response to social capital

Our blog is a third space specifically for this discussion class. Obviously, people outside of this section 302 are excluded. But within this class, in order for someone to access the third space they must know how to type, how to post a blog, and how to navigate the blog. Also, everyone must have internet access and a computer.
But a third space is also voluntary, so a student has to WANT to contribute to the blog for it to really fit the definition.
Some of the social capital that is exchanged amongst members of this blog are comments, the recognition of having your post read, the photographs that we will add to our introductions, and links. If someone decides to update their profile, that information would also be a form of social capital.
