As detailed in an earlier post, I’ve had a lot to think and say about the recent news about the Facebook Mood Experiment that was conducted (and most likely continue).

As a response, and satire of this I decided to create a game using Google Forms that would act as a satire of the recent events. In a subsequent post, I’ll share how I created this game for the Connected Learning MOOC.

Ladies and gentlemen…I give you the FacePalm social mood experiment.
