Imagining the futures of social media with 6th graders through storytelling in Scratch. Students explored issues connected with cyberbullying, scams and selling of their personal data, getting inappropriate content, addiction, personalized advertising and false information, and more. It has been only two days and the amount of experiences and issues raised is impressive. #CriticalDataLit#socialmedia#children#UOulu#Interact
Presentation from Torben Christensen on new work just published in @Nature#ClimateChange on the effects of the Russian invasion of #Ukraine on what we know about the #Arctic. The missing data from Russian #INTERACT stations are skewing our view
"Excluding Russian stations lowers representativeness markedly, with some biases being of the same magnitude as the expected shifts caused by climate change by the end of the century" #ChangingArctic#ArktisIforandring#Hindsgavl
A bill to create one of the nation’s most restrictive bans on minors’ use of #SocialMedia is heading to #Republican#Florida Gov Ron #DeSantis, who has expressed concerns about the #legislation to keep #children under the age of 16 off popular platforms REGARDLESS of parental approval.
I’ve been inspired by someone to be more honest and outgoing on this platform. I think I am naturally reticent on social media; and I feel I might be robbing myself of valuable relationships because of it. So here’s me being more #open and #honest.
It nags at me that I don’t interact in as #heartfelt a way as I could on here. My habit of using Mastodon entails checking in on a small group of contacts that I gathered onto a list called “Simpatico”. I do my check in the evening after work. That time of day I feel a little too tired and distracted to #interact much beyond liking and sharing posts. I think I could do better.
By the way. I am “SteeperThanDeep” on #TheStoryGraph. I’m in the process of moving my library from #Goodreads.
Heh, funny to see some very familiar #Scientist names listed like film stars. #Interact is such a cool idea though, I imagine this series northwards will be very good. Ht @EuropeanPolarBoard
This week at the #INTERACT conference I will present our research into Online Collaborative Story Writing systems.
We studied how people collaborate to write shared narratives, considering works since 2012. Among others, we review works by @andresmh@Riedl@msbernst
We put all this in perspective adapting Lowry's 2004 Taxonomy of Collaborative Writing to online authoring of narrative.
Our review shows how focus is on rudimentary activities like writing and revising. Yet, other important activities and roles such as outlining, leadership, facilitation, etc. remain left out. This is probably due to these tasks commonly remaining implicit in individual authoring. Yet, arguably these are what makes good narratives stand out.
