LinuxDevices.com has a new interview with Glenn Henry, the CEO and founder of Austin-based Centaur, a subsidiary of VIA Technologies. These are the folks that design CPUs for the Mini-ITX and Nano-ITX boards. There's a lot of interesting info in the interview about the company and the hardware. He says a number of their engineers have built robots, so it's only natural that the products from Centaur and VIA are being designed to work well in small, low-power, Linux-based configurations.

Pop Cosmopolitanism, Collective Intelligence, and Participatory Culture: What Educators Need to Know about the New Media Landscape

see over time a span of skills learned from gaming that are applied to law, etc.

Yoyogi Park, Tokyo – a “fan district”
8–story comic book store!
showed costumes in Toyko Park = “cosplay” which happens every weekend; mostly girls who spend most of their time taking pictures of each other with their cell phones

showed a video of a 17–year old girl who was motivated to learn Japanese and how to sew in order to participate in CosPlay
they go to conventions to be recognized as the character they are dressed as; whole point is to be recognized and photographed
then go on the internet afterwards to find pictures of themselves

— not just consuming popular culture but generating it as well
these kids are integrating this into their identities

showed a clip of the “Yankees” who dance rockabilly dressed as Elvis in the park; one person wears the “red jacket” (James Dean, “the only thing that trumps Elvis”)
see “silent dancing” all over the park; eg, practicing boy band moves

not just Imperialist culture, but integration; see a lot of hybridity; goes both directions

organized reenactments of scenes from The Matrix in Japan

“Pop cosmopolitanism” – contra cultural imperialism; a hunger to escape parochialism

media literacy we’ve been teaching in our schools hasn’t changed since the 1980s – need to rethink this

mass culture is taught as something we consume but don’t participate in; “buy nothing day” leaves us with the option to opt out only – “just say yes” or “just say no”

noted Steven Johnson’s book “Everything Bad is Good for You”

see complexity everywhere in media
– see visual complexity (comic books)
– narrative complexity (Lost)
– paradigmatic complexity (Pokemon)
– cognitive complexity (video games)
– cultural complexity (mixing and matching cultures)

we’ve now reached the point where we feel inadequate to pop culture; now there are people that don’t “get” pop culture, whereas in the past it would have been high culture

distributed cognition: things we would normally offload – example is Tivo, manages TV for you

collective intelligence – we pool knowledge; no one knows everything, everyone knows something; mix and match that information – example is Wikipedia

showed a flowchart of the Zion Underground hierarchy in The Matrix that was created by users; see this in Survivor Fan sites, too

“i love bees” example from halo community - had to work together to solve problems

new kind of competency

corporations are now taking advantage of this – eg Coke lets you participate in many different ways

have to start thinking of children and youth as media generators – grassroots participation; young people will be critical to the change
— eg Joshua Meeter, who created a claymation Star Wars film
— Peter “TheSidDog” Medina, a Sims Moviemaker

“they live across media” - it’s not just digital production

they’re not biased towards any one form

often called “the Napster Generation” because they’re “stealing,” but they are expressing themselves via this mixing; they’re using what’s out there

interesting hybrids of high tech and lo-fi modes — scanning print in order to distribute it digitally

overwhelming number of these kids are home schooled; those that are in school are doing poorly because schools are failing them
— home schoolers use digital technology much more; they’re no longer “cut off from classmates” when being taught at home

Kaiser Family Study:
children under 6–years old spend nearly two hours a day using screen media
83% use any screen media
83% play outside
— study doesn’t ask the right questions, though; what do these numbers actually mean? what do they represent?

parents are given no advice on how to help or shape these kids’ digital tendencies at home
media literacy begins in the crib

Five Key Questions that Can Change the World:

1. Who created the message?
2. What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?

— all based on kids consuming, not shaping, media

21st century learning needs: effective communication, high productivity, digital-age literacy

media literacy should be:
the ability to critically assess information gathered from multiple sources
the ability to appreciate works from many different aesthetic traditions
— give them vocabularies for what they’re already consuming
an understanding of the contexts within which media are produced, distributed, and consumed
the ability to express your ideas through a range of media (which kids already do)
the ability to assess which media is most appropriate for a given purpose (cell phones vs. text messaging vs. camcorders, etc.)
the ability to meaningfully participate in collective intelligence community
the ability to think in multimodal terms (multiple levels of interpretation; the videos of Tokyo Park show more than just sound, audio, or text would)
an ethical framework for thinking about our freedoms and responsibilities as communicators

the participation gap - need to worry for several reasons

the digital divide has been largely closed in terms of access, because most kids have some access through schools and libraries
— not really, though, because you can’t participate in this culture in 15 minutes on a public library computer, so now there’s a “participation gap”

also have the group that doesn’t do this at all and doesn’t even know about it

need to create space where the two groups can interact and learn from each other

media literacy should begin at the crib and should occur at every level of the culture:
– parents
– churches
– organizations (YMCA, etc.)
– schools
– media

Jenny note: libraries aren’t listed  :-(

all of this should be taught across the curriculum, which is a major paradigm shift - same as multiculturalism; integrated this into the curriculum, not just as an add-on module
– media literacy should be the same way

what are we doing through our classes now to build this into instructional curriculum?

Henry "Amazon 400" Blodget Now Reporting
On Martha Stewart Trial 11/18/2003 07:55 PM
The media loves fallen stars, and so it's really not a huge surprise to hear that "fallen star" analyst Henry Blodget - who once made a name for himself by predicting that Amazon.com's stock would reach $400, which turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy - has been hired by Slate to report on the Martha Stewart trial. Slate's editor suggests that Blodget will have a "unique perspective" on the trial - since both have been associated with questionable securities dealings.

Lane & Pattin' Juba

The Minstrel Show 2.1 - William Henry
Lane & Pattin' Juba 04/05/2005 01:22 AM
Single shuffle, double shuffle, cut and cross-cut; snapping his fingers, rolling his eyes, turning in his knees, presenting the backs of his legs in front, spinning about on his toes and heels like nothing but the man’s fingers on the tambourine. Dancing with two left legs, two right legs, two wooded legs, two wire legs, two spring legs–all sorts of legs and no legs–what is this to him? And in what walk of life, or dance of life does man ever get such stimulating applause as thunders about him, when, having danced his partner off her feet, and himself too, he finishes by leaping gloriously on the bar-counter, and calling for something to drink, with the chuckle of a million of counterfeit Jim Crows, in one inimitable sound!

Dancing Across The Color Line.   In 1842, Charles Dickens came to New York City, where initally, he was wined, dined and theatrically entertained by the upper crust. Afterwards, he then went slumming and soon saw William Henry Lane, aka Master Juba, a man of whose dancing a number of historians say is where tap dance began, step lively in a cellar in the neighborhood called Five Points--the very same neighborhood creatively misrepresented recently by one Martin Scorcese in Gangs of New York. The dance he did was known as Pattin' Juba and the first time it's rhythm--which we think of as the Bo Diddley beat--was used on a sound recording was in 1952, when Red Saunders and his Orchestra, with Dolores Hawkins and and the Hambone Kids recorded Hambone.

Super Science Fair Projects: Complete Guide to Science Fair Projects, Topics and Experiments
http://www.super-sc ience-fair-projects.com/

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Science.gov is the gateway to reliable information about science and technology from across federal government organizations. Science.gov 2.0 offers groundbreaking, user- friendly technology enhancements to the interagency science portal. While retaining the content and advances originally unveiled in December 2002, now Version 2.0 will search 47 million pages of government R&D results and present the result to the patron in relevancy-ranked order. The new technology sorts through the government's vast reservoirs of research and rapidly returns information in an order more likely to meet patrons' needs. Science.gov contains reliable information resources selected by the agencies as their best science information. The Science.gov Web site provides the unique ability to search across 30 databases as well as across 1,700 Web sites. The World Wide Web consists of two parts: the Surface Web and the Deep Web. Popular search engines can access the Surface Web, but not the Deep Web. Among the resources in the Deep Web are the huge databases created and maintained by the science agencies. Using a "metasearch" technology, Science.gov 2.0 brings the 30 largest of these databases together and makes them searchable via a single query. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer ™ Information Blog.
