analyzing ways that members of a culture use technology as a locus for evolving or conflicting cultural practices and social change?

1. What are the 2 or 3 points you think are most valuable from this week’s readings? What about for this week’s video clips and documentaries?

Here is a template for how to approach answering this question each week: In [name of reading], [author] states that [main point] which is important because [why].

For this question, each main point should be expressed in no more than 280 characters (tweet length!

2. Choose one point from this week’s lectures, readings, or media, and connect it back to one of the key course questions that feels most relevant to you right now, and explain the connection you are making as best you can. It could be something that seems most important, or something that is new to you – it’s up to you how to take this question on.

Again, here are our DIGC 160 3 Guiding Questions:
– How do we understand something as a “new” technology?
– How can we analyze the ways that members of a culture use technology as a locus for evolving or conflicting cultural practices and social change?
– And, how does culture affect our understanding of a technology and how we use it?
Don’t include your own questions yet – that’s the next question!

3. Thinking back on the readings and media for this week, what questions do you have? What needs more explanations, more examples, or more detail? If you have no questions, try out giving an example of your own on one of this week’s concepts, and connect your example to one of this week’s topics or main points. Aim for 1-3 questions or comments.
For each question or comment you include, you have a maximum count of 280 characters (yes, consider these each tweets)

4.Connection ideas from this week’s readings, lectures, and/or media to topics of your own interest (aim for 1-2, but some weeks you might have more).

You should pick specific examples, concepts, or terms, and connect them up to your own interests, project, or goals. During week 1-3, the field of what you can choose and how you use it is wide open – during weeks 4-7, this is the place to connect up what you read to your own capstone project. This question is deliberately left open – there may be only one point that really stands out for you, but there also might be a few. Take on no more than three things.

For this question, for each idea you discuss, present it in tweet format, with a maximum of 280 characters. (hint: you can talk about multiple ideas – each one is its own tweet)

In this week’s synchronous session, bring in a question or a comment about each case study to share and get clarification on (you will post it in the Zoom chat or share out loud – your choice). This session is scheduled to be a live Q&A with Mr. Matt Murray, whom you will be hearing from in this week’s interview case study.

Submit your question/comment to this tab by 12:00pm noon on the day of the session. I will be sharing your questions with Mr. Murray ahead of the session to help him prepare for your questions and interests.
