update 101002 - The question: " What does social networking (Twitter, FaceBook etc.) have in common with Illich and De-Schooling".

1st DRAFT (under construction )

Here is an new experimental Twitter account dedicated to this question and an extension of this VFU* ThinkTank StudyDesk for the purpose of developing interactive social networking for De-Schooling and De-design.

http://twitter.com/MediaFreeTimes

Suggested protocols for use :

1) In order to restrict info-overload only one subject at a time is activated on this account. New Subject New Account.

2) The avatar must uses only one persona at a time and that must correspond to the primary priority of interest which is the subject engaged in at any given time. On this account the avatar persona is that of:

student/mentor/Technethics/De-schooling-De-design

3) Only one thread is active at a time and must be completed before moving to the next.

The present thread is:

History of De-Schooling / SocialNetworking/MediaFreeTimes/VirtualFreeU

4) The game plan is open ended but the technology does not restrict low tech users from access

The Game Plan now :

To restrict or as much as possible to decrease info overload / ads / indoctrination/ ideological and product implants etc. and to create a safe interactive study base in this field for others i.e.:

use Foof in Firefox to block ads ...also for faster browser speed block images in your options...cut and paste only relevant subject matter into new HTML files, post these and Tweet the subject and link.

5) In order to be followed on this StudyDesk extension you must be a registered student/mentor and set up a Twitter account dedicated to this ThinkTank StudyDesk, with your VFU* student ID i.e.:

use nicknames with the initials of your name : Paul James (p~j~) = Twitter.com/PetriJax

6) please submit other suggestions via your e-mail or Tweets ...
