Hello group!

Hey guys! I found an interesting article from The Washington Post. It supports the side that we share too much...Do we share too much on facebook - twitter?! -Kim

media type="youtube" key="JqZ7B9zmP2g" height="345" width="560" I thought that this could be an interesting topic that we could get into a discussion about. Kelsey

I like the video Kelsey. I think it would be a good idea if everyone posted their class and work schedule so we can find a time to meet outside of class to work on the project. :) Mon- 12-12:50, 3-3:50, 6-9 Tues- 9:30-10:45, 2:30-3:45 Wed- (work 7am-11:30) 12-12:50, 3-3:50 TR- 9:30-10:45, 2:30-3:45 (work 5-8) Fri- 12-12:50, 3-3:50 -Kim

HEY EVERYBODY: i think everyone needs to be friends with Betty - that way we can write her as her students and that can create another issue we can discuss. I am already her friend so if you find me - you can get to her. My username on facebook is Kelsey Arnold (Kel Sea) thanks.

I'm friends with Betty! Here's an article about how sharing a photo on Facebook/blogs/Twitter helped spread and inspire revolutionaries in Libya's teen revolution movement:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2011/09/13/140403572/a-teenagers-photo-that-helped-inspire-libyas-revolt; it's definitely a pro/positive to "oversharing"

Yet here a commentator says Twitter's positive effects on the Egyptian protests/revolution has been overstated and has even distorted the real truth: http://www.npr.org/2011/08/12/139570720/twitter-created-echo-chamber-during-egyptian-protests.

I think it's important for us to do like Kim said and show some positives/negatives to social media.

I think our next step is to sort through all our information and put it all together in one cohesive class discussion; we can finalize/edit our Betty Smith page too!! -Maggie

Proposed Schedule/ Plan:

-Play Telephone!!! Gets everyone involved; don't tell reason for playing game. -Present a few facts. -Open up to discussion: Why did we play Telephone? How does it relate to "oversharing"? -Discuss pros/cons/ elements of oversharing --Have everyone log onto facebook and present our artifact---Betty Smith. Discuss/ search for "errors." -Maggie
