I was mildly<br \/>\nbored with the idea of reading about Facebook. Next, pose as if <i>critical<\/i>.<br \/>\nNext, rehearse the cautions about visibility and decorum. Thorny! It&#8217;s a fairly<br \/>\nreliable pattern that when I&#8217;m bored, my students are doubly bored. And<br \/>\nso.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>By involving <a href=\"http:\/\/gliffy.com\/\">Gliffy<\/a> (Draw and share diagrams<br \/>\non the web), we prefaced the conversation about Facebook by mapping ourselves as<br \/>\na network, first assembling into small clusters of three or four and then by <i><br \/>\nresearching<\/i> ties that would connect each person within a cluster and then<br \/>\neach cluster to another. Gliffy did the trick. I could easily start<br \/>\na file (one for each group) and then invite collaborators. Each<br \/>\ncollaborator received an email with a temporary password. Once logged in,<br \/>\neach collaborator was able to draw and rearrange elements on the canvas.<br \/>\nSaving the file swiftly captures that iteration of the glyph and adds it to<br \/>\nrunning list of versions for all to see (enabling restorations of earlier<br \/>\nversions as well). It&#8217;s especially suited to collaborative diagramming,<br \/>\nactivities like composing a network map or chart. <\/p>\n<p>At first this meant that students had to spend time (re)learning names of<br \/>\npeers and looking over their Facebook profiles for link-worthy criteria.<br \/>\nThis stage was only loosely defined; the one caveat was that students should try<br \/>\nto avoid obvious ties (direct friends; live in N.Y.; taking WRT302). Dig around,<br \/>\nprefer the non-obvious, and make use of degrees of separation as needed. In<br \/>\ntwenty-five minutes, each of the clusters of students was finished with the<br \/>\nfirst phase. Gliffy includes one-click publishing to the web, so the groups were<br \/>\nable to publish, then drop the links to their network diagrams into the class&#8217;s<br \/>\ndel.icio.us account for simplified sharing. Everyone could then see the<br \/>\nwork performed by other groups.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m blogging this mainly to record (for an eventual return) that this might<br \/>\nserve well as an ice breaker (if, that is, the ice <i>must<\/i> be broken)<br \/>\nprovided everyone has a Facebook account. For those who don&#8217;t, however,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s still possible for them to suggest a basis for links to others, and<br \/>\nestablishing those links generates a lot of other conversation. More<br \/>\nimportantly, when we finally turned to our discussion of Facebook, it made far<br \/>\nmore sense to approach it as a network phenomenon, and as such, we could deal<br \/>\nwith the strength of ties (what warrants a thick line? a thin line?), centrality<br \/>\n(who was easiest to connect to?), dynamic relations, and structural holes as<br \/>\nconcepts applicable to a broad assortment of domains and beyond the most facile<br \/>\nuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>The week&#8217;s quasi-experiment in WRT302 blended Facebook and Gliffy.
