  • Social media in China is different than in other countries due to the special political situation and economic environment. China has social networks that are the equivalent of Facebook and Twitter, but in this country they are used in slightly different ways. “People in the U.S. use Twitter more like casual talking,” says Hanwen. “In China people use social media more to share formal news.”

Moral Literacy

shared by Joey Martinez on 06 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • Literacy, moral and other, is a matter of some knowledge-that, and a great deal of know-how.  It is a "capacity for knowing and doing, involving the symbolic manipulation of information as the condition for expressive action" (81).  To discover the connection between this capacity or set of skills and Herman's account of deliberation and choice, we have to look to what she says about the developmental history of moral character.

      1) Content - The content on this page is good. It can be easily read and understood. The layout allows it to be read while still adding adds for other related articles. It was uploaded 3/15 and updated later the same day. 2) Credibility - The Author itself I'm not familiar with, but it also appears to be an article by Reuters. Reuters is an organization that a lot of news agencies use and are widely trusted. 3) Critical Thinking - Because of their references and ties to Reuters you can with most certainly use critical thinking to assume this page is legitimate. 4) Copyright - The website it's self only says 2014 for the copyright. But this article itself was uploaded 3/15/14. Because of their copyright it can be assumed that this article is covered by it. 5) Citation - They do use some outside images and the text itself is from Reuters. But they credit them on the page so there is no infringement. 6) Continuity - This page can only be physically edited by the Huffington Post staff. So the continuity is withheld without errors. 7) Censorship - Because this page is moderated by Huffington post themselves there is a chance that it is edited. Also the comments system seem to be moderated in the regard that you can post what you want but if you offend someone the site admin can take it down. 8) Connectivity - The connectivity to the page is good. Many users can access it at the same time and it can be used as a jumping off point to either paid supported products or additional articles written by Huffington Post. 9) Comparability - You could take the information on this page and check it against numerous sources. I checked Google and came up with many results that either cite the beginning article or copy this article directly. 10) - Context - The context of this page is really good. They maintain the stance that Heineken and Sam Adams are taking without passing judgment, in support or not, for either the companies or the parade organize

      1) Content - The content in this article is remarkably good. It seems fair and unbiased and is written as a serious post. It provides details on the facts and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the loss of this plane 2) Credibility - CNN by itself is a reliable source. But also they provide links to outside articles on the page to corroborate their posting of the story. 3) Critical Thinking - Based on the information in the article you can deduce a lot about the plane and the issues with the search. I helps you think by mentioning important details and providing links to search for more information. 4) Copyright - This page itself was copyrighted in 2014. This article itself was posted on Sun March 16th, 2014. Meaning that it was updated today. 5) Citation - This site cites its references and provides links to them for additional information. 6) Continuity - Because of CNN's informational network this site can be updated within hours if not minutes. This up to date information provides room for new information to enter the article. 7) Censorship - This is posted and maintained by CNN so there is most likely some degree of censorship. But the comments can be posted immediately. However, if your post is tagged as offensive they will remove it. 8) Connectivity - This site is vastly interconnected both with corresponding articles on CNN.com and outside articles. It's easy to use and Easy to navigate. 9) Comparability - This page can be compared to many other pages. In fact, this article is the center of many websites referencing its information for reposting. 10) - Context - The scope of this page in context is a little biased. It tries to hint at the fact that the plane could have been hijacked and focuses on that speculation only giving a slight reference that the Ministry of Transportation has said that they aren't pursuing it that way but are looking into all of the information on why it deviated.

      1) Content - The intent of the content was to demonstrate the encroaching illness of Rev Fred Phelps. 2) Credibility - This seems to be a fairly credible source as the write (Doyle Murphy) also writes for the New York Daily News. 3) Critical Thinking - I am familiar with Rev Fred Phelps SR. from watching the protests of his church group on the internet. That being said, I have also seen numerous false death reports. Because of his (and his organization') reputation it is possible that someone is lying to create disbelief. 4) Copyright - The site itself was copyrighted in 2013, but this article itself was uploaded Sunday, March 16, 2014, 1:53 PM 5) Citation - This article includes citations from where it received the information and pictures. They also provide links in the article to easily access the original text. 6) Continuity - This article can be updated but only by the site admins itself. That means that it most likely has the most accurate information. 7) Censorship - This article appears completely uncensored. It includes some graphic language and images. Because of these points I can deduce that the facts are not altered. Also there is a moderated comments section but those posts appear uncensored 8) Connectivity - The site was easy to find and navigate to. It can handle multiple users at a time without issue. It contains links to the other parts of the page depending on if you want to continue reading on a different topic. 9) Comparability - I checked a couple different websites to see if they had a similar article. And they do. By checking other sites I can confirm that this is most likely a fact. 10) - Context - The context in this article tries very hard to just be neutral and factual about a man with such a horrible reputation. It does so decently, but the comments at the bottom do not. They are as inflammatory as some of the protest signs Fred Phelps is commonly known for. Web Page Evaluation: Currency - 10, Content

  • 1. ContentWhat is the intent of the content? Are the title and author identified? Is the content "juried"? Is the content "popular" or "scholarly", satiric or serious? What is the date of the document or article? Is the "edition" current? Do you have the latest version? (Is this important?) How do you know?
  • 2. CredibilityIs the author identifiable and reliable? Is the content credible? Authoritative? Should it be? What is the purpose of the information, that is, is it serious, satiric, humorous? Is the URL extension .edu, .com, .gov or .org? What does this tell you about the "publisher"?
  • 3. Critical ThinkingHow can you apply critical thinking skills, including previous knowledge and experience, to evaluate Internet resources? Can you identify the author, publisher, edition, etc. as you would with a "traditionally" published resource? What criteria do you use to evaluate Internet resources?
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 4. CopyrightEven if the copyright notice does not appear prominently, someone wrote, or is responsible for, the creation of a document, graphic, sound or image, and the material falls under the copyright conventions. "Fair use" applies to short, cited excerpts, usually as an example for commentary or research. Materials are in the "public domain" if this is explicitly stated. Internet users, as users of print media, must respect copyright.
  • 5. CitationInternet resources should be cited to identify sources used, both to give credit to the author and to provide the reader with avenues for further research. Standard style manuals (print and online) provide some examples of how to cite Internet documents, although standards have not vet been formally established.
  • 6. ContinuityWill the Internet site be maintained and updated? Is it now and will it continue to be free? Can you rely on this source over time to provide up-to-date information? Some good .edu sites have moved to .com, with possible cost implications. Other sites offer partial use for free, and charge fees for continued or in-depth use
  • Is your discussion list "moderated"? What does this mean? Does your search engine or index look for all words or are some words excluded? Is this censorship? Does your institution, based on its mission, parent organization or space limitations, apply some restrictions to Internet use? Consider censorship and privacy issues when using the Internet.
  • If more than one user will need to access a site, consider each user's access and "functionality". How do users connect to the Internet and what kind of connection does the assigned resource require? Does access to the resource require a graphical user interface? If it is a popular (busy) resource, will it be accessible in the time frame needed? Is it accessible by more than one Internet tool? Do users have access to the same Internet tools and applications? Are users familiar with the tools and applications? Is the site "viewable" by all Web browsers?
  • Does the Internet resource have an identified comparable print or CD ROM data set or source? Does the Internet site contain comparable and complete information? (For example, some newspapers have partial but not full text information on the Internet.) Do you need to compare data or statistics over time? Can you identify sources for comparable earlier or later data? Comparability of data may or may not be important, depending on your project.
  • What is the context for your research? Can you find "anything" on your topic, that is, commentary, opinion, narrative, statistics and your quest will be satisfied? Are you looking for current or historical information? Definitions? Research studies or articles? How does Internet information fit in the overall information context of your subject? Before you start searching, define the research context and research needs and decide what sources might be best to use to successfully fill information needs without data overload.

  • By 8 p.m., three hours after the F.B.I. released the suspects’ photos, angry messages began to appear on the Tripathi’s Facebook page, and at 8:15 Ravi received a phone call from a reporter at ABC News in New York, who asked if Sunil had been spotted in Boston and if Ravi had seen the F.B.I. photos of Suspect No. 2. Ravi, unclear at what she was getting at, told her there had been no word from Sunil.

  • At 2:43 a.m., a Twitter user named Greg Hughes (@ghughesca), who was previously tweeting things like, “In 2013, all you need [is] a connection to the Boston police scanner and a Twitter feed to know what’s up. We don’t even need TV anymore,”
  • Seven minutes later, Kevin Galliford, a journalist for a TV station in Hartford, relayed the same information to his own followers; Galliford’s tweet was retweeted more than 1,000 times in a matter of minutes.
  • Andrew Kaczynski, a journalist at BuzzFeed, who sent out the police-scanner misinformation to his 81,000 followers
  • @YourAnonNews, a Twitter news feed connected to the hacker collective Anonymous, tweeted out Tripathi’s name to the hundreds of thousands of people
  • Roughly 300 Twitter users retweeted Malinowski’s second post on the subject, including the pop-culture blogger Perez Hilton, who sent Sunil Tripathi’s name out to more than six million followers.
  • Reddit enjoyed record-breaking traffic numbers during the Boston coverage, and the company has always considered itself “content agnostic,” meaning that as long as what’s being posted is legal, Reddit will not intervene and take it down.
  • @YourAnonNews is very likely to surpass the Twitter following of most major American newspapers. The account is followed by hundreds of journalists, myself included. For those who dream of a post-Snowden utopia where no government and corporate secrets are protected, @YourAnonNews is one of the only trustworthy news sources out there.

      very good search criteria here. explains how to narrow your search and validify information
  • What sources does the author cite, and what do others say about those sources?
  • Education, media-literacy-wise, is happening now after school and on weekends and when the teacher isn't looking, in the SMS messages, MySpace pages, blog posts, podcasts, videoblogs that technology-equipped digital natives exchange among themselves.

  • At that point, I saw education – the means by which young people learn the skills necessary to succeed in their place and time – as diverging from schooling.
  • chools will remain places for parents to put their kids while they go to work, and for society to train a fresh supply of citizen-worker-consumers to be employed by the industries of their time.
  • But the kind of questioning, collaborative, active, lateral rather than hierarchical pedagogy that participatory media both forces and enables is not the kind of change that takes place quickly or at all in public schools.
  • someone needs to educate children about the necessity for critical thinking and encourage them to exercise their own knowledge of how to make moral choices.
  • the basic moral values – is supposed to be what their parents and their religions are responsible for.
  • But the teachable skill of knowing how to make decisions based on those values has become particularly important now that a new medium suddenly connects young people to each other and to the world's knowledge in ways no previous generation experienced.

      anything can be learned by researching on the internet and proper wordings. as long as you know whats going to give you the truest results.

      the ability to differentiate between right and wrong is a huge deal when researching and trying to find good knowledge.. for example if you where to type "blow up" in google you would get all kinds of "JuNK" if you were to specify a noun in the search you could exponentially narrow your "junk" results. "Right vs. Wrong" isnt always pertaining to internet pornography. as said in this article. the principles behind it are what matters as well as your ability to use them.
  • e teach our kids how to cross the street and what to be careful about in the physical world. And now parents need to teach their kids how to exercise good sense online. It's really no more technical than reminding your children not to give out their personal information to strangers on the telephone or the street. When it comes to helping them learn how to be citizens in a democracy, media literacy education is central to 21st century civic education.
  • At the same time that emerging media challenge the ability of old institutions to change, I think we have an opportunity today to make use of the natural enthusiasm of today's young digital natives for cultural production as well as consumption, to help them learn to use the media production and distribution technologies now available to them to develop a public voice about issues they care about.
  • The media available to adolescents today, from videocameraphones to their own websites, to laptop computers, to participatory media communities like MySpace and Youtube, are orders of magnitude more powerful than those available in the age of the deskbound, text-only Internet and dial-up speeds.
  • Those young people who can afford an Internet-connected phone or laptop are taking to the multimedia web on their own accord by the millions– MySpace gets Google-scale traffic and Youtube serves one hundred million videos a day.
  • Although the price of entry is dropping, there is still an economic divide; nevertheless, the online population under the age of 20 is significant enough for Rupert Murdoch to spend a quarter billion dollars to buy MySpace.

  • A trademark is a brand name. A trademark or service mark includes any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used or intended to be used to identify and distinguish the goods/services of one seller or provider from those of others, and to indicate the source of the goods/services.  Although federal registration of a mark is not mandatory, it has several advantages, including notice to the public of the registrant's claim of ownership of the mark, legal presumption of ownership nationwide, and exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration

  • Airbnb -- the home rental site -- was one of those leaders. It waived its normal fees for hosts -- those whose homes weren't physically affected and were willing to open their homes to those in need -- and guests -- those who were left without electricity, heat, running water, or even homes.

      The Airbnb home rental site allowed a simple method of relief for those whose homes were affected by the superstorm. 
  • GILT, the popular flash sales site, launched "Donate Today, Save Tomorrow" -- which "enables people from all over the world to make a donation to one of six established charity relief efforts.
  • Crowdtilt, a crowd-funding site, also waived any fees associated with raising money to help those affected by Sandy

  • The New York Tech Meetup (NYTM), which has a membership of more than 28,000 techies, also did their part by building a database of volunteers willing to donate their technical skills to small businesses, non-profits, schools and governmental organizations. One of the projects NYTM is working on is called NeedMapper -- a site that connects those affected by Sandy with volunteers who can help.
  • SandyBaggers, a group founded by local tech entrepreneurs, organized hundreds of volunteers to provide relief to Sandy victims in some of the hardest hit areas

web-based tools

  • The purpose of this work is to explore distance learning related tools to determine if they can provide an enhanced learning environment for nuclear education. In this work, a set of tools are examined that can be used to augment or replace the traditional lecture method. These tools are Mediasite, Adobe Connect, Elluminate, and Camtasia. All four tools have recording capabilities that allow the students to experience the exchange of information in different ways.

    This article explains the use of web-based tools for online eduction of nuclear engineers, but the information is relevant to Full Sail students as well. In the article they evaluate several web based tools but the interesting thing is that in order for the students to use the tools effectively the teachers must be comfortable with the use of these tools.
