Ferrarelli M 2015 Hacker Ethic & Remix Practices in the 21st Century ClassroomMariana Ferrarelli
Defined by Ken Robinson as the process of generating ideas that have value, creativity still remains a mystery to many educators. Whether it can be taught or not, how it can be fostered in the 21st century, or why it is relevant to teachers are all aspects of the same issue that should be addressed from an in-depth perspective. Is there anything 100% new? Where does ‘newness’ come from? Do digital technologies promote or stifle creativity? The presenter will deal with all these challenging questions focusing the analysis on what happens with creativity in the language classroom. Is there only one way to be creative? Can creativity become a habit? Teachers and educators in general are all invited to debate and share experiences.

Free software is about freedom, but is that really a reality for everyone out

nature is free, it therefore does not suffer from inequality? Everyone with the
economical and practical resources has the possibility to contribute to any free
software project, anyone can join. Unfortunately, reality does not look like
this, we have a problem with inequality. If we exclude women from the free
software community, we exclude contributors, both women and men. Is software
really free if not everybody is free to join?

With the changing media landscape, our streams, memes, and zines have exploded with imagery, ushering in a need for visual literacy skills. We have some false beliefs about visual language - that it is equated with “art”, requiring “talent” from “creative types” - and therefore it is unfortunately often not overtly taught and practiced in schools. Technology has affected knowledge in such a way as to diminish the value of “raw” information and increase the value of sense-making, as well as chip away at attention spans, sparking a need for distillation of complex ideas. Images can essentialize the cumbersome in beautiful ways. They have a “stickiness” for the viewer and challenge the critical thinking of the creator.

Make du Jour: Fostering Daily Creativity with Choice and VoiceAmy Burvall

(please note that since this was a keynote exported to a pdf, the embedded videos will not play) Mozilla’s Doug Belshaw says that the “heart” of “digital literacies” is the Remix. Kirby Ferguson eloquently encouraged us in his TED talk to “Embrace the Remix”, because, as his enlightening documentary series reminds us, “everything is a remix”. Newspaper blackout artist and award-winning author Austin Kleon’s advice to budding creatives is to “Steal Like an Artist”, because “you are a mashup of what you let into your life”. Our students are engrossed in remix culture - they are the appropriation and recontextualization generation. Remix calls for knowledge and understanding, critical, higher-order, and design thinking, a variety of tech skills, and, frequently, collaboration and navigation in the greater media landscape. Most importantly a remix task offers students a chance to truly transform a work and create something unique - something that will contribute to their digital presence and legacy. This session is part pedagogical/philosophical and part participatory. Attendees will leave with a “goodie-bag” of resources and ideas as well as have the opportunity to develop, practice, and share several types of remix projects.

How can we model and help our students develop skills in the new literacies of the digital world? In this workshop we explored the so-called "new" or "emerging" literacies - things like the nuances of hashtags and how to use them for creative production, video blogging as an effective alternative to the written essay, microcontent, and visual thinking and media.

The raise and fall of the literate-mass-media era - presentation 1 (main - 15...OrestesCarvalho
Content is the king, right?
Maybe not.
After 500 years, since Gutenberg's printing press, it seems content was deposed by the digital medium, despite most people didn't notice it yet. Because this revolution bring new concepts we can't even articulate well as they don't fit in our old paradigms.
(please note that since this was a keynote exported to a pdf the embedded videos will not play) The first MTV generation were the ultimate consumers of mass media - characterized by the affinity for the visual and the desire for diversion. They demanded the fast-paced and were able to quickly process information, albeit riddled with uncertainty. This culture was the springboard for a new sort of media landscape- one that even further breaks away from the privilege of print and whose power has shifted from that of the hierarchical to that of the participatory and crowd-based. What it means to be “literate” in this environment is mercurial, but we can identify some major trends and help our students by cultivating these “new literacies” in the classroom...and beyond. The remixED “MTV” stands for “Mobile, Transliterate, and Visible”. How can we leverage the power of mobile technology and social media to engage learners in relevant ways? What types of literacies are emerging, and what academic, technical, and social skills should we address to help our students succeed in exponentially changing world? How can we embrace transparency and help students wisely and effectively share and amplify their work on a global scale?
Most everyone is going through a personal “digital metamorphosis” and it will (if it hasn’t already) happen to you too. This presentation highlights some of the emerging technology trends that are impacting most everyone’s lives. In it, I hope to give you some ideas and some insight that you can use in your libraries to help bring more visibility to your resources/services in order to showcase its value.

Week 2: Social Media:Society & Citizenship
This course is designed to enable students to make safe and legal use of the Internet by identifying best practices, tools and methods that also respects free expression. It will develop the critical thinking skills necessary to understand the challenges, risks and opportunities regarding current computer-mediated communication technologies. Topics will include the rights and responsibilities of the digital citizen, Internet safety, social -networking, privacy, and creative content creation. Legal, technical, psychological, and social dynamics will be addressed with an emphasis on practical application. We will first build a foundation by looking at the technical aspects of social media by exploring the tools and skills necessary to enhance students’ online potential by building a culture of responsible online behavior. The second half of the course will focus on the more complex dynamics of collaboration, privacy, content creation and economic and political societal participation.
Crushing It with Creativity- The Virtual Summit EU keynoteAmy Burvall
Crushing It with Creativity outlines some of the beliefs set forth in the "Creativity Credo" from my book, "Intention: Critical Creativity in the Classroom". It then offers a plethora of ideas for creative thinking in the classroom and beyond
This is the 2nd part of a 3 part presentation I gave for UNOi in Los Cabos, Mexico. It shares the "why " of creativity in 21st century education and the nature of creativity, punctuated by interactive experiences as it addresses the "how".
This is the first part of a three part presentation given in Los Cabos, Mexico for UNOi. In it, I draw parallels between the life, creative processes and work of Leonardo Da Vinci and that of project-based learning, maker culture, and inquiry. At the beginning some analogies are made between mobile learning and the Impressionist art movement.

“The tag is the soul of the Internet”, says Derrick de Kerckhove in The Augmented Mind. How can educators exploit the use of tagging content in a variety of mediums in order to help students practice these new literacies and understand the workings of the Web? In this session we’ll look at both practical and creative (or “meta”) tagging and explore ways to organize a course in Twitter, G+, Storify, Instagram, and Wordpress blogs. We’ll explore playful uses of tags to recontextualize, add commentary, or create art, poetry, and literature. The hashtag is a powerful device of the organization of knowledge, but it can be maximized for critical and divergent thinking.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
