Web 2.0 and Intellectual property.

Intellectual property on Web 2.0
Web 2.0 can be related as collective intelligence. For example tihis blog, you and I can discuss and give feedback to eachother. O'Reilly woun't give an definition of Web 2.0, but the challange is how to get better the more people that use it.

 

Around year 2000 personal homespage were used. These days profilpages are used in Facebook, MSN, Twitter, blogs, wiki. Web 2.0 gives us the possibility of interaction on these pages, but also from an educational points of view, the Web 2.0 are giving us new aspects. We can use e-Learning, open access to institutional research, there are some preservations, Digital Preservation Coalition, that makes things safe.

Intellectual property (IP) covers a range of legal protections for creations of the human mind. IP have two category:
1) Industrial property- patent, trademark, idustrial pattern, geography indication to sources.      
2) Copyright- Literary and artistic works such as novels, poem, drama, movies, painting, design, photos, sculpture.
If we use intellectual property on Web 2.0, we have to make sure that we know the ethics rules about things.
Law of copyright for creations of the human minds from the Norwegian Department of Culture can you find here. As we can see in this law, we can retain the copyright for as long as we live, and 70 years after our dead. Norwegian law of patent. Do you want to see the symbol of copyright? Click here. And the symbol for trademark, click here.
A video that tells us about how copyrights protects our creation:

Those who make software, music, photos, design, movies etc. and doing it for a living, must get paid for it. We must be critical, and read the information that follows things we want on Web 2.0. An example can be: Microsoft Office. We can buy it, and give credit to those who have made it. We then get modernisation from Microsoft and that's important when it comes to security for our PC. We can also get a smaller part for free. The same goes for music. If we want to listen to music we need to buy it, and not download illegal from Internet. Therefor, we need to read the lisence, and we need do use ethics also on Web 2.0.
Intellectual property rights:
If you have made something that you want to preserve, you have some rights:
Paris-konvensjonen fra 1883 for patents, Trademartks, Industrial design. (Industrial property)
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
TRIPS- international agreement for Intellectual property rights.
Morten Magnusson gives us seven option for download free music here
So, there are atlternatives! Use your ethics and have a nice life in Web 2.0 :-)

INFORMATION PRIVACY

                  You’re your own publisher!

Facebook, a social media, primary intended for students at University of Harvard in 2004.These days it is expended to the whole World, and at Jan. 2011 there were more than 600 million active users at Facebook.At Facebook we can stay in contact with friends, family, college, former friends/students, all over the world.
What is Facebook? Take a look:

And here are some options how to category your friend, familiy etc.:

E-MOM Gloria Bianco tells us about her experience of social media.At Facebook we can all be a personal publisher of information for example with picture, text, video, games, interest, products, and sale of commercial products/games etc. We can find all sorts of informative things/groups on Facebook:We can create or take part of groups Tollfritt.org            
People’s engagement can result in chance
We managed to keep the "brunost" producer home in Skjåk! When we join all these groups or person to person we need to be aware of the information of privacy we put on risk.

Do you think that nobody sees you? And remember what you've said and done when you publish online?Well, you’re wrong. Indeed the employed of Facebook does! If you look at a Facebook-profile for a 40 years old girl you’ll see that all the information on the right side on the page is related to this profiles age: things to buy, games, tests, friends, etc. If you look at a profile of a 20 years old girl, the stuff will be related to things that encourage 20 years old girls. That is not casualness!! And it is to remember when we are online and chare information!!!
Some can use their "printScm" (to the right of F12) and take photo of every pages they would like at Internett, and save it at their computer. So, if you think your picture are gone forever if you delete it, you'll may see it again!!
According to Frank Johnsen (VG) it is a myth that we cannot delete our data from Facebook.
Some can hack your accunt, and "see" you. Media Awareness Network (MNet) is a web-side there teacher can get information of topics from Internet Safety, privacy, online marketing, cyberbullying, and evaluation of online information to bias and stereotyping and hateful content on the Internet. This can be good help for the young students. If you play the game "Farmville" or use any other apps at Facebook, the "Apps" can see you because you have given them permission to do that! Take a look what TV2 can find out about you! Richard Allan, "slettmeg.no" gives us the possibility to check out what the different apps know about you. "slettmeg.no" is a webpage, that gives us guidance if we feels insulting online.
Data Protection Directive, regulate threatment of privacy information in EU.
An issue today are Data Retention Directive  An EU-directive from 2006, that decree retention of data. All kinds og e-mail, phone call, text message send or received, will be retended for 24 months maximum time period. Only a court order can give information.
Ingvild is not been answered if her DNA are retention.
Thousands of Norwegian are retention in a illegal DNA-register.
The fifth of april Norway will decide if they accepting the Data Retention Directive from EU. And the answer is: YES. But there are protests! The last words is not said in this case! Read what "Folkets Info" says, and "stopp datalagringsdirektivet"

ETHICS ASPECTS OF BLOGGING

How to behave on Internet?

Good behavior needs to be the same face to face, and on Internet. Some good advice:

·        Remember, there are real people you’re dealing with.

·        Follow the same rules face to face as you do online.

·        Know who you are; lurk before you leap.

·        Respects others time and broadband. Check your files for size.

·        Share your knowledge; that’s what Internet is all about. When knowledge is shared with others, it’s become even more valued.

·        Remember to cool off when the “Flame war” is over. Bury the conflict when the debate is over, and remember it’s a case you’re discussing, not the persons you’re writing to.

·        Respect others private life.

·        Don’t use power; try to reflect what you point out.

·        Try to forgive others misstep, they may be newbie, and rather need guidance from you.

THE SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF ICT

Today we can see that ICT is being used in the industries, economic life, education/school, public management, and not at least private home.

From history we know that for hundreds years ago they also did communicate from long distance. With smoke signal from the top of a mountain, people were able to communicate.

The Vikings did it, the Indians did it, and ordinary people did it

to send messages to one another. The sender and the recipient had to “speak the same language” to avoid misunderstandings. As we can imagining, there had to be some misunderstanding sometimes.
That’s an issue today, as well. Try to send a SMS without a Smiley! You might be asked: “angry?”

We communicate and exchange information mostly through Media today. Mass media is an idea of spreading information, news, entertainment, PR., from one to many. Internet can also be called mass media.

The speeds of development to ICT are exploding. Forty-fifty years ago we had a clear identity, and lived mostly in one network. We were born, raised, sick, wedded, and died in one and the same network. Today it is more complex, the society and family-structure are very different. The world has become “smaller”, we travel and live all over the world. Therefore we wish today’s ICT welcome. We can see and interact with one another

The technologic today are developed so that we ordinary people can understand using it. Today we stay in contact with our friends and family by using: Mobil phone, Internet (Twitter, Facebook, e-mail, MSN Messenger, Blog, Skype…). Of course, we still stay together face to face and interaction J But when we’re apart, these medium are often being used by us. With this medium parents can stay in touch with their children and grandchildren all over the world. With web-camera we can see each other as well. I can stay in touch with my niece in Australia. She’s staying there for six months, studying. Facebook has been a blessing because of the weather down under: rain, flood, hurricane, and now fire. 

Sick people can stay in contact with family, friends, and unknown people from Hospital- bed. Check out this blog: Regine Stokke
After a TV- debate we often hear: go to www”xxxxx”.no
In a newspaper-case (online) you often can blog the case. Rana Blad
If we follow the same ethics rules online as we use offline, the interaction on Internet can be just a good experience :-) Be welcome to give a comment about your experience of the life online :-)

Mobile phone and Internet; the new virtual platform of communication!

How does children’s language development in this way of communication?

Development of language for children can be classified in different stage. Some communicate with their eyes:

Language is a cognitive, dynamic process, and change in social and cultural context. It can be used as a tool to communicate, chare experience, valency, attitude, emotional.  

Look to  Lyngheimschool; schoolchild, 12 years old learn Russian:

Earlier we used language verbal and the traditionally written language. These days we also use the virtual communicate-platform, and our social network is expended. We can easily communicate across country, culture, language, age, gender. The tools we’re using are Internet and mobilphone (sms; Short Message Service)

According to Berit Skog, researcher NTNU digital youth-culture, already in 1999 40 % of children 14- 15 year, had their own mobil phone. Skog also think that SMS- language is a consolidate for our dialect.

2011 children from 7-8 year old have their own mobilphone.    
Not everybody is satisfied about our time using the computer; Helsedirektoratet! We often title language online as “chat”.  The chat-platforms are limited, so we can’t write long letters. Inventive as people are, we started to code words. Here is some example:

lol = laughing out loudBTW = by the waya/s/l = age, sex, locationJ = satisfied :-s = confused/unsureThis is partly a hidden and complex language. To be able to understand what children are receiving and sending to each other, adults better be aware of these new codes.Parents, check this out:Secret SMS-codes
More secret codes
Chat-language

Children are able to change these codes from the context. They change whether they write to friend, parents, or grandparents. The SMS-language does not deviation much from the normal language as many may think. Children, who get along with it, get better read- and write competence than those who doesn’t.

Ingunn Kjøl Wiig says something about this

TO BE AWARE OF, ONLINE!

Children change code, but so can adults. We must teach our children to be careful what they do and say when they’re on Internet and mobilphone. Adult can manipulate their profile, and give an impression to be someone their not.

Tricked & abused, an.no

Grooming is a new word, and is related to cases like this
Word and pictures are powerful weapon.
Don't abuse it!

THE EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS OF ICT

You and I can use ICT and participate in the development of the society J

Today, with the development of ICT, we are able to study at College from long distance. We are using Learning Management System (LMS) to communicate and delivered tasks between teacher and students. The communication and feedback between students are also something that develops learning. Mine experiment is that I got the same, or maybe more/better feedback from the teacher online, than in a classroom with 30 students.

Some LMS using at schools today: Its Learning, Fronter, Moodle.

Lev Vygotskij’s (Russian theoretician) perspective of socio-culture fit in here: knowledge creates and bought further by interaction. Education with ICT builds on a constructivistic view of learning.
This video shows us, by Andrew Johnson, Lev Vygotskij's theori about socio-cultural learning: 

This video shows us, also by Andrew Johnson, the theori about the Zone of proximal development (ZPD)

Education with ICT builds on a constructivistic view of learning. Lev Vygotskij extended the theory, and pointed the importance of social frame (Context) around our action. Social action comes first, then we’ll learn individual. If I get some help from a teacher, guidance, or a longer coming student I can reach a higher level. “Scaffold- building” (Jerome Bruner)

That’s the thing about LMS. In my school we use ”Moodle” to interaction online with the teacher and other students.  With portfolio assessment I can deliver a task in my portfolio, and the teacher will give me guidance and comments to make it better to the next delivering. Sometimes students are allowed to comment my work. That’s good learning. It makes me learn in the operative way, and not by figurative, because I’ll have to give my self-development both reflection and cooperation.

This way of learning, portfolio assessment, can be a useful tool to students that need adapted training.

Jean Piagets theory of learning can also fit here. We create our text and develop it in a process. We can build, change, and tear it apart all the time, and ICT makes it visible.
Today's text is not a prosess where we first draft, and then log it. I start to write, and then change it frequently till I publish the whole thing. This constuction of knowledge fit to Jean Piaget's learningtheori's   and other support of constructivism
We can use ICT in many ways, and the development of ICT in online learning is for the better for us people. Both development for broadband, and many option for long distance learning.

Reidun's blog

Hello!

Welcome to my blog. This is the first time I create a blog. I'm a student at Nesna University College, IKT og læring, and we have a task about making blogs.
Here is a picture of me in my favourite element;skiing in the mountain. A nice thing for my contentment, and to get some distance from our Information society :-)

Have a nice day :-)
