  • I clicked on it and found a step-by-step guide by Andre ‘Serling’ Segers at ign.com. After reading the Basics, I clicked on Walkthrough, which contains detailed instructions with screen shots for each step of the game. I went to my Diigo toolbar and clicked "bookmark." I entered the following tags: zelda, wii, guide, and video-games. I then printed out the guide to Part 1 and went back to my living room to play. After I completed Part 1 I went back to my computer where I saw that the Diigo widget in my Netvibes ecosystem had a link to the Zelda guide. I clicked on the link, found Part 2, printed it, and continued playing. Here is the complete process, repeated.
  • each of the online tools-each of the Web 2.0 technologies-I used during this process is as much a semiotic domain as Zelda itself. They are filled with, to borrow from Gee’s list, written language, images, equations, symbols, sounds, gestures, graphs, and artifacts. Consider, for example, the upper left section of the Netvibes RSS reader that I use-and asked students to use:
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • how to use them within the context of a particular action: finding, retrieving, storing, and re-accessing a certain bit of information
  • Only recently, with the pervasiveness of social bookmarking software (such as Del.icio.us and Diigo) and the ubiquity of RSS feed readers (such as Google Reader and Netvibes), have technologies been available for all internet users to compose their own dynamic storage spaces in multiple interconnected online locations.
  • These dynamic storage spaces each contain what Jay David Bolter (2001) calls writing spaces-online and in-print areas where texts are written, read, and manipulated. Web 2.0 technologies are replete with multiple writing spaces, each of which has its own properties, assumptions, and functions
  • If we can see these spaces as semiotic domains, then we must also see them as spaces for literacy-a literacy that is a function of the space’s own characteristics.
  • [T]echnological literacy . . . refers not only to what is often called "computer literacy," that is, people’s functional understanding of what computers are and how they are used, or their basic familiarity with the mechanical skills of keyboarding, storing information, and retrieving it. Rather, technological literacy refers to a complex set of socially and culturally situated values, practices, and skills involved in operating linguistically within the context of electronic environments, including reading, writing, and communicating. The term further refers to the linking of technology and literacy at fundamental levels of conception and social practice. In this context, technological literacy refers to social and cultural contexts for discourse and communication, as well as the social and linguistic products and practices of communication and the ways in which electronic communication environments have become essential parts of our cultural understanding of what it means to be literate.
  • I teach a portion of a team-taught course called Introduction to Writing Arts that is now required for all Writing Arts majors. In groups of 20 students rotate through three four-week modules, each of which is taught by a different faculty member. My module is called Technologies and the Future of Writing. Students are asked to consider the relationships among technology, writing, and the construction of electronic spaces through readings in four main topic areas: origins of internet technologies, writing spaces, ownership and identities, and the future of writing.
  • how can we prepare students for the kinds of social and collaborative writing that Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies will demand in the coming years? How can we encourage students to create environments where they will begin to see new online writing spaces as genres with their own conventions, grammars, and linguistics? How can we help students-future writers-understand that the technologies they use are not value neutral, that they exist within a complex, distributed relationship between humans and machines? And how can that new-found understanding become the basis for skills that students will need as they continue their careers and as lifelong learners?
  • so much of writing is pre-writing-research, cataloguing, organizing, note-taking, and so forth-I chose to consider the latter question by introducing students to contemporary communication tools that can enable more robust activities at the pre-writings stage.
  • I wanted students to begin to see how ideas-their ideas-can and do flow between multiple spaces. More importantly, I wanted them to see how the spaces themselves influenced the flow of ideas and the ideas themselves.
  • The four spaces that I chose create a reflexive flow of ideas. For example, from their RSS feed reader they find a web page that is interesting or will be useful to them in some way. They bookmark the page. They blog about it. The ideas in the blog become the basis for a larger discussion in a formal paper, which they store in their server space (which we were using as a kind of portfolio). In the paper they cite the blog where they first learned of the ideas. The bookmarked page dynamically appears in the social bookmark widget in their RSS reader so they can find it again. The cycle continues, feeding ideas, building information, compounding knowledge in praxis.

    • Sense-making with PKM
    • People learn socially
    • Effective learning is the difference between surfing the waves or being drowned
    • ...42 more annotations...
    • PKM (personal knowledge management) can be your customized surfboard
    • an internal process based on repeating four activities
    • combined with three external activities
    • Connect – with others via various platforms and extend my reach Exchange – ideas and observations Contribute – to conversations
    • Together, these processes look like this:
    • moving from implicit to explicit knowledge
    • Connecting:
    • Looking Inward One of the important aspects of PKM is triage
    • what you may view as useless today could be quite important tomorrow
    • Categorizing:
    • Making Explicit:
    • Going Public:
    • Retrieval:
    • Looking Outward
    • observing, reflecting
    • Contributing.
    • EXAMPLES
    • That idea of looking to form new patterns is a very powerful one
    • Sorting Categorizing Making Explicit

    • Eric Blue
    • May 24th, 2009
    • Excellent article!
    • one of the most lucid explanations of PKM
    • aggregated PKM is not the same as social PKM
    • emergent structure
    • When collecting bits of information it often isn’t possible to know how best to organise or classify
    • that often comes later
    • you begin to see relationships, connections, linkages that simply weren’t apparent
    • your own ability or preparedness to sense a particular pattern has changed

    Package Sewage Treatment Plant - 0 views

    •  
      There are areas within the cities, towns and villages that are impossible to cover under centralized wastewater treatment system, to offer perfect solution for the same, Shubham steps in this field. Shubham package sewage treatment plant type wastewater treatment system is compact, effective and economical for wastewater treatment in decentralized manner. PWTS-AM series is ideal for individual bungalows, low rise apartments, restaurants, offices, small factories, etc. NBF series is ideal for malls, hospitals, office building, institutions, townships/colonies, high rise buildings etc. Operation Principle 1. Solid Separation Zone of package sewage treatment plant: This is the primary treatment process that separates solid and scum from wastewater. 2. Aeration Zone of package sewage treatment plant: Clear water flows into this stage. Oxygen supplied by air blowers is required for the digestion of bacteria culture thriving in and around the plastic media inside the aeration zone, thus reducing the amount of contaminants while generating more contacts with the bacteria culture on the surface area of media. The quality of water becomes better. 3. Sedimentation Zone of package sewage treatment plant: The next step of treatment involves the sedimentation where organic wastes are settled in the sedimentation zone. The settled waste in the bottom of the tank can then be pumped back to the solid separation as a return sludge to ensure that quality of effluent passes the required standard. Chlorine is sometimes introduced before discharging the effluent into public mains. Advantages of Package Sewage Treatment Plant 1. 100% Eco friendly 2. Rust Proof 3. Leak Proof 4. Durable Light Weight 5. Easy to Install 6. Massive reduction of BOD
