    " Leadership | 10/31/2012 @ 9:59AM |9,812 views Social Media Training Is Now Mandatory: Five Ways To Make Sure Your Company Does It Right 10 comments, 2 called-out Comment Now Follow Comments Sprint Ninjas Sprint Ninjas When I wrote my book, The 2020 Workplace, in 2010, I made a prediction some considered bold: I said that by the year 2020, social media training in the workplace would be as common as ethics and diversity training. Thanks to a turbocharged boom in social over the past two years, developments have outpaced even my own expectations. Eight years early, we are already there. Social media training is quickly becoming mandatory for an ever-growing range of companies, far surpassing the first wave of IT firms that rolled it out two years ago, like Dell, Intel and IBM. While it began as an added 'bonus' in the arsenal of the marketing spokesperson, now companies ranging from Unisys, PepsiCo, Adidas, HP and Sprint are making social not only part of the company's core training curriculum, but also a key element in their recruiting message, stressing the employee benefit of receiving social media literacy training. One obvious motivation for formalizing a company's social media programs and policies is to avoid a social media disaster. If you remember a video entitled "Dirty Dominos Pizza," you know just how dangerous the combination of social media and the workplace can be. The two Dominos Pizza employees who joke in this video while tampering with food -claimed afterward that they were just having fun when they posted this footage to YouTube. The result? Both were fired and sent to jail on charges of food tampering. And three years later, when you conduct a Google search on Domino's Pizza, this awful video is still the fifth result! Companies like Unisys, Sprint and HP are creating social media training programs to avoid these types of social media crises, but also, just as importantly, to show employees how using social media can be a

      a very good story in reference to media literacy and how it is needed amongst television viewers
  • Media literacyBYLINE: Barry Duncan; GAMLENGTH: 156 wordsDATELINE: Toronto ONT The Globe and Mail is to be commended for the articles on children's viewing habits (Watching Children Watch Television, ec. -- May 14). While the research on the impact of television on children is often contradictory, most people would agree that some kind of critical viewing skills can help to give young people valuable insights into television and its social and commercial implications. In this regard, educators have a key role to play in encouraging such programs in the schools. Fortunately, several schools are now launching critical television viewing programs. The Association for Media Literacy is the only group of teachers in Canada who have a comprehensive approach to television literacy. It is now time for the ministry and school boards to recognize that we live in a world that requires as survival skills the ability to be media literate as well as print literate.Barry Duncan Association for Media Literacy Toronto Find Documents with Similar TopicsHelpBelow are concepts discussed in this document.

  • Literacy comparisons a tricky thing; OpinionBYLINE: Don Aitkin Don Aitkin is a former vice-chancellor of the University of Canberra.SECTION: EDUCATION; Pg. 34LENGTH: 649 wordsLike more than one or two others, I should think, I was a tad surprised when minister Brendan Nelson Enhanced Coverage LinkingBrendan Nelson &nbsp;-Search using:Biographies Plus NewsNews, Most Recent 60 Dayssaid he was worried about literacy levels and that he wanted to do something about it. Not that I think he's wrong to value high levels of literacy. High literacy standards are the foundation of a civilised society, and the higher they are the better.But one of the more recent OECD studies of literacy and numeracy put contemporary Australian kids at the very top of the tree. We have somewhat poorer scores than other countries in respect of equity (that is, family income and context really do make a difference in Australia to the levels of literacy and numeracy reached), but in Olympic terms we're up with the medal-winners. So has Nelson got it wrong? Well, no, he hasn't really. What we are seeing here is a nice example of something that bedevils political debate in Australia, and not least about education. You could call it Judgements Based on Incomplete Comparisons.Many years ago I came to the view that all judgements were either explicitly or implicitly comparative, and that it was important in argument to be very clear about the comparative basis on which you were making your judgements. Most people, it seems to me, assume that their position must be the right one because they have some good data. But there are other data, and to ignore them is to ignore other possibilities.That is, if Nelson says he thinks Australian literacy levels are too low he must be comparing them with something. And there are three basic possibilities. He could be comparing them with some ideal or technical standard, like an ideal world in which every single Australian is completely literate in every sense, or has passed some recognised external test of literacy.Or he could be comparing them, as I did a moment ago, with other countries like us, and argue that we should be even further ahead (which he may well think).Or he could be comparing them either backward or forwards in time. We actually have lower standards of literacy than we had 50 years ago, not because kids are less able or because teaching standards have slipped but because we have taken into our society many people from other lands who are not literate in English, some of them not even literate in the strict sense in their own preferred languages. So he could be arguing that we should be getting back to the standards of literacy that obtained in, say, 1950.He could be going for some combination of these possibilities, as well, but most people usually rest on one and ignore the others. He seemed to be referring to actual examples of illiteracy he had encountered, or heard of, which had to fall far below any acceptable standard.You can see Incomplete Comparisons in many debates for example, about whether we're devoting the right amount to Business Expenditure on Research and Expenditure. Some critics will say that it's inadequate, whatever it is, which is an example of the Comparison against an Ideal. Others will point to, say, the Netherlands or the US or Japan (all countries, unlike ourselves, with a large manufacturing sector) and say that we need to aim there (Comparison Across Space). Defenders will say that the figure is absolutely or relatively higher than it was last year or five years ago (Comparison over Time). All will wield their statistics triumphantly, as though their data can't be controverted.But of course they may all be right: Australia does spend less than some other countries, but more than it used to spend, and it is unlikely to spend as much as the US, even proportionately, or be the top country in the world in this competition. How does that help anyone make a decision?In Australia we seem to argue frequently in this profitless way, preferring our own statistics and our own perspective to anyone else's, and unwilling to recognise the real complexity of the situation.

  • Information literacy is part of lifelong learning and is crucial not only for academic and research purposes, but also in decision-making.
  • Information literacy a crucial career skillSECTION: CAREERS; Pg. B09LENGTH: 612 wordsCareer security in an uncertain world often depends on information, information and information.At first glance, you'd think if anyone should feel secure at work it would be Larry Beck. For over 12 years, he has worked for a large, successful firm that has invested in his training.Beck doesn't feel secure, however, and neither do many of his contemporaries. "The people I work with, the people I sit beside, the people I meet in the elevator who do the same function as I do feel like they have their feet dangling in the water surrounded by sharks," he says.Beck spends his days on the phone and online, providing technical support to line workers. The sharks have been circling his section, he confides, since his employer began moving some of the support function off-shore."We were told it was a business need," he recalls. "And when we asked about our own jobs the response was: 'At this time there is no plan to outsource this function.' But we all feel like it's just a matter of time."Beck writes about the column I wrote in this space on Sept. 8 , The changing face of labour in Canada, which noted: "The Canadian market for skills and labour is strong ... 42 per cent of all occupations and 35 per cent of all industries are now experiencing skill or labour shortages.""Where are these jobs?" he asks. "What industries are desperate for skilled labour? I would gladly embark on a training/apprenticeship program if I could identify the industry and occupation in need."Beck wants what many want: a crystal ball into which he can gaze and see the future. No such magical device exists, however. Nobody but you can decide on the sort of work you'll do, the job you'll take on, the skills you should develop.And if you're changing career direction, as Beck would like to, the industries you decide to target and the strategic moves you make to find your way can only be determined by you.The process can take months and perhaps even years. As it evolves, you'll need a great deal of information.Internet technology puts information (sometimes too much of it) at our fingertips. And it takes information literacy, as it's called, to wade through it, decide what's relevant and what isn't. Information literacy, the ability to find, organize, evaluate and use information, is a survival skill in today's workplace. You can't be creative on your own behalf without it.Information is Roger Sauve's stock in trade. His company, People Patterns Consulting (www.peoplepatternsconsult ing.com), published the Canada Jobs Update 2007, which includes the labour market information (LMI) in my September column.LMI explains how the labour market operates. It can be historical, current or projected and is often presented in charts and graphs compiled from statistics, surveys and sectoral studies. It can also be gathered informally, during conversations with people working in a particular field.Sauve's blend of expertise provides a snapshot of information literacy in action. He's an economist by trade, he says, with experience as a market researcher, futurist and demographer.The challenge for Beck and others considering a career change is to learn how to be their own economist, market researcher and demographer.It's a matter of being acutely self-aware, says Sauve. "Anybody who's in any job should have feelers out much of the time, so they can see what's happening in their industry and some other industries, as well."More about this in my next column.Janis Foord Kirk is a public speaker and author of Survivability, Career Strategies for the New World of work.

The rappers used parts of two songs by the US go-go band Trouble Funk without permission, according to papers filed just one day before the death of Adam Yauch.Yauch, his Beastie bandmates, and their labels are all named in a lawsuit by Tuf America, the company that represents Trouble Funk. The suit alleges that Trouble Funk's tracks Drop the Bomb and Say What, both issued in 1982, were sampled repeatedly by Beastie Boys in the late 80s. The lawsuit was filed in New York federal court on Friday. Yauch died on Saturday morning.According to Tuf America's complaint, the Beasties' song Shadrach allegedly samples Say What, while Drop the Bomb is apparently used on two tracks from the rappers' debut album, as well as on Car Thief, from 1989's Paul's Boutique. Although the statute of limitation for copyright infringement has passed, Tuf America say the Beastie Boys never declared the samples had been used, and accuse the group of "purposely concealing the integration" of Trouble Funk's original music. "Only after conducting a careful audio analysis of Shadrach," they wrote, "[were we] able to determine that Shadrach incorporates the Say What sample."Despite Tuf America's allegations, all of the Beastie Boys' Trouble Funk samples have been noted on the website Who Sampled - and onWikipedia - for some time. The Beastie Boys' labels did attempt to license all of the samples on their records, even before 1991's landmark sampling case between Gilbert O'Sullivan and Biz Markie.Tuf America alleges copyright infringement, unjust enrichment and misappropriation. In addition to seeking punitive damages, it has requested a permanent injunction forbidding the Beastie Boys from selling recordings that contain these samples.

Media education should not be confused with educational technology or with educational media. Surveys repeatedly show that, in most industrialized countries, children now spend more time watching television than they do in school, or also on any other activity apart from sleeping[2] Media Education has no fixed location, no clear ideology and no definitive recipients; it is subject to whims of a financial market bigger than itself.[1] Being able to understand the media enables people to analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a wide variety of mediums, genres, and forms. A person who is media literate is informed. There are many reasons why media studies are absent from the primary and secondary school curricula, including cuts in budgets and social services as well as over-packed schedules and expectations. Education for media literacy often uses an inquiry-based pedagogic model that encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, hear, and read.

    • marquita Portis
       
      The 21st century has marked an unprecedented advancement of new media. New media has become so pervasive that it has penetrated into every aspect of our society. New media literacy plays an essential role for any citizen to participate fully in the 21st century society. Researchers have documented that literacy has evolved historically from classic literacy (reading-writingunderstanding) to audiovisual literacy to digital literacy or information literacy and recently to new media literacy. A review of literature on media literacy reveals that there is a lack of thorough analysis of unique characteristics of new media and its impacts upon the notion of new media literacy. The purpose of the study is to unpack new media literacy and propose a framework for a systematic investigation of new media literacy.

  • Cyberbullying is a problem that is growing rapidly, current estimates indicate that at least 20-35% of children and adolescents experience cyberbullying. Clinicians need to be equipped with a framework to help parents in the role they play with their children and the cyberworld. This paper will guide professionals as they advise parents in navigating the world of cyberbullying. It is based on research on parenting, child development and cyberbullying. Parents today typically feel ill-equipped to respond to cyberbullying. They may be convinced that they were born a generation too late to relate to current online etiquette or to know what behaviors are appropriate. Many teens, as they try to separate themselves from authority figures, make it their mission to keep their online world-with all its positive and frightening attributes-"their own". While bullying has now taken on a new dimension, the behavior itself is ancient. Parents should not feel powerless; instead, they should feel confident about responding in ways that are familiar and in concert with their own well-established parenting values and style. As challenging as it is to guide parents today around electronic issues such as cyberbullying, three basic principles can help guide you in your conversations with the parents you are seeking to educate. Remind parents to rely upon the basic strategies they successfully employ on a day-to-day basis: NURTURE children, provide STRUCTURE that is developmentally sound and JOIN children in their world in appropriate ways. This article provides details on how to help parents successfully achieve these three goals.

Abstract: This paper outlines a research project in which three- and four-year-old children in one nursery engaged with editing software to create short animated films. Research questions were related to the knowledge and understanding of multimodal texts that the children developed in the activity, the skills they demonstrated in undertaking the animation work and the implications for curriculum development. Qualitative data were collected over the period of an academic year as children were observed (using fieldnotes and video camera) planning and producing the films. This paper analyses some of the knowledge and understanding of multimodal texts developed throughout the project and suggests that early childhood educators need to understand the nature of new authorial practices if they are to provide appropriate scaffolding for children's learning in the new media age.

EBSCOhost: Result List: internet collaboration - 0 views

      The collaborative power of Web 2.0 and the pervasiveness of the Digital World into all walks of life have increased the urgency for advancements in this area in order to capitalize on the rapid uptake of collaborative technology. How the revelation of core concepts, time, space, virtuality and trust, affects new participants in online collaboration is explored. There is also discussion on the impact of participant identity which requires a 'persona' to act as a lens in collaboration and how this leads to an 'anonymity paradox'. The dynamic nature of virtual collaborative projects is also considered; in particular the impact on group leaders. The paper concludes that in order to unlock the power of online collaboration it is necessary to change focus from current solutions aimed at symptoms such as 'rules and guidelines' towards solutions addressing the underlying conceptual causes which result from the Internet's virtual nature. Addressing these issues has the potential to profoundly change our thinking and will be beneficial to organizations and communities. 
  • This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of three aspects of learning – collaboration, self-regulated learning (SRL), and information seeking (IS) in both Internet-based and traditional face-to-face learning contexts. A multi-dimensional questionnaire was designed to evaluate each aspect in terms of perceived capability, experience, and interest. The analyses explore (1) potential differences of students’ perceptions between Internet-based and face-to-face learning environments and (2) potential differences in the three aspects in relation to learners’ attributes and the use of the Internet and enrollment in online courses. This study surveyed students in a higher education institute who had had experiences with Internet-based and face-to-face learning. The results showed that students perceived higher levels of collaboration

  • &nbsp;Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy? &nbsp; Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on&nbsp;a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!

      Online Etiquette is something that we can email, talk or anything else on the computer just as good as any other person or better.
  • As anyone who has missed an important email knows by now, modern communications etiquette is a minefield of unspoken expectations and potential anxiety-inducing behavior
