Here Lies: New Z. Paper – Killed by the Intern Ed, 2008

twodonutsmakeinfinity on February 24, 2019February 24, 2019

Something that I always bring up in a conversation about the advancement of technology is the death of newspaper. It’s no secret that the new generation of “kids” prefer to get their news (along with other trending topics) immediately from the internet. The daily newspaper can only offer the news of yesterday, whereas on the internet you can get the news of… 2 minutes ago. Isn’t that wild? Well, I guess nothing technology-wise really surprises anyone, anymore. When was the […]

Making time

NomadWarMachine on February 23, 2019February 23, 2019

However busy I am, I try to make time for two daily rituals – one the DS106 Daily Create, a daily challenge open to anyone to participate as they wish, the other a Daily Doodle prompt I’ve been following for some time with my CLMooc friends. I glory in all my tools – my pens, my crayons, my paper, my inks. Old friends and new friends, as Terry says. Micron pens to outline (sometimes with a pencil first). Crayons for […]

Missing: Online Etiquette – Have You Seen Me?

twodonutsmakeinfinity on February 23, 2019February 23, 2019

Despite having a short class, we seem to have touched upon a few important points that are worth repeating here. The major part for me was Dr. Zamora’s recount of dealing with anger. It made me truly realize the aspect that bothers the most of us about online world; it’s our own primitive nature reflected on computer screen like a mirror. It is no secret that people, in general, do not enjoy seeing the primitive nature of humanity, yet it […]

karelnavyblue on February 21, 2019April 1, 2019

URL to article: https://brianclifton.com/blog/2013/03/06/online-privacy-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/ This article talks in-depth about how users of the internet are more likely than not to already be losing their privacy as they constantly visit websites, or software, that collects their data anonymously through the installing of 3-party cookies, and plugins on their systems or devices. Some of these websites highlighted on this article are some of the most popular today, such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google, and Sharethis. It is not surprising that […]

[Fieldguide] Post summary on ‘Meet the Internet’s FIRST responders to security emergencies’

karelnavyblue on February 21, 2019April 1, 2019

URL to article: https://internethealthreport.org/2018/meet-the-internets-first-responders-to-security-emergencies/ This article tackles on a darker side to data tracking. In this case, it addresses what happens when something goes wrong with the data collected. As example, this article tells a story (real life) about an event that happened at an university, where the system was hacked by an unknown person or party. This school, as part of the nowadays-common data collection trend on its students and staff, had such important data stolen by the hacker […]

Found this and felt the need to get back into it. Some annotations and here’s a poem that rises up in the process: Annotate? Navigate? Negotiate? Matters not. Just touch and play upon Each stone and back to home base. How Behavior Spreads by Damon Centola

The ‘Fours Moves’ That Will Keep You In Reality Online

karelnavyblue on February 20, 2019February 20, 2019

This week we expanded more on the previous topic of ‘what’s fake or real on the internet’. Last time we looked closely at the example of an event that was shared over social media, where a car was parked on top of the center line which divided two parking spaces. Apparently, one of the shoppers was not happy and decided to trap the vehicle, by surrounding it with shopping carts. This brought an interesting topic to talk about in […]

Leighann Soto on February 19, 2019April 1, 2019

This article gives you tips on how to make the most of the app and to also make sure it's safe.https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/youtube-kids-google-reveals-tips-13961673

Using a Pretty Pen and Pencil as a Lever and My Mind as a Fulcrum to the Text: Theoria (thinking), Poiesis (making), & Praxis (Doing)

Field Guide:If I Won’t WebMD it-Don’t WebMD Me!

Marykate's Master Blog on February 19, 2019April 1, 2019

As of now, I want to center my contribution to our Field Guide for surviving the darkness around today's youth. Being a teacher, I find this idea of digital surveillance fascinating, but also discouraging in terms of how to teach my students. They only care about the latest music or what Youtuber said what this week. I struggle with finding the words to make them care about this issue, as they need to be aware of it. During my research on […]
