Homework for Thursday, 2/18

Read the excerpt from Sherry Turkle's Life on the Screen (below on the readings list). Find one online community (this can be a blog or a discussion board) that you might be interested in observing - it can be related to a topic that interests you.

Start thinking about your topic area for Core 2 - on Thursday we will be talking about discourse communities and beginning to discuss research questions.

Edit: For the Turkle reading, I couldn't find the book! So instead, I found this article:

Cognition and Learning in Massively Multiplayer Online Games by Constance A. Steinjehler. Read pages 1-6 for background, then 14-23.
