Facebook and Cyberbullying

Finally catching up after dealing with some personal matters the last couple of weeks. You should, at this point, be working on your research projects and should be planning the Prezi that will accompany it.

The questions about Facebook privacy and cyberbullying have been an ongoing theme this semester, and I have been especially interested in the practices of either liking or not liking anything for a specific duration (one week or whatever). I'm unsure what effects these experiments have, but they speak to some of our wider desires to have more control over the social media that we use. When you write your post, pick 1-2 articles and respond to any of the questions you see fit.

Next week, we will talk about recording and sharing podcasts. As part of your final project, I would like you to record and share a podcast or video to accompany your Prezi. If you do an audio podcast, you can tell me when to click through to the next "slide." On YouTube, you can come up with your own method for progressing through the slides. I will discuss next week how to make a YouTube video "unlisted," and will provide you some instructions for recording podcasts, although I haven't looked for private hosting sources, so I'm unsure whether that option is available.
