Thought from discussion – second self online
Discussion early this class was captivating, particularly Jade’s and Kathryn’s research interest in informal learning and social networking. Yes! myspace, facebook, youtube, and all that. I came across many interesting stories about selves on the Internet and would like to share with you guys here:Lonelygirl15: Imagine a good looking fifteen-year-old girl with very strict parents shares her personal story online. She was a phenomenon on youtube until she came out and revealed that it was just a video project of three young filmmakers and that she is actually nineteen. http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?type=28&id=1540927
Wine Kone: seems like people now make a head shot video of themselves. Wine Kone is one of them. He made a good comment about myspace and this young generation. Check out his yourspace(s) video: http://www.youtube.com/profile_video_blog?id=395531A1FC178154
Post Secret: If I am not mistaken, I saw this story from current.tv. The guy started collecting postcard from around the world, from people who want to share their secret. http://postsecret.blogspot.com
Weird Al: last but not least, weird Al. Listen to his songs just for fun. http://www.myspace.com/weirdal

Hi Vasa,
Thanks for your comments and links. I was looking more and more into what I want to cover in my literature review, and it seems to be going to higher education and the concept of lifelong learning. I am also looking at how this concept is expressed to students and how students know that this is important. For the most part, the papers that I have been reading have said that students are interested in the formal (class assignments), nonformal (professional/personal development) and the informal (social networking) parts of lifelong learning.
