Campfires in Cyberspace: Primordial Metaphors for Learning in the 21st Century by David Thornburg PDF Article

Assignment

We have read and discussed Thornburg's Campfires in Cyberspace article. This forum assignment is to be completed in two chunks:

Chunk #1: Answer these questions as you reflect on the campfire, the watering hole, and the cave. Post your response to the COE forum under the 'Thornburg follow-up' thread.
  • Which is your favorite 'space' among the three?
  • Click here to take survey
  • When would you want to engage in which space?
  • Do you approach each space (whether consciously or unconsciously) differently?
  • Keeping in mind your own 'favorite space', describe how you might utilize a 'social networking' site such as Blogger (or MySpace, Ryze, Tribe, LinkedIn, Friendster, Spoke, or Visible Path) in your locus of control.

Chunk #2: Read through two other persons' responses and respond to each of them after reflecting on their post. Post your responses to the COE Forum under the 'Thornburg Follow-up' thread.
