Share and Share A Lot

I really loved Lawrence Lessig’s Remix. I especially liked his distinction between me-regarding and thee-regarding motivations. Lessig does a good job of describing why and how we contribute to the open internet. We are obviously in a state of flux. Tensions between for-profit and open (some of which profit and some of which do not) [...]

Open

06.14.10 Posted in Moxley, Social Media by Shelley

I think the highlight of GLS 6.0 was the closing keynote by David Wiley. His talk, Openness and the Future of Education, was enlightening, amusing, and educational, everything a closing keynote should be. As luck should have it, I am also reading some other texts on open-sourcing this week, so I now have a few [...]

Long before I became interested in the ways people interact online, I was struck by an essay written in 1987 by Wendel Berry. In the essay, Berry explains why he “is not going to buy a computer.” To support his proclamation, he employs his activist background and claims an already unhealthy dependence on energy companies [...]

Back To Basics

02.04.10 Posted in Social Media, collaboration, research by Shelley

I already mentioned that I’m revisiting an old project in hopes of extending it this semester. I’ve received some feedback from my major professor that I need to integrate some more theory into my proposal. I think he’s right. Not only do I think he’s right, I also think right now is the perfect time [...]
