W2: My opinion about Resnick's one / Have you used Wiki before?

 1. My opinion about Resnick's one.

Mitch Resnick insisted that "Let's teach kids to code". The main basis of his argument is that learning how to code is not for becoming computer experts, but for understanding the world deeper. 

I also agree with his opinion. And there are 2 reasons. 

The first, learning how to code means that we learn the computer's thinking method. That's important, because not only they are in digital generation, but they can be more creative by learning it. 

The second, knowing how to code can become a power of knowledge.  In the past, it was the privilege of the power elite to know texts. However, in modern society - especially in Korean society - illiteracy is almost gone compared to the past, so writing is no longer the property of the ruling class. However, if coding is not taught to children, coding will also be exclusive to a particular class of experts. To prevent this, we should teach kids to code. At the same time, we should recognize that not all kids become computer experts.


2. Have you used Wiki before?

I am not familiar to using Wiki, because Wiki is not main search engine in Korea. Most Koreans use more Naver than Wiki, and so do I. But I have an experience which I used similar one to Wiki. That is called 'namu-wiki'. It is a Korean language Wiki based on the seed engine, and established April 17th 2015. As you can see its official slogan(namu-wiki, the tree of knowledge which is grown by your spontaneity), It is expended by participation of various people like Wikipedia. I have usually used this one, when I watched movies or dramas. There is a lot of information that I didn't know even after watching all the movies and dramas. It was an great opportunity to experience the power of collective Intelligence.

    I also use Namu-wiki when I try to understand the meaning of movies, dramas and games. I think Wikipedia and Namu-wiki have a lot in common but they are different in the neutrality. People can post and edit something on Namu-wiki with their own opinions so many posts on Namu-wiki are subjective. Therefore, I think we should be more careful to get some information from Namu-wiki.

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...
