«Ça fait longtemps que nous demandons la mise en place d'une politique numérique au Québec, mais nous n'en avons pas, a-t-il dit. Il faudrait déterminer quelles données devraient être ouvertes à tous les citoyens et de quelle façon ceux-ci pourraient s'exprimer. »

One of the defining characteristics of digital media is interaction. It enables us to be active, make choices, build connections, express ourselves and exercise a new level of control over our media experiences. But how active is the UK online population really? And how might this change in years to come? With these questions in mind, my team and I conducted a large-scale, long-term investigation into how the UK online population participates using digital media today - from sharing links, to writing blogs and uploading photos. And it revealed a fascinating, and at times, surprising picture.

Il y a longtemps qu'on en parle, qu'on l'attend, que plusieurs l'espèrent même, mais cette fois pourrait être la bonne: nous vivrons vraisemblablement la première vraie campagne électorale 2.0 au Québec très prochainement.

La langue française pose une contrainte aux utilisateurs de Twitter. Est-ce désirable de s'y plier? La richesse de la langue ne passe pas nécessairement par la quantité de signes, mais par son génie. Le vrai danger n'est pas la limite de 140 caractères, c'est l'illusion de croire que notre langue puisse se laisser bloquer par cette contrainte.

There will be people within your organization who will fight against the use of social media and even against the very notion of open innovation. As I wrote in my first book, The Open Innovation Revolution: Essentials, Roadblocks, and Leadership Skills: "Change is frightening to many elements inside the typical organization. Change threatens people's power, their status, their egos, and, in some situations, even their jobs. Change can make someone's expertise obsolete and thereby make them obsolete as well. Because people are afraid of change, innovation efforts often cause the eruption of corporate antibodies that fight to kill innovation and maintain the status quo."

Many business and IT leaders tasked with executing on social-media-based efforts do not place enough emphasis on the "social" aspect of community participation, according to Gartner, Inc. Although numerous organizations have achieved social media success, failure rates are very high because leaders and managers rely too heavily on social technology functionality and often miss the critical design concerns. "Far too many social media endeavors are failing because the managers leading the efforts lack knowledge of the fundamental principles of mass collaboration," said Anthony Bradley, group vice president at Gartner. "Business and IT leaders must understand the basic nature of mass collaboration and how to deliver on its unique value. Like never before, millions of people can simultaneously create content, share experiences, build relationships, and engage in other forms of productive work and meaningful activities."

Technology and the many advances it creates are here to stay. As a teacher you will not be able to get away from teaching with and about technology.

"Medium is designed to allow people to choose the level of contribution they prefer. We know that most people, most of the time, will simply read and view content, which is fine. If they choose, they can click to indicate whether they think something is good, giving feedback to the creator and increasing the likelihood others will see it. Collections give people context and structure to publish their own stories, photos, and ideas. By default, the highest-rated posts show up at the top, helping people get the most out of their time in this world of infinite information."
