Tahrir Square - Egypt!

In class, we were asked to make a wiki on wet paint to show how we can recieve information of the internet about particular topics and events. Each group consisted of four or five people. We had five in my group. We were then given a topic of what we had to write our wiki on, our topic was Tahrir Square. We were each given a bullet point which we had to write a thread for our wiki's on.
I had to write my thread on Social Networking and identity. For this I had to talk about the riots that happened in tahrir square and how people uploading images and videos of footage to their social networking sites would effect peoples judgements of them online.
We also had a main page that everyone contributed to. We added pictures, links to social networking sites and videos so that people reading our wiki could get a better understanding of what was happening in tahrir square during the riots.

Before I started writing about this topic, I had very little knowledge of what had happened in tahrir square. I found out most of my information through the internet which I also think helps to show how important the internet can be sometimes. I also learned alot about how people want to make themselves appear online and how that can be different to the person that they genuinely are.

Below is a link to our Wiki that we created based on Tahiri Square.
