Jenarae's List: 2.5 Researching Credible Connections

• Why is mass online collaboration useful in solving mathematical problems? Part of the answer is that even the best mathematicians can learn a great deal from people with complementary knowledge, and be stimulated to consider ideas in directions they wouldn’t have considered on their own. Online tools create a shared space where this can happen, a short-term collective working memory where ideas can be rapidly improved by many minds. These tools enable us to scale up creative conversation, so connections that would ordinarily require fortuitous serendipity instead happen as a matter of course. This speeds up the problem-solving process, and expands the range of problems that can be solved by the human mind.

• Media literacy is the ability to understand how mass media work, how they produce meanings, how they are organized, and how to use them wisely. The media literate person can describe the role media play in his or her life. The media literate person understands the basic conventions of various media, and enjoys their use in a deliberately conscious way. The media literate person understands the impact of music and special effects in heightening the drama of a television program or film...this recognition does not lessen the enjoyment of the action, but prevents the viewer from being unduly credulous or becoming unnecessarily frightened. The media literate person is in control of his or her media experiences

• "The goal of the media literacy curriculum must be to develop a literate person who is able to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce communications in a variety of media

• Why teach media literacy to young children?

   Because American schoolchildren spend more time watching television than they do in school or play. The average child watches approximately thirty hours of television per week! The Los Angeles Times recently reported that 37% of children aged 9 - 11 have their own TV's, as compared to 49% of 12 -13 year-olds, and 54% of 14 - 15 year-olds
• We are dependent upon mass communication for knowing what is going on in our physical, social, economic, and political environments. In other words, almost everything we know about people, places, and events that we cannot visit first-hand comes from the media. We also rely on media for entertainment and pleasure. Television and film have become the storytellers of our generation; these stories tell us about who we are, what we believe, and what we want to be
• Media bring the world into our homes
• The purpose of media literacy is to empower young people to understand the mass media and how it works so that they can be in control of this important aspect of their own lives
• To look is one thing,
    To see what you look at is another,
    To understand what you see is a third,
    To learn from what you understand is still something else:
    To act on what you learn is all that matters.

  Netiquette, a cyber-word, is the combination of the words network and etiquette. It describes the culture of the internet. Specifically, it's the culture of how we communicate digitally through networks.

    

  The internet is the most popular digital network in the world. Therefore, netiquette is centered around internet use because it's the culture of digital networks and the internet is the most popular in the world.

• This includes mobile phones and other handheld devices. Technically, the definition of netiquette could include network specific communication based purely in reality. Practically, it means internet etiquette.

     

  Proper netiquette in internet communication is more important than etiquette in reality.  In reality, a person can communicate with another in so many different ways that are commonly understood words may have little meaning.  On the internet, words often are the sole determinant of a messages meaning. Therefore, following proper netiquette is more important because digital communication lacks a sense of connection that real conversations have

       Each cultural norm or common convention of communicating on the internet is a netiquette rule.

This is where the concept of marriage comes from and why it is between a man and a woman.  It takes a man and a woman to create a child and it takes a witness to create a marriage. Men and women create children creating societies and friends create rules.  Mutual friendship and agreement is how routines and traditions of communication start.

     

     The Ten Core Rules of Netiquette should be followed in most circumstances, but everything depends on the situation. Freedom is part of cyber etiquette because the internet was created to preserve it. Net Neutrality is a policy that protects an individuals freedom to view content without preference to a given provider.

    

       Please, mind your digital manners and practice good netiquette because there are no netiquette police. The content you access is up to you as a matter of principle, even if the content itself is bad netiquette
