L’usage du web social améliore la maitrise de l’écrit chez les enfants
Selon une étude récente faite sur un échantillon d’environ 3000 enfants, ceux qui chattent, tiennent un blog et utilisent des sites sociaux comme Facebook ont de meilleurs résultats et maitrisent mieux l’écriture que ceux qui n’utilisent pas le web social.
Social Isolation and New Technology | Pew Internet & American Life Project
This Pew Internet Personal Networks and Community survey finds that Americans are not as isolated as has been previously reported. People’s use of the mobile phone and the internet is associated with larger and more diverse discussion networks. And, when we examine people’s full personal network – their strong and weak ties – internet use in general and use of social networking services such as Facebook in particular are associated with more diverse social networks.
Journalists' relationship with their audience has fundamentally changed
The report by Washington Post columnist and former visiting fellow at the institute, John Kelly, has suggested that journalists' relationship with their audience has fundamentally changed and, criticisms of user-generated content aside, citizens producing 'news' content is now a part of this.
Mainstream Media Miss the Point of Participatory Journalism
Online journalism is still in its infancy and it will take time for journalistic attitudes to change. But there are very few signs that news organizations are reinventing their relationship with the audience and tapping into the participatory potential of the web to reimagine journalism.
Journalism has improved in the internet age, say media professionals (via @eni_kao)
European Digital Journalism Survey 2009 reveals that journalists still trust quality of their products, but don't get enough further training by their publishers for the changing media situation
Is Online Education More Effective Than Traditional Learning?
One of the biggest myths about online education is that students will become socially inept. Instead, learning online allows students to study at their own pace, usually opening up hours for sports, hobbies, volunteer work, and time with friends. Most programs also allow students to study what interests them. Not that learning online is easier. In fact, quite the opposite: students require tremendous discipline and excellent time management skills, two qualities that Insight Schools uses to promote its program
Pew: Online Participatory Class is Young and Growing (via @fondapol)
the more interesting finding of the Pew study is that there's a new "pig in the python" in the generation of younger people who are using the Internet for political purposes at levels that literally blow everyone else off the charts
Social Media is Slowly Changing the Demographics of Political Engagement
Traditionally, political participation has always been highly correlated with income and education. According to a new report (PDF), this is still holds true for those who participate in political activities online.
Digital media and the idiocity of the big number
Delivering the keynote lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Newscorp Europe and Asia boss James Murdoch came out with a good soundbite, namely that we have "analogue attitudes in a digital age."
Less than 20% of online adults don’t use social tools
the 2009 survey finds that adults aged 35 to 54 increased its participation in online social activities by more than 60%; more than half of adults in the 35-44 bracket participate in Facebook and other social networks. Thirty-eight percent of the 54-54 group are regular users of these sites.
Petite colère contre ceux qui dénigrent Twitter (à tort) (via @PhilippeMartin)
Pour une fois elle n’est pas de moi mais de Danah Boyd. Elle s’en prend à l’info que vous avez tous vue selon laquelle 40% des tweets sont du bavardage sans intérêt (du bruit disent les gens qui savent) et moins de 4% des news, de l’actu, de l’info.
C’est ni rien comprendre trépigne Danah qui comprend plein de choses dans ce domaine. Ou pour être plus précis, c’est passer à côté de la fonction phatique : sociale plus qu’informationnelle, elle est utile pour attirer l’attention de l’interlocutrice ou pour s’assurer qu’elle est toujours là. Exemple: “Allô, tu m’entends”.
Teens and Mobile Phones Over the Past Five Years (via @zephoria)
Teenagers have previously lagged behind adults in their ownership of cell phones, but several years of survey data collected by the Pew Internet & American Life Project show that those ages 12-17 are closing the gap in cell phone ownership. The Project first began surveying teenagers about their mobile phones in its 2004 Teens and Parents project when a survey showed that 45% of teens had a cell phone. Since that time, mobile phone use has climbed steadily among teens ages 12 to 17 – to 63% in fall of 2006 to 71% in early 2008.
“We are at an inflection point in online education”
Until fairly recently, online education amounted to little more than electronic versions of the old-line correspondence courses. That has really changed with arrival of Web-based video, instant messaging and collaboration tools.
The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more “learning by doing,” which many students find more engaging and useful.
Twitter: "pointless babble" or peripheral awareness + social grooming?
Conversation is also more than the explicit back and forth between individuals asking questions and directly referencing one another. It's about the more subtle back and forth that allow us to keep our connections going. It's about the phatic communication and the gestures, the little updates and the awareness of what's happening in space. We take the implicit nature of this for granted in physical environments yet, online, we have to perform each and every aspect of our interactions. What comes out may look valueless, but, often, it's embedded in this broader ecology of social connectivity. What's so wrong about that?
Media coverage of new technologies: Some thoughts on the Facebook and jealousy study
What I do not agree with is the idea that Facebook constitutes a “fundamental shift” in the ways that jealousy functions within a relationship.
Your "Real" Friends are Your Online Friends (or so Says Gen Y)
The MySpace study asked social networking users between the ages of 14 and 21 (aka "Generation Y") questions about their interactions both on social networks and in their real life, too. Some 36% of the respondents said they found it easier to talk about themselves online than in the real world, leading them to share more about themselves using technology. This group also felt that their online friends knew more about them, and so, in a sense, were closer than offline friends because they all knew what was going on in each other's lives.
It's SO over: cool cyberkids abandon social networking sites
The proliferation of parents and teachers trawling the pages of Facebook trying to poke old schoolfriends and lovers, and traversing the outer reaches of MySpace is causing an adolescent exodus from the social networking sites, according to research from the media regulator Ofcom.
Politicosphere > Meme-tracking and News-breaking: Visualizing the News Cycle
We recently had the opportunity to look up close at one such instance where an influential political blog “broke the news”, initiating a new news cycle as national media followed suit. The following video is a visualization of the propagation of the story as it moves across the online political landscape.
Study Measures the Chatter of the News Cycle (via @m_c_b)
For the most part, the traditional news outlets lead and the blogs follow, typically by 2.5 hours, according to a new computer analysis of news articles and commentary on the Web during the last three months of the 2008 presidential campaign.
