My SNS
I know that I need to be starting on my ethnography of my SNS so I thought I would read up on what that entails. I see that I must know the culture well enough by friends actually participating in the daily life and exchanges with the natives. I have been in the Facebook culture since this time last year and but I have only participated in the adding of I and in conversations. I have not participated in any of the group activities or the invitations to join a group or take a dare. I felt that I should not have that type of interaction with my students. Now, I see that that decision was a huge mistake because now I need to know how the different groups work and how they affect one another. I see that I am going to have to change the way I navigate in this culture so I can study it.
I have also joined Twitter but it is growing ever so slowly. I have thought very seriously about joining MySpace since my children have it an many of my students also have it. We will see….



Be careful not to get spread so thin that you can’t participate.

I see how that could happen. I am spread a bit thin as it is. I will most likely not do any other SNS since I have trouble keeping up with all I have to do at this time. Thanks senor.
