Reflect: Consider three suggestions from the article that you feel   will help you pop your filter bubble.

 

Write: In the discussion, answer the following questions as part   of your discussion posts. 

• Which three suggestions did        you select and why did you choose them?
• Do you feel popping your        filter bubble is important for all of the searches (i.e. professional,        academic, personal) you conduct online or only some? Why, or why not?
• Does this information change        when and how you use Internet searching in your research?  Expand        on your thoughts.

To maximize the opportunity for   vigorous discussion, you must post to this discussion on at least three   separate days of the week and your posts must total at least 600 words as you   address the questions noted above. Your first post must be completed by Day 3   (Thursday) and the remainder of your posts must be completed by Day 7   (Monday). You must answer all aspects of the prompt at some point during the   week. Also, be sure to reply to your classmates and instructor.

 

Respond to Peers:As your reply to your classmates, extend the conversation   by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the   posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze   things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might consider sharing   suggestions for popping the filter bubble. Consider comparing your search   results after popping your filter bubble with those of your classmates.
