  • To that end, supplying attention itself can be an act of complicity in the unethical actions of a platform. The mere act of choosing to look at something online generates real value for a company, materially helping to support its staff, its content, and the social interactions that a platform plays host to. This is why a website like Do Not Link exists: It promises a way to share a link from a website without boosting that site’s standing in search rankings.

  • I don’t want to reward them or contribute in any way to this disgrace by linking to it: Google it if you must.”
  • The choice not to link is therefore a personal moral act
  • The web of information stitched together by an individual as they browse and publish across the Internet is also implicitly a web of support for the content being linked to.
  • Reddit introduces a wrinkle precisely because it is a user-generated platform. For one, no one (yet) has claimed that the individuals contributing racist or sexist content are affiliated with Reddit as employees of the company.
  • platform plays host to a sizable, and perhaps one of the largest, community of racists online.
  • What appears to be relevant in the Reddit case is the notion that the company has exercised a kind of negligence towards the organic behavior emerging on the platform. While Reddit does not create the content or even promote the content, the failure to act makes continued use of the platform tantamount to a moral complicity in the emergent behavior of other users.

password privacy hack wired Honan womenslearningstudio

  • All a hacker has to do is use personal information that’s publicly available on one service to gain entry into another.
  • Since that awful day, I’ve devoted myself to researching the world of online security. And what I have found is utterly terrifying. Our digital lives are simply too easy to crack.
  • The common weakness in these hacks is the password. It’s an artifact from a time when our computers were not hyper-connected. Today, nothing you do, no precaution you take, no long or random string of characters can stop a truly dedicated and devious individual from cracking your account. The age of the password has come to an end; we just haven’t realized it yet.

    An amazing project that utilizes gaming, social media, digital badging, and virtual worlds as methods to promote digital literacy to youth in high risk areas. These after-school programs are designed to "Global Kids believes that youth be not merely critical consumers but active producers of digital media". Kids produce games on social issues impacting them (such as neighborhood violence or racial intolerance) that are designed to teach others about not just about the issue but how it feels to be impacted by the issue.
  • Lisa Levinson on 11 Aug 14
     
    The Global Kids definition of leadership is very in tune with what we have been trying to convey, I think. Here is there goal statement: "The Global Kids Online Leadership Program (OLP) integrates international and public policy issues into digital media programs to encourage digital literacy and technical competency, foster global awareness, promote civic participation and develop 21st Century skills. OLP was created in 2000 to bring new media into Global Kids' after school programs, introduce these programs into online communities, and explore how the combination of the two could develop 21st Century Learning Skills. Through programs utilizing video games, virtual worlds, social media, and other forms of participatory media, youth involved in our programs now have the opportunity to have their voices heard and make a global impact in ways that were previously unimaginable."

  • hy forward thinking? Because I think that hierarchical learning isn’t conducive, in fact is obstructive to creating businesses fit for purpose for innovating within disruption. I think the behaviours it creates slows down people’s learning as they go higher up ‘the ladder’, limits their behavioural flexibility and creates a culture where people are afraid to challenge the status quo. And what do I mean by networked learning? I think this has something to do with letting go of words like ‘expert’ and accepting that we are all learning, all of the time. And I think if we can do this, and ask any question without fear, we can shake things up and make things happen.
  • So how could companies themselves encourage and create a safe environment for networked learning? A few ideas:

  • Organizational Silos
  • Govindarajan recommends focusing on innovation as necessary for survival, convincing employees to work together for a common goal and creating an innovation agenda around which all employees can coalesce. A committee charged with breaking up the silos can develop practices that require communication and collaboration. Increased communication from management and among employers will increase trust and begin to solve the problems.

Social media platforms and mobile will become even more prevalent (including ones that we don’t even know about yet) and nonprofit leaders must carve out time to understand these trends and act now to remain relevant with their base of supporters.
  • Make your website, signup forms, and donation forms mobile responsive.

  • Build up your nonprofit’s leadership influence online.
  • The president of your organization may have clout in offline and influential circles including the White House, but online is an entirely different ball game. As more news breaks online, often on Twitter, you want your leadership to be the go-to source for reporters. Guess what? Reporters look for experts on Twitter. If your leadership has no active social media presence, reporters who need facts and interviews ASAP will quickly overlook your senior leadership. I've seen this happen many times. 
  • Test new platforms.
  • If your nonprofit hasn’t tested Medium, try it. It’s a strong community of thought leaders who write and share different perspectives from the arts to climate change.

  • When I ask people close to Zuckerberg how, exactly, he has pulled off these achievements, I don’t hear a lot of anecdotes about him swooping in and personally making genius-level decisions that suddenly changed everything. Instead, they praise his inquisitiveness, persistence, ability to deploy resources, and devotion to improving Facebook and himself. He has a knack for carving up grand plans into small, doable victories. "Most of our conversation was about long-term strategy, and then we’d backtrack from there to what we should do over the next month," says Bret Taylor, who worked as Facebook’s CTO from 2009 to 2012 and who was at the company

  • Often confused with shyness, introversion is an aspect of personality which affects how we engage in social activity and our preferences for learning.
  • ntroverts may prefer to work completely alone and discover their best ideas in solitude. They are likely to be comfortable in a lecture hall; listening and learning without the demands of engaging with others. But what we know about learning suggests that this passive mode of learning has its limitations, so many of us infuse our classrooms with more active learning strategies.
  • So how do we respect introverts’ needs amidst all of this active learning?
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • An activity where students work with a partner is likely to fall within the comfort zone of even the most introverted student, and it still communicates that active participation is both an expectation and a benefit for learning.
  • With time to think, and an opportunity to try an idea out with a partner, some students will be more willing to share with the large group.
  • In small group discussions, introverts typically prefer to listen first, gather their thoughts before they speak, and may be gifted in synthesizing the ideas communicated by others.
  • create at least one personal contact for the introverted student
  • learning and assessment strategies

  • Given some choice and input, students might choose to have their participation grade based on verbal contributions in class, written responses in an online discussion forum, or a series of journals or reflection papers.
