hello everyone :)

Hey

I figured it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abby wants to know if we get a break?

ok so honestly i have no clue how to do this just to put it out there. I've gotten updates in my e mail but i can't find it on here actually

If you look at the lower box on the right hand side of this web page you'll see a box that says "recent activity". That shows you the recent updates that were put on the page. Click on "More activity" at the bottom of the box and you'll be able to see everything that has happened and the day that it happened.

Great journals so far everyone! Keep in mind that you should be referencing the readings when answering prompts. Thanks!

Hi all, check out the collaborative book link for writing your chapter. feel free to add sources there as well, if you like.

Thanks for the info Jesse, and thanks again for taking notes Molly - very helpful.

Good class tonight. I think our experience 'in-world' tonight helped drive the point of "Phronēsis" or "practical wisdom" home, where we can gain principles of action from experiencing the virtual world and applying rational reflection. Maybe some of you can use this in your journal #4. BTW/ everyone should use this time to catch up on their journals and to start on their comparative ethics papers. Email me with questions and submit your dilemmas.

I will be updating the schedule and will try to post an agenda for next week's class soon. Make sure to get a Second Life account, download the browser and send me your name and I'll teleport you to campus. http://secondlife.com/

Best, -r

Thanks Fox for use of your avi.

For my individual paper I would like to cover state internet filtering. I will use a variety of examples ranging from Google and China, to countries censoring citizen searches. Also, I can bring in outside ideas, like the possibility of Facebook being subpoenaed by the court system for their user’s information.

this is a great topic with obvious differences of opinion depending on where you stand. I would choose one though - narrow the topic - to either FB used to subpoena people in court or China's Green Dam censorware system (or other specific aspects of Chinese censorship of the Internet). -r

Hello everyone, I'd like to offer some reflections on last night's class. People are doing a good job engaging with dilemmas, only we need to think about which frameworks we're applying and why (as opposed to applying only one familiar framework). Make sure to review these in Chapter 6 and ask questions whenever you need clarification. This is not easy material to absorb, it has to be worked over in reflection (re-read chapters more than once). As a recap, last night we covered feminist ethics or an ethics of care, virtue ethics, and Confucian ethics - then applied frameworks to dilemmas: ethics in design (Facebook), ethics of government surveillance, and the ethics of cyberbullying or how to ethically address cyberbullying. In an effort not to cyberbully people into adopting Second Life, next week we'll have a hybrid class where some of us will be in-world and others will be in the classroom. For those in-world, you can log in from anywhere you choose, but be prepared to focus on the class and keep shenanigans (flying, floating, etc) to a minimum during our class discussion and save high jinks for the breaks. Everyone should be prepared to present their digital dilemma papers next week. Those in-world practice using the voice features. And the class will have a mic and headphones to interact as well. Additionally, next week we may cover hacking, net neutrality and an array of other topics.

Good class tonight. I am looking forward to your final projects. I'll have a draft of my intro next week and hopefully a mock-up of our PDF publication. If you have any ideas for cover art let me know! Because of Jeff's good idea of engaging more with 4chan, i posted an extra credit assignment here:http://is.gd/hb4HL
