Stigmergic Economy And Large-Scale, Decentralized Networks - Matan FieldNetwork Society Research
What would it look like if billions of people would be spontaneously, freely and systematically cooperating with each other, on anything? Imagine a self-organized world, with Facebook network but no Facebook Inc., a decentralised transportation network without Lyft or Uber, peer-to-peer marketplaces replacing eBay or Amazon, millions of people insuring each others and building startups together.
This vision is beginning to unfold, with the advent of the blockchain — a decentralized computer —rapidly developing over the last couple of years. Backfeed completes the picture with a set of economic and collaborative protocols, including a p2p review, evaluation and reputation system, distribution of value-carrying tokens and incentive model for the indirect coordination of agents. Imagine a new economic framework, where collaboration is the winning strategy.
In fact, Nature has already came up with an example millions years ago. Ants, birds and fish make up amazingly complex and seemingly intelligent structures in a spontaneous and decentralized way. It is called Stigmergy — a signal-based, indirect coordination of agents. Backfeed’s protocols do the same for human being, but in a generic and systematic manner, fitting any type of cooperation.
In my talk I will present the state-of-the art of decentralized models for cooperation and distributed architecture, the tools and platform, and some preliminary real use cases in the making.

The Virtuous Circle of Use, Attitude, Experience and Digital InclusioneLearning Papers
eAdoption refers to how people learn to become ICT users. “Digital inclusion” however is a more complex status, related to people’s participation in communities and in other dimensions of society, based on knowledge. It refers to areas such as social relationships,
work, culture, politics, and so on.
This paper looks at how to evaluate digital inclusion, using an analysis that considers not only individual factors but community and social ones as well, going beyond an
eadoption perspective that is limited to a focus on skill-level.

Describe some effects that cybertechnology has had so far for our se.pdfcalderoncasto9163
Describe some effects that cybertechnology has had so far for our sense of self. Questions to
think about as you write: In the age of information how are we beginning to conceive ourselves
in relation to nature? How is cybertechnology changing the way he view ourselves and others?
Does cybertechnology bring us closer together or create a rift? Are humans becoming more
computer-like? How?
MUST BE AT LEAST 300 WORDS IN TOTAL.
Solution
Information technologies are in a stable level of change and break-through.We can see that
information technologies have brought great social changes compared to the past years before
they appeared.In the past days of disconnect,we plugged into each other\'s nervous system by
passing our books,on discussions with others and by sharing our thoughts and dreams.But
connectedness made one become others databases snd servers learning on eachother\'s
memories.The expanded technology increased the lenghts of people\'s thoughts with this
increasing world.It brought people\'s imaginations and thoughts into existence.
The effects of technology has to do with whether humans desire greater simplicity or complexity
as they progress. Many technology creators acclaim the value of convergence. While that might
severely reduce the number of ‘devices’ that we need and use, it also adds complexity to the task
of using a device.Alternately, people have written about how we desire purity, and will therefore
look for technologies that will do one thing, and do it extremely well. The challenge before
technology innovators, clearly, is to enable technologies to communicate with each other, and
sort problems out, the way humans do.Technology will enable diverse cultures to collaborate
more efficiently, in every sphere. It will bring people and organizations together, closer.
Technology will allow people to live multiple lives, assume and live out multiple
identities.Every day, as millions of people interact over the internet, they navigate worlds that are
simulated, they create virtual personalities, and forge online relationships. Fantasy and role-play,
both natural and important functions of child development, are fostered by adult chatrooms and
virtual reality. In a distributed, yet isolated world, people desire connections. In doing so, they
think not of identity but identity crises.
Technological world is a brilliant opportunity for global connections and it gives the exprience of
leading different lives and cultures.We must believe that internet brings us together as without
internet it is not so easy to communicate with eachother.But on the other hand, it does have some
negative effects on people, tearing them apart in way of face to face communication making such
relations undervalued.
Computers, or operating systems to be exact, are lacking in the the fundamental capabilities
possessed by all sentient systems: the ability to reason, to learn from observation and experience,
to grow intelectually over time. As of today, computers .
We way we learn and train:
- how have learning methods evolved over the last 10 years?
- what was the impact of the technology?
- how will we learn tomorow?
- how will distance learning evolve?
- what will be the impact for the peopel and companies?

Rethinking Learning in the Age of Digital FluencyJudy O'Connell
Digital connectivity is a transformative phenomenon of the 21st century. While many have debated its impact on society, educators have been quick to mandate technology in school development - often without analysing the digital fluency of those involved, and the actual impact on learning. Is being digitally tethered creating a new learning nexus for those involved?

Retech: Digital Innovation and Integration in the ClassroomKathryn Schravemade
Presentation for @eduwebinar with @helenstower1
A key goal of future proof education is to ensure students are engaging with information, people and technologies as ‘connected learners’ and that this engagement is effective, safe and ethical.
In our particular school setting, it was identified that traditional ICT subjects focused on the development of software usage skills, which no longer supported the evolving needs of our students. Instead we needed students to develop skills in digital citizenship so that they could participate effectively in an online and networked world. Retech (Research and Technology) is a Middle Years learning experience that has developed in response to this need.
This presentation will explore some of the skills taught in Retech:
Cybersafety & building a positive digital footprint;
Information literacies such as smart searching, curation, effective note taking, licensing and attribution;
Using blogs and social media for building a PLN (Personal Learning Network);
Collaboration through shared bookmarks, notes & Google Groups;
Inquiry and problem solving; and
Creating and presenting with digital tools such as video productions, podcasts and infographics.
Sustainable Development Goals and Values for MuseumErfgoed 2.0
How museums can engage their audiences and work together with them on Sustainable Development Goals, based on their core Values and storytelling, by using the GIVE-model
the GIVE board (social Goals, Idea&Identity, Values, Engagement / empathy / Education, previously known as -SET-) will help you with your organisation's identity, social (responsibility) approach, communication and supporting storytelling, based on core values and sustainable development goals, by discussing why and how to build relations, attract followers / fans and make your efforts profitable. The GIVE model will be part of the Ready SET Go! handbook, which is (still) a work in progress.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A new knowledge ecology for museums
Theo Meereboer - E30 Foundation
Digital challenges
When George Pór stated in 2000: “By "knowledge network" we mean the frequently unmapped web-like
connections not among people, but their knowledge and insights interacting with one another, that
organizations produce in their normal course of action,” he could hardly forsee which role social media
would play in the decade to come. This fundamental change in how we connect and interact, got Knowledge
Ecologies (KE’s) back on the map, but sited them outside the digital domain as well.
Although many tools are webbased and connectivity leans firmly on web and mobile technology, Knowledge
Ecologies take that technology further along in the direction of Human Resources, Public Relations and
Reputation Management. It changes the way we work with volunteers, the way we build and maintain
relations in order to gain public support, share and exchange knowledge and helps us to find funding on the
long term. Which is disruptive and reassuring.
If museums can take advantage of this, how will they be able to organize their networks as a KE?
Based on the case study 'Collectiewijzer (Collection Guide)', a network-like web presence designed to share
knowledge and innovate collection care and management and another one called ‘Digital Education’, a series
of network meetings, online and offline, for the members of the VSC (Association of collaborating centers
and museums in science and technology), we can draw an outline for a new kind of Knowledge Ecology.
This will have an effect on the vision, mission and strategy of an organization. It will enhance crowdsourcing
and social tagging. It gives us the wisdom and velocity of the swarms.
We are forced to re-define our networks, to consider how social factors can override ICT-infrastructure but
most of all puts the question: who we are and with whom we want a sustainable relationship in knowledge?
