Admittedly there hasn’t been as much activity in my lifestream this week. This may be due to one of two things. I have been struck down with one of my students many colds and therefore have a very fuzzy head OR it may be because I have struggled to get to grips with the whole concept of being a cyborg and posthumanisim, and found Hararway particularly hard going. (The lack of understanding may therefore have been a result of the cold!). I came across a youtube video and posted this to my lifestream. This video, “Donna Haraways’ a manifesto to cyborgs, a youtube presentation” certainly helped me to get my head around her ideas and theories a little better.
I have started to consider my essay topic and methods of presentation. At the moment I am considering exploring transliteracy and how offline methods of communication, teaching and learning have been developed and translated into online forms. The concept of Lifeworlds also interests me. I am going to revisit Sue Thomas’ core reading and delve a little further in week ten.
