In class you gave some feedback to your classmates for their wikipedia posts, and we did some class brainstorming about how you might build on your post to develop your research project. Good work on connecting + providing one another with some ideas!
At the end of class we discussed the reading for Monday on produsage.
For class Monday:
Read: "The Key Characteristics of Produsage" (handout provided in class - extra copies in my mailbox in CAS 301 E)
Blog: This is slightly different from what is listed on the calendar. Rather than connecting to social networking sites, I want you to use this reading to pull together + reflect on the readings we have done so far. Write a little about how the concept of produsage connects to : 1) the features of the internet; 2) internet mindsets (as set forward by Lankshear & Knobel); 3) the concept of remediation; 4) the ideas underpinning the intensive information exchange for flashmobs; and finally, the community that underpins wikipedia itself. This does not have to be polished writing; the point of this post is for you to do some thinking about how the readings for the course fit together. Go for the ideas.
Have a good weekend and see you on Monday,
