I was told about ning by Dr. Stearns. I took a lot of new media classes at UB in my undergrad, and I've been looking for a place with good discussion on digital/media topics.

Thanks!

I guess it just goes to show that "education" is as much about having a place for children to go while adults work as anything that has to do with "knowledge".

I assumed that, due to my past difficulties with Webct, you read my 2nd review on the wiki (I posted it at 5:30 a.m Tues. morning). I am worried, however, that you didn't. I just checked Webct (I have finally gotten through) and didn't find any comments. Let me know if you would still like it posted in Webct, or if the wiki is sufficient. Thanks.

I just wanted to make sure that you recieved my 2nd book review last weekend via e-mail. I can not seem to get it to attach to webct.

Anime probably isn't my thing, but the other two seem interesting--are either a possibility?

At 8:31pm on July 22, 2008, Megan Morrissey-Kelley said…: sorry to bug you again--just wondering if you have any answers re: my inquiry for the 3rd review. i'm getting ready to start...thanks

At 8:28am on July 22, 2008, Megan Morrissey-Kelley said…: Prof. Reid, For my 3rd review i'm hoping to do something a little different. If i use an unassigned book or possibly a work in another medium, do i need to have my source approved beforehand? i like Distraction--i just think as i move towards thoughts on the final paper i want more exposure/exploration of the genre.

At 11:32pm on July 21, 2008, Nicole Brady said…: My messages and posting blogs isn't working again (but comments still is). Everyone else seems to be posting fine. Not sure what my comps problem is....

At 9:31pm on July 21, 2008, Lauren Steates said…: Hi Professor,
I am having trouble adding an attachment in webct. Any suggestions? I e-mailed my 2nd review to you and also put it up on the other site.
Thanks!

At 8:22pm on July 21, 2008, Megan Morrissey-Kelley said…: i just sent you an e-mail, but i was just given a copy of an out of print book--Virtual Girl.

At 8:04pm on July 21, 2008, Megan Morrissey-Kelley said…: For final papers are we relegated to using one of the texts we read in class or can we choose another from the genre?

At 11:08am on July 21, 2008, Rachel Glod said…: Thank you for the extra time for the 2nd review. It was nice to be able to read your comments on the first and game-plan a bit before trying to write the next one.

At 3:46pm on July 18, 2008, Jonathan Wolfe said…: Hi Professor Reid,

How's it going? This whole class has been an interesting experience. I'm not used to getting to know, or not getting to know, people through online interaction. I'm still not comfortable with it, and it feels wierd sharing my thoughts with people who I've never met in person, but I can see both the appeal and potential of taking online classes.

I'm wondering if this is the future of education. Why physically go to school if you can get just as much out of an online experience? With the price of energy going up, virtual education might be a viable solution for many people around the world. And I'm sure the technology will emerge to make the experience as "life like" as possible, as in all of the books we are reading. What kinds of changes
do you see taking place in the educational system as a result of distant learning? Do you think it will eventually replace the physical school? If so, what effects do you think this will have on human behavior? Sorry for the barrage of questions. I'm just curious to know what you think.
