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 it was a simple site for everyone to participate due to its easy accessibility. Through this book, I learned that Wikipedia has been systematically changed through various discussions and cooperation activities up to the present day.

3) Discussion point – What’s your favorite chapter?

There are various chapters in the book. Which of those chapters did you most impress?

- I was very impressed with the puzzle of openness. Wikipedia is accessible to everyone due to its online nature, but it has caused various problems. Through this book, I learned that various efforts (discussion, prohibition of access, restriction of administrator privileges, etc.) are being made to solve this problem. Because of this chapter, I have a critical idea, 'Is openness always good?'

    I agree with you. I always had doubts about whether opening was always right. Who sets the line of openness, and are the beliefs and values that someone has right? When there is a debate over the criteria, it comes to mind who sets the absolute good.

    I agree with you. Regarding the openness of Wikipedia, I think the advantage of Wikipedia's openness is obvious to all, and that is freedom. But because of the openness of Wikipedia, Wikipedia's information rigor is still lacking.

    Oh, right! I agree with you. I also thought about 'openness' after reading that chapter. Personally, I'm impressed with The Benevolent Dictator. I found out about the leadership of Wales and looked back on me!

    Suyoung, I read your writing well. The most interesting chapter in this book to me is 'puzzle of openness'. As I wrote in my post, I could feel a lot of interest in that Wikipedia maintains a balance between openness and control.

W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar: In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers. As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research. NAVER: And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea.  As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for acade

W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

 Through this video, I realized that programming education is not only as deep and professional as I know it, but also more flat and interesting. With the change of the times and the advancement of technology, the times we experience are indeed constantly changing. I believe that programming is just a way of learning like reading. It does not depend on any subjective intentions but exercises people’s logical thinking and creativity. China There is a common saying that “giving others fish is better than fishing for others.” I believe that programming does not exist as a short-lived technology, but behind it is that people need to keep learning with the times and have an open attitude. The purpose of early childhood education is different from the professional education we receive now. Early childhood education is more inclined to teach children the way of thinking, rather than the part of applying knowledge or technology in a professional subject as we are now learning. Therefore, addin

W13/After reading “Categorization”/HARI KIM

Summary) Categorization is a kind of list for dividing topics, and it helps users find information easily. All documents must be in at least one category. Therefore, categories must be well chosen. How are the numerous articles on Wikipedia categorized? First, the category should be chosen as the most helpful topic when someone reads the article. And usually an article doesn't exist in both the top and the subcategories at the same time. If there are few documents in the category you have in mind, you should check to see if they belong to a subcategory. It is also important to maintain a "neutral" perspective when categorizing. New/Interesting things I learned) I learned that usually one document does not exist in both the upper and subcategories at the same time. Before I knew this information, I had made a mistake in categorizing documents. In categorizing articles about rivers, the article was already part of a subcategory, but I have made mistakes by adding a top cate
