Burke Reflection

Smart users of social networking software need to have skills to prioritize information. They need to be able to identify the important items to click on for a given task. Students also need to be able to write in effective, short blurbs. They need to be able to understand idioms and figurative language. Symbolic language ;) More than anything else, I think that students need to understand the ethical issues involved in social networking. The scary thing about the internet is that you can get a lot of courage to say something that maybe you wouldn’t ordinarily say because you will never see the other person’s reactions. It is very important that students acquire the skill of ethical judgment. Students need to consider whether what they are putting out in cyberspace accurately represents who they are and how they respond to people.
