The internet has opened new paths for teaching about power, feminism, & technology. It has also expanded surveillance. What does this mean for students and educators? Join us in exploring some of the many digital technologies we use to guide people in seeing 'through' the internet.

3. We are always watched by governments & corporations.
We are watched by our academic institutions.
We also watch each other.
This is what we mean by
‘education inside the panopticon.’
So, what does this mean for educators & students?

Kiem & Darshan

7. Goals...
Because we like to meet them.
● Model & describe our workshop approach.
● Introduce the concept of seeing ‘through’ the internet.
● Share a few digital platforms that promote curiosity & more
open learning exchanges.

9. What does it mean to see ‘through’ the internet?
Or, what is informed participation in the
panopticon? For us, it means seeing the internet
as neither free nor fully open.
We pay with our time.
We pay with our personal information.
We pay by purchasing smartphones & data plans.
We even pay when we can’t : we become outsiders.

10. Plus, the internet doesn’t hold all the
world’s knowledge.
What we share online is a small fraction
of our knowledge, sensing, & experience.
Yes, we the internet.
We also love real cats,
not just videos and photos of cats.
@eddiegilmour

11. we love questions. in fact, we organize our
workshops around questions.
what does it mean to
see ‘through’ the internet?
people are curious creatures. yes? and we are
smarter & more engaged when
working together.

12. What We Know
● Technology is part of education, & learning happens everywhere.
● There is no outside to surveillance.
● We do not know the full implications of mass internet surveillance.
● For many people, digital technologies make learning more pleasurable.
● Many people are using the internet to share their unique knowledge &
change society for the better.

13. @pernillanilla @cemkizitug @mayforceone

14. What We Do
● Research digital tools for use in diverse learning environments.
● Facilitate interactive workshops that promote digital literacy.
● Use gameplay & teamwork to foster deeper learning.

15. Here, we present & explore some of the many tools we use to guide
folks in seeing 'through' the internet to find deeper, more
authentic connections between living people.
For us, tech is a tool.
yes, we have
a no tech
option!

16. Digital Platforms for Curious People:
1. Storybird
2. Poll Everywhere
3. Padlet
And we won’t go over them here, but we are using these tools too:
4. Smore
5. TinyURL
6. i-am-cc.org
7. Google Presentations

17. Introducing… Storybird!
We gain the deepest and most lasting knowledge when we switch
between learning methods.
This is the beauty of Storybird. (And the reason why video games are
awesome, & lectures tend to be boring.)
Storybird brings writers, artists, & readers together. Users can look
at images & combine them to craft a story. Or, writers can use the site to search for
images that convey their meaning.

18. @deluxphoto @txemacg @azurefjord

19. Storybird raises many issues for us as educators.
A Big Plus: Contributing artists retain copyright and earn 30-50% of the
royalties from print editions, which users can buy on the site.
A Big Minus: Storybird markets to children and commercializes the
classroom. It pushes families to purchase snazzy print editions.
End Story? We don’t recommend Storybird for use in traditional
classrooms, especially with younger learners. We use it in other sites, like this
conference.

21. Introducing…. Poll Everywhere!
Not everybody owns a smartphone! Plus, Twitter is tied to an
account.
Poll Everywhere allows people with SMS (translation: short
message service) devices such as cell phones to share their ideas
more anonymously.
Caution: Keep in mind that posting might cost money; it depends
on the data plan on the user.

22. Introducing…. Padlet!
Perhaps you are in a room where many folks have
computers, other smart devices, and WIFI. Padlet
might be a better option for soliciting feedback more
anonymously. And, we'll be honest, it is the pretty one!

23. Let’s do it!
So, is academic discourse getting you down?
What does it mean to teach inside the
panopticon?
How can we see ‘through’ the internet?

24. Here are three ways to share
more anonymously.
1. Write your ideas on paper.
● We will post your comments
before the day is over.
3. Post to Poll Everywhere.
● Take our your cell phone.
● Go to your text messaging app.
● Create a new message to 22333.
● In the body of the message, text
540665 & your message.
● Send!
2. Post to Padlet.
● Go to <tinyurl.com/panopticon2>
● Double click on the wall.
● Post!

28. About TinyURL: Because many
websites have long URLs
(translation: uniform resource
locator AKA web address), we
suggest using TinyURL and
generating a custom alias such as

29. "Set your Instagram free!" i-am-cc.org gives
Instagram users a platform to release their images
under a creative commons license. What is creative
commons licensing and the larger creative commons
movement? CC encourages users to liberate their
creations or communicate which rights they reserve &
waive when sharing stuff online. If you see an '@' sign
below an image on this page or in our workshops, it is
an image we found on i-am-cc.org. We this
website & its many users!

30. This curriculum is open for remixing! We want you to
use our stuff. We think it makes learning & teaching more fun,
more useful, & more relevant. Here are our terms:
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon our work
even for commercial purposes, as long as you credit us and
license your new creations under the identical terms.
