Qué encanto de mujer...

Aqui os dejo un enlace por si estais en Madrid o podeis pasar durante las dos primeras semanas de noviembre en donde se ofertan actividades de tipo cientifico para publico adulto o familiar. Es un modo de hacer "ciencia participativa" porque los cientificos muestran y comparten parte de su experiencia a quien pueda estar interesado.

Sólo era posible apuntarse hasta el 30 de junio :(

BioHacking, the next step in citizen science. Moving from mere participant to more active creator of knowledge.

Participatory culture is the way to go for young people in the 21st century.

Codecademy is the easiest way to learn how to code. It's interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends.

I began at Code Academy last year, and completed various courses. The problem I had was knowing about the architecture and systems behind the code, so, now I am learning to use Command Line and working through FLOSS manuals. I like Code academy, and I may go back there, but not before I have understood Command Line and more specifically what works with Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora etc The thing is, free software development, open source and education for all, begins with Linux OS and whatever branches from that is free to share, iterate and scalable. The trademark socialist, philosophically opposed to the capitalist.

This article is interesting in that it introduces (although repurposes an existing term) the concept of participatory surveillance in the digital age as something a little less sinister than what Manzerolle argues against in his paper for the OK MOOC's 3rd module. Instead of seeing the user as a victim of the commodification of social media as Manzerolle suggests, Albrechtslund instead focuses on the fact that people are offering this information freely. Although this was written in 2008, a couple years before Manzerolle, I think these articles really balance each other. Albrechtslund focuses on the complexities of having a digital identity in a physical world and light-heartedly refers to surveillance as something users are aware of as they participate. Are users also aware of the commodification of their participation? I think many are, and for now users are ok with it. I appreciated Manzerolle's mention of options like Diaspora, which I think as a concept could play an important part of negotiating the tension between data ownership and digital social participation.

I think these types of discussion of the implications of privacy and surveillance need a full module--in each module i keep thinking its something we need to consider. here is a more light hearted take from the humorous news website the Onion: http://www.theonion.com/video/cias-facebook-program-dramatically-cut-agencys-cos,19753/

This reminds me of a point made in Yevgeny Morozov's illustration video -- that dictatorial governments don't necessarily have to torture people to get information; they can simply follow Tweets and Facebook status updates. In the case of Rwanda, American religious social media is painting a picture of the Paul Kagame government that is at odds with what many dissidents in that country report. I agree with koobredaer -- a module on privacy and surveillance would be valuable.

Varios razones para proponer el texto: es una visión crítica de los medios sociales (que vale la pena repasar, aunque no se esté de acuerdo necesariamente con todas las premisas); los vincula con el entorno democrático y de poder, y creo que aporta al texto que nos propusieron como lectura del módulo 3, http://fuchs.uti.at/570/, Against Henry Jenkins. Otra ventaja es que está en español.

No he logrado abrir el documento. Me dice que está "corrupto" y que no se puede abrir. Debe de ser cosa de los tiempos que corren...

Schlitz M, Vieten C, Miller E. Journal of Consciousness Studies. 2010 July-Aug;17(7-8):18-36. "In this paper, we examine how increasing understanding and explicit awareness of social consciousness can develop through transformations in worldview." In order to develop a participatory culture which allows for participation by people from different cultural, educational and political backgrounds to the dominant Western culture in the digital domain, it is argued that Worldview Literacy needs to be cultivated, and tolerance learned for different worldviews. This would facilitate participation by all, and prevent the silencing and exclusion from agency of those from different backgrounds.

BOINC is an open-source software platform where you can choose a project, download the software, and use the idle time on your computer to assist in scientific research. It's not about citizen science, but it's a useful resource for people who are interested in participating in citizen science.
