Wednesday in class I had my first Geocatching experience. We went out into the field (Purdue Campus) and used different forms of technology to find a hidden clue. The class was split into groups and each team was to find a clue which was needed to solve the whole puzzle. It was a really interesting experience. I was one of my team's navigators, which means that I was in charge of using the GPS device we were given. I have no realized that the only gps system I am okay with is the one that speaks to me while I drive in my car. Other than that, I thought it was really fun and a great change and actual life application of something we learned in class. I can not imagine geocathing all over the world. scary!

Digital Identity

After writing the assigned paper and reading some different articles about digital identity and the difference between face to face communication and computer mediated comunication, I realized how interested I really am with how people portray themselves via the internet. I have taken the time to personally examine just how I portray myself and how others might percieve me through various meduims on the internet... I will let you know what I have come up with when I do figure if I am being honest with others through things like facebook and my blog :)
