We can’t rely on people to pass on the best way to do work by word of mouth. Instead, we need to document and share them, before they become lost.

Like Facebook, the Nationwide network enables people to share with groups or friends, with easy access through mobile devices. When workers ask questions of the community, they usually get faster answers than from the help desk or e-mail. Some leaders are now posting quick (less than two minutes) video announcements about new or changed processes, instead of sending e-mail.

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?

3. Critical ThinkingHow can you apply critical thinking skills, including previous knowledge and experience, to evaluate Internet resources?

Can social networking boost literacy skills? - 0 views
-
The answer seems to be that they do. The National Literacy Trust found that social networking sites and blogs help students to develop more positive attitudes toward writing and to become more confident in their writing abilities.
-
49 per cent of young people believe that writing is “boring.” However, students who use technology-based texts such as blogs have more positive attitudes toward writing. Whereas 60 per cent of bloggers say that they enjoy writing, only 40 per cent of non-bloggers find writing enjoyable.

What can you do with digital security | CompuClever - 0 views

Despite a time of global recession, the “Digital Universe” expanded by 62% and by 2020 it will be 44 times as big. We will have amassed digital information that can be described in zettabytes – that is to say, one zettabyte being a million, million gigabytes. This would be the equivalent of a stack of DVD’s going halfway to Mars.

. On January 25, 2011, Egyptians took to the streets in Cairo, Alexandria, and some other places in the so called Day of Revolt, concentrating their grievances on legal and political matters. Rather than a typical small protest, the Day of Revolt exploded into a monumental moment in Egypt's history because of social media. Social media did not cause Egypt's revolution; however, it accelerated the movement. Viral videos, such as Asmaa Mahfouz's, and the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia created a surge of emotion in Egyptians, persuading them to protest. Egyptian protestors used Facebook and Twitter to get people out on the streets within the country and YouTube to let the world know what was happening. By using tools that the regime underestimated, activists were able to spread hope, not only to Egyptians, but also worldwide, encouraging other repressed populations to attempt something similar in their countries. Because of the protests, President Mubarak stepped down and turned his power over to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces; however, at the time of publication, protests continue in an effort to speed the process of what many Egyptians see as extinguishing the last remnants of the old regime. Without social media allowing Egyptians to communicate with the outside world, the government would have been able to quickly suppress the protests.

Role of Social Media in the Revolution Philip Howard (2011) quoted an activist in Cairo as saying, "We use Facebook to schedule the protests, Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tell the world." This statement sums up the use of social media in the protest. Newsweek.com offers a collection of videos that are posted chronologically: http://www.newsweek.com/2011/01/28/youtube-captures-scenes-from-egypt-protests.html. Newsweek calls it the Facebook Revolt; in fact, it could also be called the Twitter Revolution, the first of its kind. However, not everyone agrees with the Facebook Revolution concept. Malcom Gladwell believes that the influence of social media is limited, and the revolutions would have happened anyway: "I mean, in cases where there are no tools of communication, people still get together. So I don't see that as being… in looking at history, I don't see the absence of efficient tools of communication as being a limiting factor on the ability of people to socially organize" (Ingram, 2011).

Are You a Digital Native or a Digital Immigrant? - Big Design Events - 1 views

Avoiders. This group consists of people, who are born during the digital age, and do not desire new technology. They are not enamored with Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, or Hulu. For example, I know a 14-year old, who prefers to paint portraits. She owns an iPad, only because her school books are on it. She only watches public television. She sings in the church choir. She is very happy. Minimalists. This group is aware that digital technology is a part of their daily life. They choose to interact with only the most interesting things to them personally. For example, I know a young person who does not have a Twitter account and avoids Facebook. She is not a gamer. She sends emails and downloads books to her Kindle. Enthusiastic Participants. This group is the largest group of Digital Natives. Like their Digital Immigrant cousins the Eager Adopters, Enthusiastic Participants embrace and use all forms of digital technology. This group prefers texting and tweeting over sending out email blasts. They are aware of the latest technology, trends, and tools. Their online and offline lives are blending together.
