Writing on the Wall


I teach a digital citizenship unit inspired by my work in collaboration with Common Sense Media. In this unit, I posit a near future time where my students are transformed (sometimes I say how, for instance, a nanobiology accident…) into superheroes to combat digital villainy taken to an extraordinary level. Here is my vision of a virus attacking raw code in the virtual environment of software language. I call it "Writing on the Wall".

Blogging seems very new to me and to post a comment on something I'm not very familiar with isn't easy. However, this is part of our ITEC 601 course at SFSU and I'm just fulfilling that part. Hope, this much of comment is sufficient.

This post sounds like an excellent starting point for the next big Science Fiction blockbuster!! :-) Nice picture!

This is a great example of being lost in the digital environment. I find the user interface of most of the tools we've looked at a little overwhelming but at least I saw some classmates posts here (thank you intrepid fellow travelers :-))
I tried the wiki site and other than the seemingly never-ending process of finding names that had not been used and not including forbidden characters, including spaces, building a Wiki seems pretty straightforward.

A wonderful example of the power of the internet. This is a forum to explore, and express ideas, using text, images, and links. There is an opportunity for community and dialogue, and the fact that there are no anonymous comments will limit negative, and superfluous comments.
