Category: Social Networks, digital literacyThirteen days into the new year and the updates on this blog look like I’ve dropped off the planet. Not so. It’s simply been that recharge time when, like many others in Australia, we lift the foot a little and focus on the fun of Christmas and family after the end of year windup. This ability to increase and reduce the momentum is important to sustainability as a blogger as I discussed with Judith Way for SLAV Bright Ideas recently but now, it’s back to business.
A major recent disturbance that set up the ranting on Twitter was the flip on Facebook privacy settings by founder, Mark Zukerberg. Having maintained a love/hate affair with FB for 5 years, this video by Larry Magid from ConnectSafely which clearly explains Configuring Facebooks new privacy settings assists my comfort with commitment. I believe it’s a ‘must sendout’ on every school newsletter in the first weeks back. Happy New Year everybody.
Have you checked out the ACEC2010 Conference coming up in Melbourne 6-9 April?
