Toward a Networked Writing Classroom
As the proliferation of digital technologies and access to information continues to invite different ways of thinking, learning today is influenced by the ever-evolving, interconnected complex systems. While these systems have the potential to expand the ecologies of teaching and learning, many students and teachers have yet to tap into their richness. This session explores how connectivism and networked learning might be used to enhance the teaching and learning of first-year writing. I seek to demonstrate how personal technology, Open Educational Resources, and cloud-based computing could be integrated into the curriculum to cultivate interactive, self-directed learning. I will also consider the teacher’s role in facilitating the networked learning process, helping students to situate themselves within the complex relationships of technologies and discourse communities. I hope this creates an open forum to discuss the embedded rhetorics in technology, as well as to explore methodologies for research in the realm of connectivism.

Election 2012: A Battle of the Social Media
About a decade ago, the hottest thing in political campaign was the Internet (Garecht, 2011). Political consultants and candidates touted the promise of the Web to change the mode of their campaign strategies. From fundraising to propagandizing, web-based campaigning overwhelmed the medium with political messages. Yet, with the sudden hype of Web 2.0 over the past few years, social media became the new hot medium for political campaigning. As the election season approaches, we are seeing an increasing amount of political messages streaming into social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Due to this trend, political parties are spending millions of dollars hiring social media experts to manage and monitor their appearances and respective messages on SNS. Nonetheless, how effective are SNS acting as a new medium for the transmission of these propaganda messages? Do SNS audience receive firsthand information from their political leaders, or through a group of active gatekeepers who screen information and only pass on items that would help others share their views on these sites (Baran & Davis, 2009)? According to an analysis of voters’ decision-making process during a 1940 presidential election campaign, Paul Lazersfeld and his team of researchers revealed evidence suggesting that the flow of mass communication is less direct than we supposed. Known as opinion leaders, this group of active gatekeepers maintains an important role in consuming and filtering propaganda messages on SNS. Drawing from the two-step flow theory of communication process, this study aims to identify opinion leaders within the realm of SNS, their influence toward the electoral progress, and determines if SNS are an effective medium for the generation, replication, and dissemination of political messages.
