Copy and Paste Literacy: Literacy Practices in the Production of a MySpace Pr...
The document discusses literacy practices in creating MySpace profiles. It presents a socio-technical model of literacy where literacy involves both technical skills like reading and writing as well as social practices. It analyzes how MySpace users engage in participatory and remix literacy behaviors by embedding various media like images and comments into their profiles. The document challenges traditional views of literacy and argues MySpace profiles require understanding new concepts of what is technical versus social and production versus consumption in the context of new media.

Module1
This document defines media literacy and discusses its history. Media literacy is defined as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in various forms. It provides a framework for understanding the role of media in society and developing skills for inquiry and self-expression. The document then discusses the evolution of different media technologies from the 1600s to today. It notes there may be a lack of understanding, or "generation gap", between older and younger generations in their use and reasons for using technologies like the Internet. A case study is referenced that examined this divide between exploring media for entertainment versus needing to know information.

Social media facilitates collective action by reducing the costs of mass distribution of information, leveraging ubiquitous hardware to allow anyone to be a content producer, and enabling network effects to spread ideas widely. While social media provided an alternative to state-controlled media in some protests, concerns include potential for deception, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and "slacktivism" over real engagement. Moving forward, education in social media literacy and research on effective and ineffective uses can help address these issues.
SST
The document discusses various means of information that have developed over recent decades such as satellite communication, books, newspapers, radio, television, computers, and the internet. It notes that these means play an important role in education and connecting people worldwide by allowing events anywhere to be seen globally, but that they can also potentially harm national solidarity.

1. The document discusses how new media is blurring boundaries between personal, informal, and professional networks, creating hybrid social innovations.
2. It presents a socio-constructionist framework showing how users and entrepreneurs create their own social realities that influence institutions.
3. It argues that children have the potential to be important social, economic, and industrial innovators, but need autonomy and scaffolding to learn, which is dependent on their various social contexts like family, friends, institutions, and digital spaces.
Vermette - PP - Chapter 1 - What is sociology?
This document provides an overview of an introductory sociology textbook chapter. It outlines the key learning objectives of the chapter, which are to understand the basic concepts of sociology, the development of sociological thinking by early founders, modern theoretical approaches, and how sociology can help people.

Collaboration: 2011 update
The document discusses the complex dynamics of collaboration in creative industries. It examines collaboration from macro-level organizational structures to micro-level individual experiences. While collaboration is touted as essential to creativity, the document notes collaboration takes many forms and does not always benefit all parties equally. It questions whether rhetoric around creativity matches realities, and who gains advantages in new creative economies.
Weekone
The document provides an introduction to new media. It discusses definitions of new media as multimedia delivered through computers. It explores how new media is shaped by people, culture and economics. The document outlines the aims of new media lectures as providing context, introducing concepts and applying theories. It discusses the historical origins of new media in counterculture movements and defense research.

Week 1 Sound and Vision Lecture Context
Baudrillard argues that digitality pervades modern society through messages and signs, most concretely seen in tests, questions/answers, and stimuli/responses. Digitality "haunts" contemporary communication.
Chapter 1 Lecture Notes.pptx
This document provides an overview of key topics in sociology for the 21st century sociologist. It discusses the changing nature of the world and sociology from the 18th century to the present day. Globalization, consumption, the digital world, and their interconnections are central concerns. The sociological imagination allows sociologists to understand how individual experiences relate to broader social patterns and structures. Sociology aims to scientifically study relationships between social structures and processes, though some argue it should also be used to solve social problems.
Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of Change
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.
Innovation in virtual worlds
This document discusses innovation in virtual worlds from a knowledge creation and social network perspective. It presents a conceptual framework to investigate how knowledge creation takes place in virtual worlds, how virtual worlds impact knowledge creation and social networks, and how social networks then impact knowledge creation. The framework will be investigated through a three stage approach of archival analysis, case study, and survey to understand innovation diffusion in virtual worlds.
Chicago school te 2
The Chicago School focused on understanding individuals and their interactions within urban environments through two main approaches: symbolic interactionism and urban ecology. Researchers used ethnographic methods like observation and interviews to study how people adapted to and competed over resources in cities. They mapped urban areas and analyzed how social groups were stratified. While insightful, the Chicago School had some limitations like overstating nature over nurture and producing theories not always applicable beyond North America. Overall, it created an empirical foundation for sociological research through localized, mixed methods studies of everyday urban life.
The Furture Compatibility

Principles of New Media [Fall 2012 RTF 319 Session 02]
This document provides an introduction and overview of digital media and new media. It discusses key concepts from readings by Lev Manovich and Julian Sefton-Green on new media characteristics and production software. Some of the main points summarized are: new media converges computation and audiovisual media and is numeric, modular, automated, variable and transcoded. Production software like Photoshop uses layers, filters and timelines/tracks. Programming and scripting skills are also important. Interactivity, databases and translation between formats are discussed. Readings by Manovich and Kleinrock are assigned for the next class.
Presentation at BCMCR Research Seminar 18 Feb 2015
This presentation discusses the researcher's study of how creative and cultural workers use social media. The researcher aims to provide insight into social media's role in these workers' everyday lives and how they perform expertise online. The researcher plans to interview 15-20 creative professionals, have them keep a diary of social media use, and analyze social media posts. Previous literature explored includes performance and identity on social media, cultural work, and how social media relates to precarity and intermediaries in the creative industries.
Jones And Turner iran seattle presentation
This document compares the uses of social media in the 1999 Battle of Seattle protests and the 2009 Iranian election protests. It discusses how early internet technologies like email lists and Indymedia allowed for radical democracy in Seattle, while Twitter and YouTube helped spread information about and draw global attention to protests in Iran despite state restrictions. While new media helped organize both movements, the document argues that Western liberal ideologies still shaped coverage in ways that reconciled protests with the status quo.

12 November 2012
Today's plan includes discussing several articles about identity, gender, and online spaces. The plan is to first discuss an article by Manago et al about online identity construction and how it relates to theories of the looking-glass self. Next, the group will analyze Hegland and Nelson's article about queer politics, genderqueer identity, and how the internet can be a positive space for gender expression. After a break, the discussion will continue with Castells' work on mass self-communication, counter-power, and how social networks process information. The day will conclude by wrapping up key points and previewing upcoming topics.
Flim: A Painfully Short Overview
The document provides a simplified overview of film history, narrative structure, cinematography techniques, and film theory. It discusses key events in the development of film from 1888 to 1999. It also outlines Vladimir Propp's 7 character types and Tzetan Todorov's stages of narrative disruption, recognition, repair, and restoration. Finally, it analyzes three pivotal scenes from the film "The Godfather".
Rhetoric, rhetoric, rhetoric
This video discusses argumentation and rhetorical analysis. It introduces key concepts for constructing arguments, including premises, conclusions, and logical reasoning. Syllogisms are presented as a way to structure arguments logically. The Toulmin model is also introduced as a framework for developing claims, grounds, warrants, backing, rebuttals, and qualifiers. Partners are asked to choose a topic and construct both a syllogism and a full argument using the Toulmin model to analyze different perspectives on the issue. The video also covers the rhetorical situation, explaining how to analyze a text based on its elements of text, reader, author, constraints, and exigence.

Dealing with comments in WordPress
To approve comments in WordPress, navigate to your dashboard by logging in, then click on the "Comments" menu to see a list of comments. You can approve a single comment by hovering over it and selecting "Approve", or approve multiple comments by checking the box next to each one, choosing "Approve" from the drop-down menu, and clicking "Apply" to approve all selected messages at once.
Peer review
This document provides instructions for students to participate in a peer review process to provide feedback on draft annotated bibliographies. It explains that peer review relies on experts in a field to critique and comment on work. Students are asked to publish their draft to their blog and review the drafts of the peers assigned to them. For each annotation in the draft, students should provide the author with feedback on what they heard, noticed, and wondered based on a set of guidelines provided. Finally, students should write a letter to the instructor summarizing their feedback across all the drafts they reviewed.
Academic integrity
This document discusses academic integrity and misconduct. It defines academic integrity as trusting that work will be properly attributed and reported honestly. Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, and aiding others in these acts. The Code of Student Conduct identifies these behaviors and their consequences, such as academic probation, grade reduction, suspension or expulsion. The expectations presented are to properly attribute any borrowed information, complete individual assignments, develop original ideas, and make sincere efforts while assuming innocence until proven otherwise.
Social media myths
The document argues that social media platforms are not too complicated, informal, or distracting for classroom use. It asserts that platforms are designed to be accessible and integrated, and that using them can actually save time. It also claims that having class-specific presences establishes an academic setting and that students self-correct when work is shared. Finally, the document suggests productive social media use can increase student engagement, meeting students partway improves attention, and students can function with media saturation.

Narratology of Games (Guest Lecture, ENG 798: Narrative Analysis)
The document summarizes past perspectives on defining the concept of play. It discusses Johan Huizinga's definition of play as being free, separate from ordinary life, uncertain in outcome, unproductive, governed by rules, and involving make-believe. Roger Caillois later modified this definition and categorized types of play as agon, alea, mimicry, and ilinx. The document then discusses debates around narrative and ludic perspectives on games, as well as concepts like gameplay, gameworld, and the relationship between operator and machine actions in video games.
Behind Every Great Gamer: Performing Heteronormativity in 'League of Legends'...
This presentation seeks to “make visible” the experiences of female gamers (Bryce & Rutter, 2003) in the male-dominated League of Legends (LoL) community, widely regarded as toxic, if not outright misogynistic.
We encountered the hypermasculinized terrain of LoL, currently the “most played game in the world” and a spectator sport in its own right (Gaudiosi, 2012), during an ethnographically-driven study that explored the resources and practices through which players become more proficient. Though we only had two female participants, several aspects of their reported and observed experiences resonate with research previously done with heterosexual couples playing online role-playing games, where female participants report starting out in roles designed to support and assist their male partners’ preferred play styles (Carr & Oliver, 2009; Nardi, 2010). While the two female participants in our study are at drastically different phases in their League of Legends careers, their experiences are similar. Both were introduced to the game through their male partners; both began (and continue) playing in a supportive role to their male partners' more dominant position; and both are hesitant to communicate with online teammates, something we saw a great deal of from male participants.
We offer an account of these players’ experiences in order to shed light on the ways in which women negotiate barriers to their more equitable participation in LoL, and in competitive gaming more generally. This is particularly urgent given the increased economic, social, and educational benefits associated with competitive play (Taylor, 2012; Witkowski, 2012).

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
