Social Media …Social Networking

Social networking sites are online

others using a range of social media
tools including blogs, video, images,

messaging.

But the old way has problems….
1. Too many websites to visit http://www.stumbleupon.com/
2. Difficult to organize emails and attachments
3. Only companies and organizations have a “voice.”

The Curated Experience,
Convergent Devices & Net Neutrality
http://counternotions.com/2010/05/17/curation/
How convergent devices overthrew civilization!

21.
Is Curation Ok? How do you feel about that?

22.
“Perhaps the most pernicious proposition of
the “everything must be open” crusade is the
notion that curation is bad and anti-freedom.
Soldiers of this crusade confuse freedom
with competition. Our museums are not
Apple, unlike Android,
football-field sized warehouses where art
curates it software
offerings. For instance, objects are indiscriminately dumped and our
magazines and blogs are not amorphous
there are no porn aps
at the Apple store. Is
containers of randomly selected articles. Our
this a good or bad
classrooms, restaurants, hospitals and
thing?
indeed all our civilized institutions are firmly
reliant on curation of one kind or another.
The goal should be for curators to compete,
not for curation to be declared illegal and
unholy by the “open” zealots.” ~ Kontra

23.
Who’s behind the curtain?
“Just as Adobe is desperately trying to yell at the world, “Don’t
buy into Apple’s walled garden, get locked into our own
proprietary Flash,” so is Google trying to misdirect consumers’
attention from its own monopolistic sins to Apple’s mobile
platform where 100 million users voted with their own money
to enjoy 200,000 apps. The evil man behind the curtain in this
scenario is not Apple’s curation, it’s the frightening prospect
of Google getting cut off from search and ad revenue derived
from its naked domination of the search box on top of your
web browser. That, unfortunately, doesn’t sound like an
appealing public cry, hence the “Curated Computing”
misdirection whining.”

24.
Why it matters!
Most of today’s educational content comes in textbooks, which
Bryan Polivka likens to CDs in “Why the iPad really could change
everything.” http://www.newsweek.com/2010/03/25/think-really-different.html
He asks us to wonder about the textbook “single” and imagines
a future in which we can create a learning “playlist” for a course
that mixes tracks from Macmillan, Pearson and others. The
future suggests that it won’t stop there and digital “papers” and
assignments will be elaborations (riffs?) on those textbook
singles and the best ones will be added to the library from
which future students construct their playlists.
Do you like that the total cost of textbooks for this course was $1.16*?
(*assuming you bought it used from Amazon from a social media seller.)

Band Aid For Haiti
Out of a sense of frustration and the desire to help the people affected
by the terrible earthquake in Haiti several years ago, he went to his
social media contact and organized a garage band fund raiser at his
high school. Ten bands from area high schools showed up to help.

“Youth exhibit agency and an expertise that

control over learning and literacy.”
