Also, the use of cognitive tools acculturates one into society and, in turn, changes society through the ideas and ways of thinking enabled by that tool (Putnam & Borko, 2000).

EDU702 : Design Seminar/ Ethnographic Design Problem Statement Research Questions Limitations & Significance Background Literature Review Methodology Q & A Ethnography Design Types of studies: descriptive Research design : both anthropological and virtual ethnography ( experience with them for 3 month) A qualitative research project where the purpose is to provide a detailed, in-depth description of everyday life and practice. Ethnographers will immerse themselves in the community that they wish to study, and become familiar with the people in that community, and the practices that they undertake in everyday life. Virtual ethnography is the process of conducting and constructing an ethnography using the virtual, online environment as the site of the research. Anthropological ethnography that occurs “in real life” is conducted to detail the experiences of people in specific cultural milieu, a traditional ethnography.

EDU702 : Design Seminar/ Ethnographic Design Problem Statement Research Questions Limitations & Significance Background Literature Review Methodology Q & A If Facebook play a role in formal schooling, then its quintessential nature may need to remain unfettered. We cannot predict the influence of new technologies on students behavior in 5 years’ time. Facebook may corrupt school learning, promoting an anarchy that may be inimical to school as a center of knowledge exchange. Or Facebook might be transformed, tamed, and safe for education.
