A Parent's Role In Media Literacy

A Parent's Role In Media Literacy 12/05/2003 12:29 PM
Professor Henry Jenkins at MIT has written a very interesting piece in MIT's Tech Review about a parent's role in the media literacy of children. He points out that, too often, parents take a simplistic limiting approach to all media. They simply tell their kids what they can't watch on TV, play on their video game console or visit on the internet. Or, they limit the amount of time they can spend on any of those things. While there's nothing wrong with any of those things, he suggests it's not doing what's really important: which is teaching the kids some media literacy and getting them involved. Instead of just banning things, he suggests, getting involved with what media the children are consuming, asking them questions, and teaching them to think critically about what they are seeing. This way, they learn to have a real understanding of what they see, and can deal with it on their own - rather than just be blocked off from the material and pretending it doesn't exist. He also talks about the importance of encouraging the kids to become producers of media as well. This way they can learn what's really happening when they see things online, on TV or in games - and have a better grasp over what's real and what's created.

Street Slang Proves Big Hit with Book
Lovers (Reuters) 05/05/2004 09:50 AM
Reuters - Persian is famed as the melodic, courtly language of medieval poets such as Omar Khayyam and Hafez, but it is a dictionary of vulgar street slang that is taking Iranian literary circles by storm. At Tehran's annual book fair, the woman running the stall of the dictionary's publisher Nashr-e Markaz had to explain to a disappointed stream of book buyers that the sixth edition had already sold out.

LA county says tech vendors can't use
BDSM slang for equipment 11/18/2003 07:48 PM
Mike from SOCALWUG shares an actual email from the Los Angeles County Purchasing and Contract Services Director, asking technology vendors to refrain from using the terms "master" or "slave" to refer to interrelating parts -- for example, a "master" hard drive controlling a "slave" client device. Perhaps Dom/Sub/Switch would be more apropos. Talk SCSI to me, baby: who's your (hard drive's) daddy? Snip:

The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to ensure a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be it actual or perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our manufacturers, suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to ensure that any equipment, supplies or services that are provided to County departments do not possess or portray an image that may be construed as offensive or defamatory in nature.

One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of equipment where the words ''Master/Slave'' appeared to identify the primary and secondary sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label. We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment or components thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise provided to any County department.

Geolocation tech slices, dices Web: A good, summary article on the next killer app of the Web: geolocation.

Type "dentist" into Google from New York, and you'll get ads for dentists in the city. Try watching a Cubs baseball game from a computer in Chicago, and you'll be stymied. Pre-existing local TV rights block the webcast.

The same technology is also being used by a British casino to keep out the Dutch and by online movie distributors to limit viewing to where it's permitted by license, namely the United States. [...]

As so-called geolocation technology improves, Web sites are increasingly blocking groups of visitors and carving the Web into smaller chunks — in some cases, down to a ZIP code or employer.

Thank God they're keeping out the Dutch...
