While surfing the web, dropping in on several college sites, and even opening various mailings, a general observation can be made that many universities seem to be living in the past when it comes to their […]

Before starting this class, I accepted without thinking twice. I’m assuming the 4% are those who just really don’t know or care, but I’d bet they are not intentionally opting in for contribution’s sake, lol. The percentage about gamers makes sense and I find troublesome as games already exploit addiction and now this is taking it to the next step…[Read more]

Gabi, Wow, thank you for sharing. I haven’t been active on Facebook for like 5 years, but recently was invited to join a Facebook group Mental Health First Aid trainers to connect and share resources. A requirement of being a trainer is that there are two present at all trainings and you have to host at least 4 trainings per year to keep your…[Read more]

Julia, Julia, Julia! You took me down the same rabbit hole, Thankyou! This was so insightful Wow, it is very interesting to see how the different platforms very in their “ability” to censor content. I agree 100% this is problematic.
I wonder if it taps into what Sean was saying about the value system of the platform origins? But either way, I…[Read more] -

On your last point, I will have to say, yes we would definitely need more time to observe behavior over a longer period of time; however, using my own behavior I would guess that shift would REALLY only happen on an as needed basis as my reaction was not to go to the original source of the content that I follow (way too many to do that and only a…[Read more]

This is so complex. So, so many layers in fact that I’m not going to pretend to understand it. However, I will note that while watching the hearing and news reports that followed, I did notice what seemed to be Republicans and Democrats agreeing on the need to rein Facebook in if you will. They agreed on the need to examine the algorithms that…[Read more]

Erin, all I can say is wow and ditto. I appreciate that you included the summary of the guidelines above and echo your sentiments. Our department within the university barely operates at a 1 for many of the same reasons with no expressed intentions of shifting focus to support this area in the future. I attended a summit today that discussed the…[Read more]

I dabbled in audio books for a few years still preferring to have an actual book in my hand; however, in 2016 that all changed. I accepted a position out in NE Philly and my commute was never less than an hour and a half but often more. At first I noticed my mind wondering considerably during the commute… everything from my upcoming to do list…[Read more]

I agree Erin. As a working mom, I am now able to effectively execute a solid strategy for running my home, which is comparable to running a small business, in ways that simply weren’t available to me before the implementation of digital solutions. When people say, “April! Omg, how do you do it all with 10 kids, a full-time job, and grad school?”…[Read more]

Hannah thank you for sharing! This is my first time experiencing a John Lewis commercial! I say experience because it truly is. To produce content that doesn’t attempt to sell a product but still is powerful enough to promote a brand is #goals.

Hannah! I could not agree more. Vogue gets it. Know. Like. Trust. This segment is one of my absolute favorites!
One in particular that is an all-time stand out fave for me is Donatella Versace’s clip as she attempts to get people to stop pronouncing Versace, Ver SAH Chee and her expressed commitment to women’s empowerment. If anyone want to give…[Read more] -

This immediately brought to mind Spaceship Earth. At Epcot, this 16 minute ride has no whips, dips, or fast turns, but what an amazing experience! You travel back to the dawn of humanity, from when men were painting on walls to the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press. As the end of the ride nears, the experience continues. The ascension…[Read more]

I’m wondering the same thing as Lesley. @Amanda you are an avid user of Reddit already. What do you think it will take to not only keep their existing base when they do go public and what moves will they need to make to position themselves as the powerhouse that you mentioned?
