Today I found iFoods.tv, which is a site about cooking and cookery. The content is supposed to be user-generated and it will be interesting to see if enough users actually do generate enough content to keep the site lively.

This afternoon was a time for group tasks. The group that I joined consisted of Christina, Ralf, and Suvi. Our given task was to discuss the topic “Scale-free networks: the realm of the social”; decide what it meant and how it related to the overall themes of the seminar; make a presentation to the whole group on our thoughts; and finish with a proposal for a future project based upon these thoughts.

There are crucial differences between MySpace and Bebo on the one hand, and Facebook on the other. Although the three are often lumped together, I have come to think that Facebook has very different possibilities – ones which could be usefully used in educational contexts, and particularly as a background platform for immersive learning.
