Round three presentations

Mark Nelson
Online Enabled Environmental Activism

Cyberspace and online communities are two of the most important tools in saving the environment….

Do you have examples of how current activism is changing the way that people are saving the environment?

While the Internet allows more communication for environmental issues, how are people using this information to change the way that we affect the environment?

I don’t think that the activism online is eliminating the need for other media’s…???

Great use of EcoSnoop!!!! Is there ramifications for institutions that are being reported?

Look at Clay Shirky’s book “Here Comes Everybody” when you’re talking about the “cost” or lack of “cost” of publishing information on the Internet…there is some great rhetoric regarding this issue that I think you would find very helpful.



Sarah
Presenting yourself differently in cyberspace..

People who use virtual environments present themselves much differently than in meatspace….You make it sound that everyone presents themselves differently…Can you really support that argument or how are you going to support that argument?

Good use regarding James situation….It gives some relevance to what you’re trying to present….

Do you have more examples…. An empirical study perhaps involving participants who gave information that would suggest what your argument is trying to present???

I think that your paper is very interesting and has a lot of potential to be really well written.

You bring up Chatroullete as an example where people “don’t care??” As more people are becoming trolls and are putting up fake content (“videos of others” and not a representation of themselves) how does this change the way that people interact or react when using a site like this?



Cassie Lane
Social Networking Sites in the Classroom

It’s great that you use WoogiWorld and a Really Different Place to support your argument, but I’m a little uncertain as to what your specific argument is??? Are you saying that these sites are necessary to learn? What is the opposite side of your “argument”?

How do you support that Facebook could be more beneficial for younger students? Can you support what you're saying with an empirical study or information from scholarly resources?

I thought your rhetoric concerning students using this technology in order to “grow” in an online environment as a necessary tool for their futures was spot on. Do you have any examples of how the use of these environments has made an impact in meatspace? I feel that if you had examples it would strengthen your argument.
