SMSociety Conference '22

Last week I attended the Social Media Society Conference and made some cool new Twitter mates, who are active in the Social Media Industry, including those I interacted with most, @YiTing_Uhm in Hawai'i and @yuying_tan in Germany! Coincidentally, they're both Chinese, as am I! Yiting is finishing up her PhD and a thesis on TikTok, and I'm super inspired by her work on research about gesticulation and behavior on video... (Did I get that right???)

Also, I began following Thot Leedur, @DocDre and Popup Innovator, @EthanZ... who I'm actually in conversation with!!! I'm so excited to have listened to both of them during the conference and am especially excited that I got to interact with the notorious inventor of pop-up ads. 

Finally, as I write this quick reflection, I catch up by listening to the first Keynote speaker, Dr. Moya Bailey, @moyazb from Northwestern University.

-----

Post listening to @Moyazb's keynote about the ethics of social media/networks... The keynote was primarily about paying proper tribute to natives/indigenous tribes of areas where resources are being used that contribute to the upkeep, care, and maintenance of social network servers... Many of the servers need water to keep them cooled down, as well as physical locations. Iphone factories in China has high rates of suicide and also implemented anti-sucicide preventions... not in the way that you think (not MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND MAINTENANCE) but more so physical restrictions to prevent workers from committing suicide!?! (Isn't that just horrendous?!). Also, Dr. Bailey makes you question, where are old electronics disposed of? Can they be recycled and reused to create more technologically advanced equipment, rather than just accumulating into a giant mountain of trash, she suggests the answer to solving these issues is to consider the future in the perspective of a science fiction novel... Which I find totally inspiring and... perhaps when I have more time, this is an area I'd like to further explore.

Take a look and share your thoughts!! Also, follow these amazing academics!!



Thank you, Professors!!!!

Goodnight Sunday


Here's a pict of me grounding, but in a tree... Harvesting avocado!

    This week, I changed up my blogging schedule... I feel more at ease. Reflecting on writing blogs in the early years of greatest/Livejournal and Xanga (?) really gives me 'the feels'. Most of my early posts were centered around documenting my life, and my later childhood/early adolescence. As i began to develop blogging as an art, I started exploring coding and fashion/lifestyle blogs, easily influenced by two bloggers I followed during that time, one of whom I can't find these days, if anyone knows who it is, it was something about Katrina and pugs? and the other is a now Swedish author and influencer, Niotillfem... I was one of her first followers! I even have comments on my old blog from her before she got famous.

    I am attempting to brainstorm how I might continue blogging post eme6414... in a way that is authentic to myself. Open to hearing ideas, suggestions, and perspectives of classmates and their planned journeys after the class in regards to web 2.0 and blogging!

Tallahassee in Sight!

TiredTeacher initiated a Blog surf challenge that is really interesting, but also a bit of an investment. I'll try to do it this week, I've just visited four blogs already and left comments (Myurewitch's challenge was to comment). My systematic approach is to visit in intervals of four, but also, I like visiting from one blog that has a comment to bounce to another classmate's blog... for example I keep hearing about bathing habits, so obviously I had to visit ISDbyJDCL. I find link surfing the most fun way to connect to blogs (I like to click!) and wish people left more comments... Thank you, Melanie, for always leaving me a comment! 

Getting closer to graduation has me finishing up my Master's Comprehensive Exam, aka. my online portfolio. You can check it out here. I'm very happy to be getting closer to the Masters' Finish line. I'll be visiting Tallahassee July 25-August 1st, do any Tallahassee residents know what scenic views to visit. Any ideas on where to go? I saved Steel Magnolia's infographic! Which is your number one visit?

Quick Reflection: PSN for Healthcare

Major fan of this week's reading about PSN health care industries by Mettler. It made me think of web 3.0, decentralized networks... Although, I'm not entirely sure I understand. It seems if anything, PSNs are more centralized.

I really think that these private networks for professionals to interact, problem-solve, and make loose associations to their professional developments really use a useful platform.

Also, because of this class, I'm fascinated by the Facebook platform for communities and find that, although it has grown wildly organic and is a hub for tons of misinformation and spam, is actually quite a revolutionary platform, that can be resourced really well.

As I read Mettler's article, I thought about the initial reason I began the ISLT program, to expand the network of people who are educated about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy topics... I think that this article provides a great platform for psychologists, counselors who are certified in that area.

Thursday Special: While I was Silent/Respite Beach Meditation

 

This is a project done in a Visual Thinking class for Undergrad... the assignment was to create artwork using a different process than we usually would, so I took a vow of silence for a full week and then created this video artpiece... I cringe watching it now, in retrospect, how distrubing to play in the sand that way!!

Anyway, the meditation for this weeks podcast reminded me of the past project. The meditation can be done anywhere, anytime! I hope you enjoy!

See you soon, Digital Detox!

I've always enjoyed... (social) media, especially the 'creation' part of it. For most social media I use, I began first as a creator, using the platforms to express myself FOR MYSELF. At the beginning of this class, I was excited to possibly excel as a social media artist and bridge my self-expression creator self into a social media content creator/influencer... As the weeks went by and I pushed-pushed, created, interacted, explored... caught covid, had long covid, and watched as Roe V Wade overturned, I hadn't realized that I was living in a dark dark cloud of networkisms. The moment I received the 12am email from Dr. Dennen that it was respite/detox week, I felt that cloud lift. I can't begin to explain how awakened I feel from this 'Detox' assignment. I truly learned something about myself, that a career in social media IS NOT FOR ME. I enjoy content creation... I do not enjoy the hive of social media, even now, as I return, much rested from a week off, I can feel the stormy clouds beginning to surround my mind again...

What is a Monday even?

TLDR: Humbling of my egotistical self, a week-by-week recap of the course so far, and although a little overwhelmed, a lot of love sharing and a special #shoutout to my exitbuddy!

It's Monday... so... posting day.

Honestly, my ego was so big at the beginning of this semester, I thought I was going to SLAY the 3-blog-posts-assignment, with like... superb content (and a podcast) that was going to catapult me into my future, dream career of being a well-established blogger in the ISD industry... but here we are, more than halfway through the semester and I'm running on fumes... producing very-sub-par posts, that I am admittingly unproud of. I'd like to think that I am learning something about web 2.0 and eme6414 throughout all of this though... and that is, systems help, and so does planning ahead (in case of life-disturbances), that 'we can't do it all' (as Doc said multiple times, but I refused to believe it), that the internet is infinite and intangible.

The past few weeks have been really difficult due to long-covid fatigue. I require a nap every 3 hours for about 3 hours. And when I'm not napping, I'm functioning with half the brain power I usually am. 

This post is going to be a little long, for my own reflective practice. 

Weeks 1-7 topical reflections based on readings.

  1. Defining the Field
    1. Produsage interactivity with content and components of social media
  2. Digital Natives-Produsage
    1. Generational differences between technology users
  3. Communities-PLN
    1. Informal learning and personal learning networks
  4. Crowdsourcing Expertise
    1. Expertise in CoPs online communities, gathering information informally
  5. Intellectual Property, Privacy, Ethics
    1. Copyright rules, attributions, and all kinds of respectful ethics with online content
  6. Networked Knowledge Activities NKA
    1. Six ways of information transfer: collect, curate, negotiate, broker, create, and share. (I visited The Weave to remember that last one.) but not necessarily in that order.
  7. Design for Network Knowledge Activities

Okay, being honest here, I was entirely behind on last week's readings... but then I reached out to MYurewitch (my designated 'exit buddy'--her brilliant reference, not mine) about feeling a little overwhelmed and she gave me LOTS of great study suggestions. Two of which, focus on a single reading to review, and check out the class blogs... which, I had been doing the latter prior to last week... but I was hyper-focused on my late submission Community Norms assignment, which I am completely and utterly inspired by. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ONLINE COMMUNITIES. But this isn't new knowledge to me. I've been a techno-rat ever since I got my first screenname on ICQ. I love typing if you can't tell.
to me, the sound of a keyboard is like musical notes.
I need to redesign my plan for Monday posts, they aren't at all about 'setting a schedule' for the week.

Retrospective Readings

Sidenote: Been thinking about one of the first readings we read in this course, about the couple who went through a medical dilemma and reached out to their network of friends and were provided with insightful information about recovery... 

Reflecting on Dennen's Networked knowledge Activities and the experience that we are developing in this course... through different social media platforms, some strategies of imparting knowledge to an audience are more prone to brokerage vs. creation vs. curation... it's more simply addressable in action for the assignment that I have coming up about tracking data based on shares, I've provided a curation of shares in various creations and brokerages, I am excited for the data to build over this week to decipher where the majority of 'clicks' and webpage visits are... whether some of the mini-reminders, (perhaps even infographics), that I've shared on my previous post, the pinterest board. Please check it out, so I can track your data!

I also really enjoyed Kalei's reflection post, Goals on the readings this week.
