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.
Wikipedia is one of the most "educating" websites out there that people know about. The information on this website can not be trusted because anyone can add information to an article. This website is, in my view, Semi-Democratic because although users may post up information about an article, if it is constantly debated it becomes censored. It reminds of our government and the way the censor the media to show us what they want and not the truth.
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.
