How I see the web

My idea of the webSo #netnarr people this is me with my laptop in Latvia, my current home until my husband (or the army) decides it's time to go somewhere else. I use the internet to regularly talk to my children, parents and friends. These are the relationships that keep me sane and allow me to just say, "Sure honey, I'll just pack up and we'll go." (Not that I don't get upset with the moves but hey that's life!) […]

How my FBI agent probably looks most of the time~ I’ve missed you over the shutdown T_T Anyway…. I’m back and better than ever. Hope you haven’t missed me too much I’ll try to make up for lost time and get right into the snarky commentary~ Big Brother is Watching You “How do we know who, what to trust online anymore?…What keeps you up at night or worried about your own internet activity?” I see we’re starting off light this semester.

Profile Picture for Karen Young Karen Young on

This week was my first soiree into the world of digital alchemy and I must say...I'm intrigued. I had heard other students, and my professors, mention #netnarr before, but at that time it was nothing more than word I didn't know. It sounded fancy and intimidating...and it is! BUT, it is also exciting!I am currently typing this as I work my way through the labryinth, bravely preparing to face any minotaurs that come way, and although I am no Theseus, […]

Time Magazine: Data, Privacy, Politics and the Mess We Are In

Profile Picture for dogtrax dogtrax on

I don’t know if others get Time magazine (do people still get magazines?) but I get a free copy because I use the Time for Kids version with my students. Last week’s issue still resonates with me, particularly as Networked Narratives opens with a theme of critical lens on technology and society. The cover story is by Roger McNamee, who was an early investor in Facebook and whose presence during the early years helped shape what Facebook was to become. […]

One of the first assignments is to use Kevin Kelly’s Internet Map project. I did this recently with my sixth grade students, so I will feature their artwork here. Peace (into the ahead), Kevin
