“my identity is comprised of the ideas that others have about me, and the ideas I have about my ‘self’” (Barney 2004: 143) #mscidel
@lconnelly09 And I think that 'Life on the Screen' has some negative images as well. #mscidel
@hamacleod I think it is both. In 2011 'Alone Together' she identifies how technology and culture have and are changing #mscidel
@lconnelly09 Has Turkle really changed between 1995 and 2011? Perhaps the online world has changed? #mscidel
reflecting on Burbules p.388 - Turkle 1995 = Utopian view, 2011 = realistic? #mscidel
do we not have multiple identities offline (mother, daughter, friend etc) as well as online - but all are part of the 'self'? #mscidel
@thinktosync Is online an extension or alternative self? Sometimes offline can feel like the extension! #mscidel

@Nikki_1976 same here Nikki, but will get used to it soon. #mscidel
@sbayne Asolutely. Do we feel that we really leave our bodies, and our emotions, behind when we go online? #mscidel
@sarumahomva Agree! Another contradiction is that his critique of 'disembodiment' assumes its possibility... Pure technoromantic! #mscidel

RT @sarumahomva: @hamacleod No we dont but surely on-line comm.. opens up an opportunity to misrespresent oneself more than f2f #mscidel
@sarumahomva Yes, why should distance learning be more about "consumption" and less about "interaction" than classroom learning? #mscidel

@websjapan "You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you." Heraclitus was on Twitter! #mscidel
#mscidel twitter "conversations" are really doing my head in. unthreaded = ?
#mscidel Dreyfus contradicts himself in some instances – he presents distance education students as passive recipients of information.
@hamacleod I agree, Dreyfus has a limited notion of risk - requiring physical presence? - reputational risk is enough, surely #mscidel

RT @giles_julian: #mscidel First ever tweet. Test ready for tomorrow. Very uncomfortable with the 100% public nature of this.
@hamacleod Indeed, some students have already said on the discussion board & Twitter that it feels risky to express opinion online. #mscidel
@hamacleod Personal preference colouring my opinions I'd guess! #mscidel
