While its no big deal, I noticed something interesting on my facebook home page. I was looking at the news feed showing popular posted items in the University network.
Top of the list is a link to a popular soft porn image gallery.
What can we deduce from this I wonder?
Think of the offence such a clearly visible link could cause to some.
We all know that the Internet has some pretty murky corners; after all it reflects the real world. Some members of the network think the link worthy of posting.
But in our classrooms, our lecture theatres, and computer labs we can't allow ourselves to be party to illuminating those corners for our students.
The University PLE wouldn't carry such a link.
Should Facebook be the platform through which students will access class discussion groups? I'm not sure.
