The portion of The Facebook Effect that I read for work were very good. I really didn't know that much about Zuckerberg or really even how it started....I just knew that it was college chums who wanted to stay in contact. I was never an adopter of MySpace and I joined Facebook with a blank page that remained that way for an entire year before someone showed me the ropes and now I check it more than e-mail. Just made a page for the S.O.S. group at BSU. (Student's Offering Support) A group of current, pre and post doc students in Adult, Higher and Community Ed who get together to casually reflect, share, applaud and support each other through the journey to the EdD. It's great to hear, first hand, how someone made it work with a full time job, or a new baby or a sick spouse or loved one or how they dealt with challenging faculty or family who don't offer support or just the grueling task of the degree. We are having such difficulty meeting this year that I thought "Let's try virtual." If it doesn't have the same feel....or accomplish it's intended purpose, we'll have to try harder to make the physical space and face time work.
It finally happened that one reading assignment in one class also applied to the same thing in another. Finally, this is great....
