Thumbs up: I’m loving the direct messages from Twitter! Recently, I have received a handful of direct messages from folks that I have started to follow (thank you). What a wonderful way to thank people for following you, further enforce the online relationship, and promote the other aspects of your virtual presence.

Now, how do you define “media literacy?”
The definition, and our associated opinions, no doubt vary widely, based on our own experiences, knowledge and prejudices:
Specifically what kind of literacy is being measured? Let’s see the effect on SAT reading and writing scores. Let’s see book sales data demographically.

How do you define [your] space - public v. private, physical v. virtual? This is something that I’m continually pondering as I reassess my involvement in various physical and virtual communities. There is only so much time in a day, and I strive to ensure that my participation is intentional and focused. There are public [...]
The one class I’m taking this semester is managerial accounting. While I wasn’t so much a fan of financial accounting I found it an invaluable source of knowledge.

Excerpt from danah boyd’s post:

It’s ironic that a lot of the people who tout the principles of Web 2.0 have a tendency to forget one of the basic tenants…The power shift from companies to [...]
I promised myself that today would be a “get a jump on Christmas shopping, clean the apartment and study for my accounting final” kind of day. Therefore hours at my computer and blogging was not necessarily intended to be in the picture. However, I simply couldn’t resist sharing this interesting (and entertainingly written) article. Enjoy.

I’ve been trying to put a finger on my perpetual gravitation towards Facebook. It’s starting to feel a bit like a “bug drawn to light” route - and my intent is not to continue bullying this particular tool. But I think I’ve finally figured it out. Facebook provides context for a multitude of issues that’s [...]
