Thoughts on reflective analysis
Although our reflective analysis assignment is due at the end of the semester, we will write a rough analysis of our activities around the middle of the semester. To analyze our activities–designing websites, maintaining blogs, and writing articles for Wikipedia–in a productive way, we need to interpret our activities through the theoretical lenses of our readings, not only in CyberReader but also in the other texts we come across (like the ones I link to from this blog). We need to keep in mind distinctions between reality and virtual reality, and identities online and offline. We want to consider differences in interactivity and immediacy between print and electronic writing. And we want to consider similarities in all of these, too.
