues they end up rejecting the entire thing because they don't understand what a MUD is and it is very foreign to their online experience
so if there was something more recent...
something like "here is identity.... here is how online identity can be different and why" (so yeah sort of intro) but academic!
(yes, I'm building syllabi...)
oh, and something about facebook they all know what it is (all the freshman at Albion had accounts within the first two weeks of school!) but something that put an academic spin on it looks at it through the lens of THEORY!!!! something like that...
thanks
I hope everyone's end of term went well (or is continuing to do so)
^_^ ndp...
