W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

1. Summary

Speaker Mitch Resnick is the developer of Scratch, where you can learn coding. He emphasizes the importance and versatility of coding education, starting with the story that children made "Mother's Day" cards using Scratch coding. 


2. Something new or interesting

After watching this video, I solved the misunderstanding about coding. I've always recognized the need for coding education, but I turned away from coding because I don’t become a coding expert. However, the speaker says that the reason for learning coding is not to become an expert, but to think systematically and to promote collaboration and creativity. I agree with him. Beyond simply learning coding, learning coding leads us to develop in a better way than when we have not learned it. There is a saying, "There is a big difference between knowing and not knowing.” When I studied coding and could make use of it, I became firmly convinced that I could see a bigger world.

3. In-depth perspective

The speaker questions whether young people are "familiar" with many technologies, but are proficient. I thought deeply about the required subjects we learn in college through this question.

Living in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, we are closer to technology than ever. It occurred to us that coding could be an essential part of us, not an optional part. As China's influence grows, we are learning Chinese as a second language and an essential subject.
In the same vein, coding is an essential part to study regardless of major, living in an era where the influence of technology is great.

I've seen 'Toy to Learn Coding' at a supermarket. When I was young, Barbie dolls were lined up in the mart and were essential toys. Could the day come when a toy learning coding becomes a must-have toy? If coding is essential for young children, college students who receive higher education cannot help knowing Coding. I think it's time for deep discussions to take place on whether to reflect coding in necessary education at Hanyang University.

    I also had an experience of seeing toys in the image of your writing in the mart and thinking a lot. When I was young, 'Kongsooni' was just a toy to play with. With that, we, human beings, developed social skills through role-playing and had a part that helped us grow along with play. Now, the 'Kongsooni', played by a 5-6 year-old child, teaches coding to children. With the development of IT technology and the growing demand in the field, I couldn't help but think a lot about teaching coding to people even when they are young.

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
