Kevin Bogan's Home Page This page is great because you get to see the picture of the class right there. Also, Kevin has tons of links to great information. There's some good suggestions for beginners. Some of the links within the CSS server don't work, but look into Kevin's weekly reports and find a lot of great information.

Dellia Badua's Home Page I liked Dellia's home page because it was simple and had cute graphics that caught my eye. I thought that it was simple but I would like it better if there was a name or introduction of some kind. If someone were to accidently hit on her page, they won't know what it is about and probably won't stay. Otherwise, I liked that it loaded really fast.

Linda Wong's Home Page I really like the short paragraph introducing herself and telling about the class. The rest of the page was simple yet effective. There are other "alternate" home pages to visit as well and they are basicaly the same but unique in their own way. I liked her creative home page and the pictorial history of her experiences in this class. I can relate to them quite well.

Generation 2

Yoon Wan Cho's Home Page I chose this page because of the nice blue color scheme. Blue is my favorite color so it really caught my attention. The graphics are different and she has several interesting links. The background is a little dark for the font and makes it a little difficult to read, but other than that, it is simple and loads fast, which I really appreciate. I think she may have done her own graphics. Check it out.

Ryan Yamauchi's Home Page Well, Ryan has an unusual grapefruit background and has "different" links. If you enjoy punk rock, basketball, or beer, go here. I think that it's interesting to see what kinds of links other students choose because it reflects on their personality.

Ina Miller's Home Page You have an option of choosing between a faster version of her home page which has no graphics versus one with great images. I planned on looking at both pages but I just couldn't sit and wait for the version that loads with graphics. I'm so impatient. I'm sure its just as good as the no graphics version. Well, I just tried to look at her pages again and now I can't get in. File Error.. It's just one of those things that you have to deal with while on the Internet.

Generation 3

Calvin Cheung's Home Page CUTE! I love Calvin and Hobbes. The tables are great and everything is organized and well displayed. I found this home page to very attractive and easy to follow. There is some good information for beginners towards the bottom, in the last table. It helped me while I was learning the basics.

Cheryl Choe's Home Page I loved the island feeling since we are in Hawai'i. I think it was a class assignment to use tables, it looks great! It's nice and simple, which I like . The only thing that I thought could be changed was the font size for the link to Dr. James's page.

Catherine Heller's Home Page More Calvin & Hobbes. Again, I liked the paragraph of introduction. The graphics on the page fit right into the topics at hand. Also, she provides a link to all the graphics she has collected for you to get free. It took a little too long to load for me but I enjoyed it once it got loaded. It's well organized and quite eye-catching.

Generation 3a

Ronel Agarpao's Home Page This page makes me feel happy with the smiley face icons. You can read a short paragraph of introduction and see some nice tables, graphics, and buttons. The background is nice but may have contributed to the time it took to load.

Christy Forsythe's Home Page This is a nice and colorful page. It is simple yet effective, and again, I like the short introduction. She also has a cute link to a picture of her son, Gavin.

Ross Simafranea's Home Page Beavis and Butthead. What more do I have to say? You probably can tell a person's personality from what they put on their home pages. Its a really nice and colorful home page that is real eye-catching. I really like the background.

My feelings about being in a generational cyberspace community

Being a part of a generational cyberspace community is really exciting. The idea that future generations will be reading what I am experiencing right now for years to come is amazing to me. Society will be able to watch as communities such as this one begins to develop over the years. We have the opportunity to have a first hand look in cyberspace at how attitudes and culture changes over the years. Each generation brings into the community a unique perspective of their learning experience. Each class is different and unique in their ideas and approaches to learning and yet, all the generations come together as one with similar ideas and thoughts.
The information that can be obtained from these communities is very interesting and useful. Each student in this community contributes a small portion of a greater whole that is accessible to a huge population. For years to come anyone can acess these reports and learn as we are doing right now. The ideas and uses for such generational communities are limitless. There is so much for each generation to come to obtain from these reports. I can only imagine what it will be like a few years from now when the amount of generations has doubled.

The excitement for me comes from being able to learn with these other students and helping each other to get through cyberspace. It just seems easier to confront the problems and frustrations that arise when I know there are other students feeling and experiencing some of the same things as I am. As I read through the home pages of other generations, it was obvious to me that we are all going through the same experiences but at different times or semesters. It helps to know that I'm not the only one who felt stupid during the first month of class. Not only will this be helpful for my generation and myself but I get excited thinking that I am helping to teach and am contributing to future generations. Future generations will be able to look at our experiences as they are going through the same process, just as we have. There is a sense of being part of this larger group even though you never come face to face with most of the students. There is a level of interaction that is so different from traditional learning. We are gaining knowledge from the experiences of past students. And we are also providing knowledge for future generations to use.

What others can find out about cyberspace

There is a lot to be learned about cyberspace and cyber-communities. One way of looking for information related to these subjects is to try hitting on a search engine and type in "cyberspace", "cybercommunity" or "netizens". See my report #3 about search engines. Once you come up with a list of pages on cyberspace, the information varies somewhat. There are pages related to actual cybercommunities which you can join, pages of articles that relate to cyberspace in many aspects like education.

My instructor's home page on Cyber-psychology is a good place to begin. The information may look like a lot but is very interesting and informative. Another page that I found interesting on the Psychology of Cyberspace is written by a professor at Rider University. Also, take a look at my cyberpsychology FAQ page

Cyberspace and cyber-communities is what this whole class is based on. It takes students into cyberspace and puts them into a cybercommunity to learn and explore. What is cyberspace you say? It is defined as the domain of interactive electronic mediation in all of its forms: telephone, telegraph networks, computer-generate environments and networks, radio, television, and even the virtual space occupied by computer games. So, you have bee in cyberspace and didn't even know it. Who would of thought that TV and radio were considered cyberspace, yes, it is. It all has to do with virtual presence or virtual reality. This is when something is providing the illusion of presence. Like with the television, there is something going on while you're watching the TV but it's not live, it's virtual, brought to you through cable acces. There's a lot to know and find out about cyberspace and cybercommunities. There are a lot of pages out there that can provide you with some information. If you are interested, go check out some of the pages that I linked to above. Good Luck!
