Welcome to CyberCommunities, our class blog that explores various digital neighborhoods. Each week 2-3 people will post articles about their community, which will form the basis for class discussion.
Welcome to Unit 2 of Cyber 110! In this unit each of you will explore a Digital Neighborhood and write a research paper about your findings. This unit will require you to familiarize yourself with your online community by taking part in its activities; research articles that discuss the history of your community or its social impacts; and share the information you find with the class.
For each class 2-3 people will lead class discussions about their communities. If you are presenting on a Tuesday, you should post a link to your article on this blog by Saturday at noon. If you are presenting on a Thursday, you should post a link to your article by Tuesday at midnight. Everyone in the class will be required to read your article for discussion. Please find articles that are informative and in-depth. They should be approximately 5-20 pages in length.
After the class discusses your article, you have until noon the next day to post a summary/analysis of the class discussion and/or article. Everyone in the class is required to comment on at least two posts per week.
Good luck!
New Addition: After class discussion, you have 24 hours to submit your descriptive post. All other students can submit their comments until the start of the following class.
