The problem is, users only have so much time for social software. The vast majority of users with not have a high level of engagement with a given group, and most tend to be free riders upon community value. But patterns have emerged where low threshold participation amounts to collective intelligence and high engagement provides a different form of collaborative intelligence (from Ross Mayfield's blog here: http://ross.typepad.com/blog/2006/04/power_law_of_pa.html) * Social capital - the capacity of people to get things done through networks of trust, outside of formal institutions Incomplete definition of social capital, perhaps this is the definition of network capital. Wikipedia defines social capital as "the expected collective or economic benefits derived from the preferential treatment and cooperation between individuals and groups." * Curation - if you collect good stuff ... aww, I lost the train - something about you will collect a valuable group of people who are attracted to the same thing - AHA there it is on slide 51, "Send signls that attract like-minded potential collaborators" (H Reingold) * Curation: Leverage collective intelligence. Filter for each other. * Architectures of participation - use self interest to construct public goods * Howard coined the term "virtual communities" * Enclosure - converting public goods to private use, or private ownership 3) TOP LEVEL CATEGORIES (Start organizing these below) * Social Media Literacies * Attention * Crap Detection * Partipication * Collaboration * Network Know-How * Meta-Cognition * Mind Map * Critical Consumption * Trianglation * Participation * Curation * Participatory Culture * Crowdsourcing * Collective Intelligence * Cooperative Learning * Collaborative Learning * Network Awareness * @giuliaforsythe visual notes: http://flic.kr/p/dWk7hb 4) SCREENSHOTS FROM LIVE SESSION (Add links below) * https://www.evernote.com/shard/s215/sh/762f7297-11e8-48a6-8e2d-548c05435f44/8faff6d037ea93ea2a64074244ee527e (initial roles) * https://www.evernote.com/shard/s215/sh/b5ab40c3-595b-4c65-8ef4-a7d9f52b402d/f8dc68fc69fb1bfb26f48c1d92e764d4 (7:08 What did you learn in the past hour) * https://www.evernote.com/shard/s215/sh/8e423ecd-7243-423a-916d-ed2949f25a6e/fcbee4d8c5aee81b36e5bb73f28050be (7:20 What did you learn in the past hour) * http://www.flickr.com/photos/54331051@N05/8491198926/ cleaned version of the "What do you know now that you didn't know an hour ago" public slide 5) QUESTIONS FROM CHAT (Add below) * Are there games that help students learn Social Media literacies? * Do you multitask or is it Continuous Partial Attention - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_partial_attention ? * Will you talk about attention probes and what you find when you ask students to try them? * What roles do audience response systems (ARS) have to keep attention focused? * Is it possible that we mutlitask so much because the information we are accessing in not particularly engaging? * Do we multitask because we think we can handle information at a faster speed? * Do you ever ask students to switch off their technology in your classes? * Isn't that the site is so highly linked to by media teachers it now shows up first in Google searches? * What about backchannels as distractions or amplifiers? What do you recommend with backchannels? * How many of us find things out first on Twitter? * the power is not in what you know but who you know, perhaps? (re: networks) * Is self-promotion the opposite of integrity? * How do you think MOOCs and networked learning will impact higher ed, experimenting as you do with online instruction and f2f instruction? * What do you think about Sherry Turkle's book "Alone Together"? Is she alarmis, or right on the money? * Is sharing resources we see as valuable the best way to filter crap? * What is "enclosure"? Why are we defening against it? * What do you know now that you did not know an hour ago? * How far are we from having more high school courses delivered as MOOC courses?
