I wonder how many college teachers are discussing the Boston Marathon bombings with their students, and what they are saying about the aftermath.

I just want to share this piece of article and hear what you guys think.
On Tuesday 22 January I attended an online seminar titled “The Individual and Scholarly Networks: A two-part seminar on Building Networks and Evaluating Network Relationships.” I have shared my notes, here.

Hi all!
Does anyone have any thoughts on the role of photo sharing websites (including Picasa) during political events (such as Egypt, Quebec Student Strike, etc)?
I have thought about this for Twitter & even Instagram, as they are easily accessed on the mobile & built for real-time updating, sharing & hashtagging. Yet, Picasa offers long term organizing and managment and retireval of images, but is it used as much?
Would love some thoughts and/or links.
Cheers
Magdalena
