  Hey everyone,
  
  So for this Monday's presentation I am going to focus on the following 4 articles:
  
  1) Causer ad Wallace "Building a Volunteer Community"
  2) Losh "Hacktivism and the Humanities"
  3)Segeberg and Bennett "Social Media and the Organization of Collective Action"
  4) DeLuca "Occupy Wall Street on the public Screens of Social Media"
  
  Feel free to draw on all of the readings in discussion but these will be the main focus of the presentation.
  
  Also, a reminder to bring your laptops to class to participate in the crowdsource activity. I will explain later in class, and we can post our comments here.
  
  Thanks and see you Monday,
  
  -Christina

  Hi Ridha,
  
  I did not get a chance to post this until now! Here it is:

  My two questions were to try and get the class to write their own definitions of crowdsourcing and community at the beginning and at the end of the presentation to see how my presentation might have changed their definitions.
  
  Here were mine:
  
  1) Crowdsourcing (before readings): The use of the internet to complete a task that would normally be completed by one person that would be very time consuming ie. crowdsourcing a book.
  2) Community (before readings): A group of individuals who are personally invested to work together to finish a project or common goal. ie a family genealogy project.
  
  1) Crowdsourcing (after readings/presentation): The use of different forms of digital collaboration to complete a project or political initiative in fast and timely matter. Digital collaborations can include a variety of social media: twitter, facebook, blogs etc. However, academic collaborations can be in the form of an online database such as Transcribe Bentham.
  2) Community (after readings/presentation): Individuals who are either intellectually, personally/emotionally invested in completing a digital project or using social media to gain political awareness. These tend to be the people directly benefiting from the outcomes of the crowdsourcing.

  1) Crowdsourcing (before preso): Crowdsourcing is creating a pool of like-minded people engaged in similar or overlapping fields from which practitioners from a variety of disciplines can draw from to further develop and explore their own projects / ideas.
  
  1) Crowdsourcing (after preso): Crowdsourcing is creating a digitally accessible reservoir of skilled/ knowledgeable individuals, or groups of individuals, which can drawn from by other individuals or groups in order to gain technical, practical, or theoretical assistance on whichever project it is they're working.
  
  
  2) Community is notifying a complete stranger when their zipper is down, with the hope that if the situation were reversed, they'd do the same.
