Comments on: Changing fortunes http://blogtrax.blogsome.com/2007/05/01/changing-fortunes/ This is the meta blog of DrJoolz and Guy Merchant Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:56:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: blogtrax http://blogtrax.blogsome.com/2007/05/01/changing-fortunes/#comment-678 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 10:13:20 +0100 http://blogtrax.blogsome.com/2007/05/01/changing-fortunes/#comment-678 So glad you liked our chapter ... and yes I think both Guy and I would agree (this is DrJoolz answering) that the boundary blurring is especially thereatening to some folk. Re the iAnya / A Thomas thing - not too sure about that as she blogs as at that time she was blogging as i-anya. Interesting that she now blogs as Angela Thomas very clearly - and yet feels very blended, I think, with her SL persona... all fascinating stuff around identity of course.

I have just enjoyed your chapter in "A new literacies sampler" - thanks! I was using it on Friday to challenge a handful 'new' professional doctorate students to think in 'new' ways about IT... (especially the quote on p170 from i-anya) [thinks: shouldnt that'v been "A Thomas in I-anya" ;-)]. Those 3 dimensions of blending (p169) personal/public, serious/frivolous, multiple/individual authorship are, it struck me, a big element of what makes some folk I know so reluctant and suspicious about thinking in open networked ways about IT.
