Alex Reid's Miscellanea U: post-disciplinary networks in social mediaAlexandra M. Pickett
This document discusses the rise of social media and its implications for education. It notes that 346 million people read blogs worldwide in 2008 and Twitter grew 752% that year. It asks what parts of writing and new media will be accepted to compose an online educational practice. It lists various social media tools like Ning, PBWiki, Twitter, Second Life, YouTube and iTunesU that could be elements of a social media classroom. It discusses how decreases in transaction costs through open systems can support new activities and lower the cost of failure. It argues education should equip students with skills to understand how publishing online can influence their lives and democracy.
The document summarizes a presentation titled "Demystifying Web 2.0" given by Darin Morris and Dean Cannell. It discusses the evolution of how the internet and world wide web have been used over time from simple communication platforms for research institutions and individuals in the early 1990s to advanced communication platforms for everyone today known as Web 2.0. While Web 2.0 was introduced as a term at a 2004 conference, the core of Web 2.0 is about user involvement through contribution, discussion, and collaboration rather than new technologies. It emphasizes harnessing collective intelligence and user engagement over the traditional software release cycle.
Technology has both positive and negative impacts on personal relationships. It has made the world more connected but has also reduced face-to-face interactions as people spend more time indoors using gadgets. Technology allows online services and remote work but also eliminates the need for physical meetings, payments, and interactions. It has introduced new problems like cybercrime and poor parenting as children spend more time with devices than people. While technology provides conveniences, it can jeopardize relationships if it replaces real human contact and bonding.
This document provides a history of social media from 1960 to 2009. It discusses early platforms like PLATO, email, BBS systems, IRC, and the World Wide Web. Major social media sites are introduced, like Friendster in 2002, LinkedIn in 2003, MySpace and Flickr in 2004, and Facebook and YouTube in 2005. Twitter arrives in 2006 and Foursquare in 2009. The document outlines the growth of social media and how people's need for social connection online has evolved greatly over time.
The document discusses the importance of the Internet for education. It defines the Internet as the largest and far-flung system connecting over 25,000 networks worldwide. The Internet has been one of the most important developments in human communication since call waiting. It allows for easy access to information through browsing and has the potential to positively transform education, organization, and participation in society.

Digital inclusion is important for older people for several reasons:
1) Using the internet can alleviate loneliness and social isolation for older individuals by connecting them with others.
2) The internet provides educational and learning opportunities which can benefit older adults.
3) Going online allows older people to access financial and public services more easily.
However, there are also several barriers that prevent greater internet use among older populations, including lack of skills/training, cost issues, and fears about privacy or reliability of technology. Organizations like Age UK West Cumbria are working to increase digital inclusion for older adults by providing awareness programs, training opportunities, and technical support.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

4. The Skype Journey.
• Skype is a great way that Elected
Members can use to build
relationships with residents they
previously wouldn't have engaged
with.
• Skype Ward Surgeries are a huge
success in my Ward.
• However, this method won’t work in
every ward for a number of reasons.
• How councillors can use Skype to
reach out to residents:-
