Group questions, 4/15
1. Watch (again) the video, "The Anonymity Project - Spring 2009 Digital Ethnography Preview". Explore the themes individually and as a group, along with whatever else makes an impression on you. Look for examples online or in other media that exemplify your thoughts. Discuss with your group; present to the class. (Themes may include anonymity/pseudoanonymity; privacy/pseudoprivacy; the issue of the power differential; or any direction you want to take this)
2. Pick a topic from the week’s reading (Online Privacy) that interests your group. Do some research and present your topic and ideas to the class. Be prepared to use the computer to support your discussion.
3.Explore protecting your anonymity online. Draw on the brief class presentation in which we discussed this. Start by doing some individual research. Look at services like Anonymizer and Tor. Let these serve as a launching pad to explore other related services or ideas related to the topic. Discuss with your group; present to the class. Be prepared to use the computer to support your discussion.
4. Explore the fascination with celebrity and how this may tie to the concept of anomie, as presented in video, “The Anonymity Project - Spring 2009 Digital Ethnography Preview.” Shape your own research; find your own links; discuss with your group; present to the class.
