Be Careful on Facebook

Here is a link to a very short video on BBC that interviews a Facebook employee who works on keeping bullies off of Facebook. Some of info may be helpful to avoid receiving warnings about you Facebook behavior. Some of the things they monitor may surprise you.

Welcome

Welcome to the Virtual Honors Forum: a place where students, faculty, and staff of the University Honors Program come together for conversation. Just like in our real forum full of cozy couches, study tables and chairs, this is a place to share with others what you are studying, what has you mesmerized, mildly intrigued, or downright flabbergasted. "To share" is really the key phrase, for as many of us have discovered, real learning (and research) does not take place in a small room where we sit alone with a book. Learning is dialogue and research is collaboration.

On this blog you may find and contribute to conversations about amazing movies, brain plasticity, DDR, Harry Potter, J.R.R. Tolkien, or the ethics of cloning. But more importantly, you have discovered an interdisciplinary community of thinkers and learners who are engaged in a broad range of topics. We ask that you always conduct your conversations with courtesy and honesty.

Finally, we encourage participants to challenge and wrinkle the boundaries between the "thinkers" and the "learners"; to surrender your preconceptions and self-perceptions at the door; to accept an alternating existence between those two roles while in this forum. One day you might contribute as a "thinker," but the next day you read something which transforms you back into a "learner."
