Rise up, rise up! If our time together has been effective, you now have an understanding of the power of technology- used effectively - in helping you to understand and utilize the social Web. In this module, you practice your new skills and get feedback on your message. Individually and collectively, we are using the power and speed of digital communication to share ideas, commitments and actions.
Let's take a look at the dark side of taking a stand. Please read about:
ANONYMOUS (here at Wikipedia, and check out their posts on YouTube - overview here) - the decisions they've made, actions they've taken to right what they see as modern wrongs
About Snowden (here and here), about Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange/WikiLeaks
Heroes or Villains? Is it that black and white? You decide.
You need to know your values and guidelines. The digital space moves quickly and there's often not time to be reflective when in the midst of advocacy. Know where you stand. Know what you value.
The best way to reach an audience in a thoughtful way that allows continuum AND response is a blog, and the most popular blog space is (of course) Blogger, by Google. Free, indexed, easy to use. Take a stand there.
