Social Media for the Scared February 2014Bex Lewis
Day long course designed for the Church of England, encouraging people to think about why, what, when, etc. to use social media, provided by Dr Bex Lewis, Director of Digital Fingerprint Social Media Consultancy.
This document discusses digital storytelling and provides resources for creating digital stories. It highlights that today's students are "digital natives" who are comfortable with technology, while older generations are "digital immigrants" still learning new technologies. It then outlines a simple three step process for creating digital stories: 1) outline a story idea, 2) find media like images and audio to illustrate the story, and 3) use free software or internet tools to assemble the story. Several free software and web-based tools for creating digital stories are also presented.
Digital identities & citizenship: Leading in the OpenBonnie Stewart
An examination of digital spaces as sites of identity and citizenship, for higher ed leaders, faculty, staff, and students. Outlines open practice along market, knowledge abundance, and participatory axes, and presents #Antigonish2 as a potential model for making a difference in our contemporary information ecosystem, at global & local levels.
Benefits of social media for researchers 2010 slideshareInge de Waard
This document discusses the benefits of using social media for researchers. It argues that social media enhances human connectivity and learning, which have always been inherently human traits. Researchers are human and can benefit from social media in the same way average users do, by connecting with peers, staying up to date in their fields, and sharing knowledge. The document provides examples of social media tools researchers can use to blog, build networks, discuss ideas, share content and papers, and organize information for lifelong learning.
Designing A Virtual Third Place for Your SchoolDavid Jakes
This document discusses creating a virtual third place for schools during remote learning. Third places are informal public spaces like coffee shops that foster community. With remote learning, students lack human connection. The author proposes a virtual third place using school as the connector to foster interaction and belonging. Considerations for design include making it human-centered with adaptive, interest-based activities that promote exploration. It should have expectations rather than rules and be accessible 24/7 as a work in progress where students have ownership.

If growing up in a digital age is challenging, raising kids in a digital age is even more difficult. With unprecedented access to technology that seemingly changes on an almost daily basis, gifted children are being asked to grow up online. This session will equip parents and teachers with tools and strategies to empower and engage today’s youth in meaningful ways.
We Got This: Surviving and Thriving in a Deeply Weird WorldPeter Bromberg
The document discusses how the world is becoming "deeply weird" due to accelerating technological change. It notes that the pace of change is exponential and that the future is difficult to predict as a result. The presentation explores how organizations can deliver on their missions in this uncertain environment by focusing on values, outcomes, experiences, and putting people at the center. It advocates for embracing learning, letting go of long-range planning, and paying attention to customers in new ways such as storytelling and journey mapping.
Digital pedagogy in an age of algorithms: What do we DO about data?Bonnie Stewart
1) The document discusses the shift from participatory web communities in the 2000s to today's algorithmically driven, monetized systems that prioritize extraction of user data and polarization over participation.
2) It argues that digital pedagogy needs to account for the complexity of socio-technical systems and promote cooperation between people and technology through contributions to a more pro-social, participatory web.
3) The key steps are understanding problems as complex rather than having single solutions, collaborating across boundaries between people and machines, and rebuilding spaces for open sharing, teaching and learning online.
Self and Society_Lecture at Hong Kong Institute of EducationElliot Leung
1. Elliot Leung, founder of Gaifong App, gave a presentation on opportunities and challenges for young people in the digital age. He discussed how millennials are different from previous generations in that they are digital natives who value connection and sharing over individual ownership.
2. Leung explained that jobs are changing rapidly with the rise of technologies like driverless cars and delivery drones. Many current jobs will disappear and new types of jobs that don't yet exist will emerge, such as in areas like artificial intelligence and the sharing economy. Only 27% of workers currently have jobs related to their field of study.

This chapter discusses the present crisis of freedom. Freedom has long been considered profoundly important throughout history, as evidenced by people willingly dying for it. However, freedom is now facing a crisis, as many feel it has lost meaning and importance in modern society. Therapists are also finding that their clients lack a real sense of freedom. The author aims to explore what freedom truly means and how it can be regained.
This document provides an overview of existential therapy presented by Prof Emmy van Deurzen. The key points are:
1) Existential therapy explores the challenges of the human condition and how counseling can help people find meaning and a better life by addressing ontological questions and everyday problems.
2) A core focus is understanding human difficulties like loss, crisis, trauma and how people can build resilience through facing challenges with courage.
3) Unhappiness and mental health issues are often a normal part of human experience, rather than illnesses, and issues like depression are common responses to life's difficulties, losses and failures to find meaning. Medication alone does not address existential issues.
Rollo May was an American psychologist who helped introduce existential psychology to the United States. He had an unconventional childhood and education, studying under figures like Paul Tillich and Alfred Adler. Key experiences like spending time in a sanatorium to recover from tuberculosis exposed him to existential literature and inspired his theory development. May developed concepts like "daimonic possession" to describe how motivations can control individuals. He emphasized balancing love and will to achieve an authentic self. Later in life, May argued that in a world lacking absolutes, individuals need guiding myths to find meaning and values.
This document provides an overview of phenomenological perspectives on human emotions. It discusses theories such as the bodily theory of emotions, cognitive theories of emotions, and affect intentionality. It explores perspectives from philosophers like Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and others on topics like bodily sensations, social feelings, personal thinking, and spiritual intuition. The document frames emotions within dimensions of existence and explores how emotions are connected to concepts like time, memory, and subjectivity/objectivity. It aims to explicate emotions using phenomenological methods focused on lived experience and prereflective consciousness.
1. The document discusses time-limited existential therapy, including its history, key characteristics, and the researcher's study on clients' experiences of this approach.
2. The study found that existential time-limited therapy was effective in helping clients with issues like isolation, low self-worth, and fear of judgment to achieve greater self-acceptance and empowerment.
3. Clients felt the 12-session time limit allowed for engaged, focused exploration of deep issues. The early therapeutic alliance and meaningful ending process also positively impacted clients.
The document discusses various philosophers' views on empathy, including David Hume, Adam Smith, and Theodore Lipps. It contrasts empathy and sympathy, noting that empathy involves imagining another person's perspective while sympathy involves feelings of pity or compassion. Empathy is argued to originate from emotional contagion and feeling similar to another's movements or expressions. Factors that influence empathy include attention, cue detection, reflection without judgment, and willingness to understand diverse others.

Humanistic psychotherapy and counseling pptAamna Haneef
The document discusses humanistic therapies and counseling. It explains that humanistic psychology developed as an alternative to behaviorism and psychoanalysis by focusing on studying the whole person and their freedom of choice. The humanistic approach offers optimism and allows individuals to take control of their lives. Some key aspects of humanistic theories discussed include viewing the individual and their subjective experiences, the therapist building rapport through qualities like empathy, and the goal of increasing self-acceptance and personal growth. Client-centered therapy is described as facilitating these processes in a non-directive manner to help clients fully realize their potential.
Rollo May was an influential existential psychologist who developed an existential-psychodynamic theory. Some key aspects of his theory include: viewing existence as preceding essence; that people experience alienation from themselves, others, and the natural world; and that anxiety, guilt, and a sense of meaninglessness can result from this alienation. May believed psychotherapy should help people experience existence more fully and regain a sense of freedom. He outlined stages of personality development centered around independence from parents. May's theory emphasizes concepts like authenticity, freedom, and responsibility for oneself.

This document provides an overview of existential therapy. It discusses key figures in existential therapy like Viktor Frankl who developed logotherapy. It also discusses Rollo May and his contributions. The document outlines some core concepts of existential therapy including its focus on finding meaning and purpose in life. It describes the goals and processes of existential therapy including techniques like the empty chair. It also notes some advantages and disadvantages of the approach.
Existential therapy focuses on the fundamental questions of human existence such as meaning, freedom, responsibility, and death. It views life as full of paradoxes and tensions between polarities that can be understood through examining the four dimensions of human existence: the physical, social, personal, and spiritual. The goal of therapy is not just alleviating symptoms but facilitating growth by helping clients engage more fully with life's dilemmas and possibilities for change.
Existential psychotherapy is a philosophical approach that focuses on concepts like freedom, responsibility, and meaning. It views humans as always evolving and defines our existence by our capacity for self-awareness and search for purpose. Key existential philosophers discussed include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus. Rollo May was influential in introducing existential ideas to psychotherapy in the US. Existential therapy addresses fundamental human concerns like anxiety, death, relationships and uses concepts like creative living to help clients develop authenticity. While flexible, it can also be complex and difficult to apply due to its philosophical nature.
The document discusses several major models of psychotherapy:
1) Psychodynamic model (Sigmund Freud), Cognitive-Behavioral model (Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck), Existential-Humanistic model (Carl Rogers, Rollo May), and Multicultural model.
2) Key techniques discussed include free association, dream analysis, cognitive restructuring, Socratic questioning, reflection, and confrontation used in therapies like psychoanalysis, CBT, person-centered therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy.
3) The cognitive-behavioral and rational emotive behavior therapy models make use of techniques like systematic desensitization, modeling, and disputing irrational beliefs through logical arguments.
Humanistic, Existential, and Positive Aspects of Personality focuses on the meaning of human existence. Existentialism argues that people cannot be defined by fixed laws and emphasizes subjective experience and personal responsibility. Key figures like Rogers, Maslow, and Frankl viewed people as inherently driven towards growth, self-actualization, and finding purpose and meaning. Positive psychology later emerged to scientifically study subjective well-being, happiness, and human flourishing.
1. Ethical leadership is about raising the aspirations of followers and motivating them to achieve a common purpose through compelling moral vision and living according to strong principles.
2. Characteristics of ethical leaders include articulating organizational values, developing people, encouraging dissent, and framing actions in ethical terms while considering stakeholder interests.
3. Becoming an ethical leader requires knowing one's core values and having courage to live by them consistently, especially under pressure, in service of the greater good. Developing ethical leaders necessitates strengthening leadership programs with focus on ethical decision making.

Toward Society 3.0: A New Paradigm for 21st century educationJohn Moravec
The convergence of globalization, the emergence of the knowledge society and accelerating change contribute to what might be best termed a New Paradigm of knowledge production in education. The New Paradigm reflects the emerging shifts in thought, beliefs, priorities and practice in regard to education in society. While the three component trends in the new paradigm are not unknown to educational leaders, discussion of the trends as elements of a larger system is largely absent. These new patterns of thought and belief are forming to harness and manage the chaos, indeterminacy, and complex relationships of the postmodern. This lecture provides a macro-level perspective of these three phenomena as they impact education at all levels. Such perspectives provide insight to leaders throughout the world on how educational institutions relate to the New Paradigm of knowledge production. The lecture then explores "what's next" as we build from the New Paradigm to co-construct Education 3.0 to complement Society 3.0.
The following presentation is a sample of workshops done with teachers on the topics of children's rights, global citizenship education and rights-respecting schools. There are links to videos that offer inspiration & hope for teachers and youth.
The document discusses how 2010 marked a watershed year in which new technologies empowered activists and journalists to speak out against repressive governments and push for greater respect of human rights. It suggests that repressive governments now face the real possibility that their days are numbered due to technologies that allow information to spread more freely. The summary highlights how new technologies have given voice to critics of authoritarian regimes and represent a threat to governments that try to strictly control information.
This document discusses how networks and new technologies are changing learning. It notes that knowledge is now abundant and free online, learning is increasingly social and visible, and networks enable new forms of collaboration. Weak ties and open sharing of ideas can spark innovation. The document provides examples of how YouTube, social media, and memes spread information and new literacies like network literacy are important. It emphasizes making the learning process visible and contributing to others' learning through open sharing.
This document discusses how abundance of information, tools, and connectivity enabled by new technologies is changing education. It argues that schools need to shift focus from content delivery to developing skills like learning, collaboration, problem solving, and digital literacy. Key questions are raised around the purpose of schools given that learning is now on-demand via networks. The concept of "unlearning" traditional models is introduced, advocating letting students design curriculum, sharing all resources, and assessing via open networks rather than tests. The talk encourages educators to be bold and help students learn how to learn.
Social media has become pervasive in society, with over 2.6 million Facebook users in Singapore alone. While social media allows for widespread sharing of ideas and connection of online communities, it also enables issues like loss of self-identity and privacy issues from oversharing. Further, social media content can have serious legal and career consequences, such as termination from criticizing employers or content used as evidence in court. Given both the magnitude of social media's influence in modern communication and the real risks it poses, action must be taken today through education and training to ensure its proper and secure use.

Ethnography is a branch of anthropology that studies cultures through immersing oneself in people's everyday experiences. It has commercial value for understanding how consumers experience and value brands. The document discusses how ethnography shifts focus from needs to cultural meanings, and provides examples of how ethnography helped brands like Monkey Shoulder whisky and fabric conditioners understand cultural contexts and create meaningful experiences for consumers.
Seek #DIGNC Digital Non-Conference Conversation starterSEEK Company
This document summarizes a digital non-conference on social media research. It provides tips on going beyond sentiment analysis to understand motivations and context from social media data. Qualitative research methods like interviews, observations and focus groups are recommended to deepen insights from social media by understanding consumers' whole experiences and stories with a topic. The document also gives examples of sources of qualitative "why" data like recall, observation, and real-time documentation to help explain quantitative behavioral data and sentiment.
The document discusses how networks and connectivity are reshaping education. It notes that more video is uploaded to YouTube every month than the major US television networks created in 60 years. Knowledge is now freely available online like air or water. While age is not a determining factor, access and opportunities create a digital divide. Network literacy including understanding how networks work is an important 21st century skill. Learning is becoming more open and social through networks, with learners gaining knowledge from many online sources rather than just educators. The paradigm is shifting from isolated learning to learning through diverse social networks.
This document discusses the importance of creativity and innovation in education. It notes that the future demands creative approaches, and that creativity involves encoding, selecting, and recombining existing ideas. While creativity was once seen as a gift to few, it is now an economic and personal imperative. The document advocates for educating students in skills like collaboration, critical thinking, initiative and adapting to change. Schools are highlighted as powerful community resources that can foster creativity if they protect childhood and enable civic partnerships and local innovation. Overall, the document argues for nurturing creativity in students and making space for "hackers and makers".
Asks 3 important questions:
1. How has the digital revolution changed society?
2. What has it done to the ways in which people access and process information?
3. How do educators adapt to these new modes of learning?
A Creativity Crisis? How do we make space for the hackers and the makers?Mary Loftus
This document discusses creativity and innovation in education. It argues that creativity is essential for the future, as the jobs and technologies of tomorrow have yet to be invented. However, current education systems may discourage creativity by over-emphasizing standardized testing and outcomes. The document advocates cultivating creativity through collaboration, problem-solving, risk-taking, and facilitating safe learning environments where students can explore and develop their ideas. Nurturing creativity in both students and educators is important for building innovative thinkers who can thrive in an uncertain future.

Hrobjartur and SolveiDEVELOPMENT OF ONLINE EDUCAMPS.pptxHróbjartur Árnason
From 2012 to 2019, face-to-face educamps became increasingly popular in Iceland as a method for teachers’ professional development as well as in teacher education (Jakobsdóttir, 2020; Jakobsdóttir et al., 2021). Organisation of technology training workshops as educamps, involve unstructured collective learning experience, reflect social networked learning ideas and could be considered connectivism in action (Leal Fonseca, 2011). Due to the COVID19 pandemic, when teaching and learning moved increasingly online, academic staff at University of Iceland – School of Education (UI) and at the University of Akureyri (UA) decided to experiment with moving this type of event online using Google (docs and sites) and Zoom. In this presentation we will describe the reactions and views expressed by participants of six online educamps attended by hundreds of teachers across Iceland. Participation was open and free. Three educamps were held in spring 2020 (focus on teaching at all school levels) and three in fall and spring 2020-2021 (two focused on university and upper secondary schools and one on primary and lower secondary school level). Participants were invited to complete a survey after each event. The majority thought the online educamps participation had been useful and liked this type of professional development very much. The majority expressed willingness to take advantage of this type of professional development in the future and several were interested in organising online educamps of a similar type themselves. By moving this type of professional development online synchronous sessions, it can be made far more accessible in terms of location and also in terms of time (when sessions are recorded). Technology changes are constant and there is increased need to develop digital competence of learners, teachers and other professional groups. In this regard, online educamps can provide a low-cost and sustainable model in life-long learning. They are here to stay, compliments to COVID!
Assessing the skills of adult educatators in Iceland and paving the path for ...Hróbjartur Árnason
Adult educators enter their carriers along as many paths as they themselves are many. Few adult educators start their professional life aspiring to support the learning, training, and education of other adults, but more and more people find themselves entering this special and diverse group of educators. Some train colleagues in the art of searching for weapons in departure halls of airports. Others teach adults who never finished their secondary education and want to finally acquire their journeyman's certificate. Unlike teachers in other levels of education, the carrier path is in few instances clearly outlined in the official education systems. However, as the importance of adult learning increases in today's economy, the need for quality assurance in adult education has risen, and with it the demand for educators who have at least a minimum level of competency. This has led to a growing number of projects and initiatives aimed at identifying adult educator skills and to lay out clear roadmaps to acquire them. In this paper I will describe an Icelandic project which in some ways seems to differ from most other such projects at least in its method, and which, due to this method might have uncovered some interesting aspects of the skills adult educators do develop through their practice and which ones remain underdeveloped. The project, furthermore, developed a tool for prior learning assessment for adult educators, and a roadmap for competence development. These will be presented and discussed.
Hróbjartur Árnason: University of Iceland: Keynote held on June 3. 2021 at the FLUID & IDA conference: Collective Intelligence – When Learning becomes Collective: https://www.fluid.dk/ci/
This document summarizes a presentation on collective intelligence in international projects by Hróbjartur Árnason, Jørgen Grubbe, and Torhild Slåtto. It discusses the PaaD Nordic project which investigated experiences from completed Nordic projects to understand what aspects lived on after the projects ended and why. Key findings included networks, online content/materials, practices adopted by organizations, and relevance of the project theme to partner institutions. Collaborative structures like co-creation, complementary competencies, and inclusion of various inputs were found to be important for success. Factors like social intelligence, diverse perspectives, equal participation, clarity of goals, and intensive work sessions also supported effective collaboration.
This document provides tips for motivating and connecting with online learners. It recommends starting with a face-to-face meeting to greet learners and have them introduce themselves. Instructors should help learners find personal relevance in the material, encourage adapting it to their own situations, and connecting it to practical problems. The document also suggests giving timely feedback, including responses in chat and to activities, and using activities to help learners connect with each other by sharing views or responses. Regular motivational videos can help build a feeling of togetherness among online learners.
The document discusses depicting adult learning as a creative process. It summarizes that modern learning theories view learning as something learners actively do, rather than something that happens to them. The document then proposes that framing adult learning as a creative process could help change adult education practices from a transmission model, where knowledge is passed from teacher to student, to one that better engages learners. It provides examples of learning theories that see learning as construction, interpretation, or building by learners. The document concludes by suggesting adult learning events should help learners creatively deal with content and situations.
Hrobjartur 2019-reimagining lifelong learning for lifelong employabilityHróbjartur Árnason
The document discusses reimagining lifelong learning for lifelong employability. It argues that learning is essential for human survival and adaptation, allowing people to acquire both skills and knowledge as well as self-knowledge. It promotes empowering communities to support learning through various local institutions and experiences outside of traditional schools. The presentation calls for reimagining the next education system to be more holistic, diverse, multi-modal, open, and focused on continuous learning throughout life to maintain employability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
