social objects
It may be fruitful to approach blogs as networks of “social objects”. Social software connects individuals, but is sometimes anchored by objects of shared desire.
In teaching and learning, what are such objects? The curriculum is not, generally speaking, beyond (limited) faculty partisanship. Discussions are not objects themselves. So what would anchor social networking among students, teachers, and staff?
Perhaps I should look into some object-focused social software services to explore further, such as Flickr.
