We all know I have a lot to say but class time is limited. This year I will use this forum to enrich classroom discussion by sharing meaningful research and other fantastical and mathematical issues. And sometimes I will venture to share general tidbits from the “real” world, the world you will soon inhabit.
Today’s nugget was brought to my attention in a blog entry by Peter Klein, a friend and Economics professor at the University of Missouri. The article entitled “How to Behave: New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans” * from Wired Magazine suggests social norms for today’s technophisticated individual including:
- Don’t Google-stalk before a first date
- Wait before revealing TV spoilers
- If your call drops, call back
- Delete unwanted posts from your Facebook wall
- Meet online friends in the real world
- Don’t lie with your Facebook photo
- Balance your media diet
- Be mindful of your personal space
This said, texting in class is NOT okay. Even if you are responding to your mom. Save the social-networking for Social Studies class.
