Why the Positive Effects of Internet Use Outweigh the Bad - 7 views

  • Before we get onto the positive effects of internet use, let’s start with these much touted negative side effects.

      reduction to absurdity
    • Yingpeng Wu
       
      before we talk about the positive effect, we first talk something about negetive.
  • The same things were said about rock music when records were at their most popular, and about televisions when they were first invented.
    • Yingpeng Wu
       
      This is an Analogy: The comparison of among the Internet, rock music, and television. They are popular and controversial (with negative effects).
  • There are also positive effects of internet usage in business.
    • Yingpeng Wu
       
      Exemplification: Provide an example of good effect in business.

  • anyone can make money online . With the ‘One Child One Laptop’ scheme that’s heading to Africa, and the large-scale attempts to provide the continent with a secure internet connection this could see one of the largest continents joining us online to share their views and earn themselves some money. This will give them access to all the education they could need as well as the resources they’d need to make the most of that. Many of them could see themselves working their way out of poverty – and online they can expect the same wages as other continents as its faceless nature eradicates discrimination. One of the positive effects of internet use then is that it could help some people in escaping from the poverty trap.
    • Yingpeng Wu
       
      this is another example for good effect of the Internet which is everyone can use the Internet making money.
  • Destroying industry and providing a place for these deviant ‘subcultures’ to converse? Those too are perhaps the most positive effects of internet use. These are the things that promise to change the way politics and business work forever and potentially usher in a new age of supreme democracy and resources. Granted, there are some sub groups online that we’d probably rather there weren’t, but at least if they’re online they can talk to each other and leave us alone. Other ‘subcultures’ however simply reflect different ways of thinking – and the internet gives them an open forum to freely express themselves, something that everyone has a right to do.

      This is a Paradox: the Internet can make deviant live normal

Teaching in Social and Technological Networks « Connectivism - 0 views

  • Technological networks have transformed prominent businesses sectors: music, television, financial, manufacturing. Social networks, driven by technological networks, have similarly transformed communication, news, and personal interactions. Education sits at the social/technological nexus of change – primed for dramatic transformative change. In recent posts, I’ve argued for needed systemic innovation. I’d like focus more specifically on how teaching is impacted by social and technological networks.
  • social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher. Networks thin classroom walls. Experts are no longer “out there” or “over there”. Skype brings anyone, from anywhere, into a classroom. Students are not confined to interacting with only the ideas of a researcher or theorist. Instead, a student can interact directly with researchers through Twitter, blogs, Facebook, and listservs. The largely unitary voice of the traditional teacher is fragmented by the limitless conversation opportunities available in networks. When learners have control of the tools of conversation, they also control the conversations in which they choose to engage.
  • Course content is similarly fragmented. The textbook is now augmented with YouTube videos, online articles, simulations, Second Life builds, virtual museums, Diigo content trails, StumpleUpon reflections, and so on.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Thoughts, ideas, or messages that the teacher amplifies will generally have a greater probability of being seen by course participants.
  • The following are roles teacher play in networked learning environments: 1. Amplifying 2. Curating 3. Wayfinding and socially-driven sensemaking 4. Aggregating 5. Filtering 6. Modelling 7. Persistent presence
  • Views of teaching, of learner roles, of literacies, of expertise, of control, and of pedagogy are knotted together. Untying one requires untying the entire model.
  • The curator, in a learning context, arranges key elements of a subject in such a manner that learners will “bump into” them throughout the course. Instead of explicitly stating “you must know this”, the curator includes critical course concepts in her dialogue with learners, her comments on blog posts, her in-class discussions, and in her personal reflections.
  • I found my way through personal trial and error. Today’s social web is no different – we find our way through active exploration. Designers can aid the wayfinding process through consistency of design and functionality across various tools, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the individual to click/fail/recoup and continue.
  • Fortunately, the experience of wayfinding is now augmented by social systems.
  • Sensemaking in complex environments is a social process.
  • Perhaps we need to spend more time in information abundant environments before we turn to aggregation as a means of making sense of the landscape.
  • magine a course where the fragmented conversations and content are analyzed (monitored) through a similar service. Instead of creating a structure of the course in advance of the students starting (the current model), course structure emerges through numerous fragmented interactions. “Intelligence” is applied after the content and interactions start, not before.
  • Aggregation should do the same – reveal the content and conversation structure of the course as it unfolds, rather than defining it in advance.
  • Filtering resources is an important educator role, but as noted already, effective filtering can be done through a combination of wayfinding, social sensemaking, and aggregation. But expertise still matters. Educators often have years or decades of experience in a field. As such, they are familiar with many of the concepts, pitfalls, confusions, and distractions that learners are likely to encounter.
  • To teach is to model and to demonstrate. To learn is to practice and to reflect.”
  • Apprenticeship learning models are among the most effective in attending to the full breadth of learning.
  • Without an online identity, you can’t connect with others – to know and be known. I don’t think I’m overstating the importance of have a presence in order to participate in networks. To teach well in networks – to weave a narrative of coherence with learners – requires a point of presence. As a course progresses, the teacher provides summary comments, synthesizes discussions, provides critical perspectives, and directs learners to resources they may not have encountered before.
  •  
    Here are some additional thoughts that relate to my teaching approach in courses.

      Overall website layout is simple and accessible. Colors of different shades of green and blue are chosen to represent the colors of the Earth. The information you need to know are grouped into categories, and phone numbers are displayed at top. Font size and font text are simple as it represents the environment of simplicity and cleanliness. The logo, looks like a part of a continent of the globe with recycling logo in the middle, same colors of green,blue and white are also used.
  • The Cities of Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody have already implemented residential organics collection programs.
  • The strategy is broad-based, targeting increased materials efficiencies in businesses, local economic development through "resource recovery" and public policy renewal to facilitate the development of a zero waste economy
  • RDN banned commercial food waste from the landfill. A commercial food waste diversion program involving businesses and organizations diverts more than 6,000 tonnes of food waste and organic compostables annually from the landfill.

      This is a Canadian website, but the Heart and Stroke Foundations recognizes that heart disease can affect anyone and that Canada is a multicultural country. So they have included resources in other languages to accommodate more readers. (ethos)
    • Antonia Gujinovic
       
      This box of info is an appeal to emotions. Not only is it stating what the #1 killer of women is, but it is listing what women are. Grandmothers, mothers, wives, daughters and sisters. This takes the reader from thinking about a woman in general to making the reader think of their own mother, sister, wife, daughter or grandmother.
    • Antonia Gujinovic
       
      The three short words "Make Death Wait" are very impact-full. Just the name of the campaign appeals to the emotions before even knowing what the campaign is about. We all know death is inevitable and that for some it happens sooner than it should. So the thought of making something inevitable wait gives hope.

      I think this is a mistake because the waste of research and resources is quite large. It is useless at that mileage range, therefore efforts in electric car technology advancement shouldn't be towards the most energy consuming cars. Efforts should be concentrated towards efficiency as opposed to brute force. That will eventually lead to this unreasonable attempt.
