Towards a radical digital citizenship in digital education - 0 views

  •  
    Critical Studies in Education: Vol 60, No 1 In this article, we attempt to define and explore a concept of 'radical digital citizenship' and its implications for digital education. We argue that the 'digital' and its attendant technologies are constituted by on-going materialist struggles for equality and justice in the Global South and North which are erased in the dominant literature and debates in digital education. We assert the need for politically informed understandings of the digital, technology and citizenship and for a 'radical digital citizenship' in which critical social relations with technology are made visible and emancipatory technological practices for social justice are developed.

When to Teach Online Classes Live and When to Let Students Learn on Demand | EdSurge News - 0 views

    This article is part of the guide https://www.edsurge.com/research/guides/sustaining-higher-education-in-the-coronavirus-crisis Experts in online teaching have been debating and researching the question of synchronous versus asynchronous for decades. Since the 1990s and the rise of online video conferencing, though, it has been possible for educators to choose which activities in their distance-education courses to conduct synchronously and which to leave as asynchronous. The overall advice from experts is to mix both formats in any given class.

Apple is Moving to ARM Processors. Should Filmmakers Go With Them? - 0 views

  • But if you work largely in Premiere or Resolve, it's a trickier conversation. Adobe and Blackmagic Design will obviously roll out ARM versions of their software the same way there are currently for Intel, Mac, and Linux versions, and a lot of the benefits of moving to ARM will still play out there. But you do run the risk of some of your favorite plugins, or small workflow apps, not immediately working.
  • The issue with Rosetta is that it will inevitably slow things down, since it is setting up a layer of interpretation between the application and the system architecture, and that takes time to process.
  • Apple will also allow you to keep using those older applications using a tool called Rosetta 2, calling back to the original Rosetta which did the same job for the PowerPC-to-x86 switch.

  • Developers will work to get their software ready for ARM Macs, and for those that don't, new replacements will appear that might not have otherwise. This is a moment for refreshing workflows, and you will likely discover that you get introduced to a whole host of new tools through the transition.
  • Because the architecture is different, the software running on it needs to be optimized for it, which has slowed down adoption so far outside of the mobile space. While Microsoft did release a version of Windows for ARM years ago, it didn't take off, and this move from Apple to put macOS on ARM is a massive transition for the computing industry.
  • Apple says the first ARM Macs, a 13" MacBook Pro and a 24" iMac, will ship this fall and the transition will take 2 years. That means we are looking at the very real possibility of an ARM Mac Pro by 2022.

  • Unsure if cameras will act more like smartphones in the future or if smartphones will act more like cameras
  • In the next 5 years, glass will still be superior to computational photography
  • Sony is also working hard to deliver RAW video

  • People want 4k/60p and 10-bit 4:2:2 in the a7SIII

    This is an upgrade to our current Sony a7 (2014 model) - this is something we aren't desperately needing, but good to know that it's coming up.
