Week6: Reading Reflection

-
I read two articles by Dennen, Rutledge, and Badgy for this week. I think both articles are based on the same data collected from a high school in Florida. Both of them had very interesting findings, which are similar to what I experienced in Korea. For example, there were two types of teachers- the ones trying to regulate students' phone use (Leave it out of your sight) and the others trying to integrate it into their class activities (I was one of them). I think schools require some sort of discipline in younger grades for teaching them how to sit properly, pay attention to a certain thing for a given amount of time, and get the given tasks done. But once the students pass that era of establishing healthy, basic studying (or living) habits, I believe schools are also responsible for teaching students how to use their social media for self-regulated learning, like a quote in the paper. "Students don't know how much information they have at their fingertips." Another ...

Week5: Lingering Questions

-
 I was out of town for the past weekend and the blogging totally slipped my mind. Hopefully, I don't get a lower grade than B on this course. lol * Now that I mention Classting, Class123, and stuff, I wonder how that market in Korea is doing. Also, wouldn't US teachers have similar needs? Are there any social media specifically designed for schools in the US? * Shaniqua mentioned in her comment on my blog post that crossing the boundary also happens between professionals. I wonder what that looks like. Because of the cultural difference, I may have crossed the boundary without realizing it when I was interacting with other students or professors at a conference. * I read somewhere that some teachers are paying to download some class materials from the Internet in the US. (That rarely happens in Korea, at least to my knowledge). I wonder how they feel about it when they actually pay to work.

Week3: Discussion Reflection

-
     I really enjoyed reading this week's discussion. And there are some interesting points I would love to add.      Lurking is acknowledged as a peripheral participation by some scholars. It is well elaborated in chapter 16 of this handbook of learning analytics: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q7hziWA3cM8SrLkXA4aJTZn1_EEwVllY/view?usp=sharing      And  there are some communities that force newcomers to lurk until they get used to the community's tacit rule. I never expected my interest in subculture can be academically helpful for me, but well, here I go. I think nobody from EME6414 would have heard about Daknunsam (닥눈삼). It means 'shut up and lurk for three months'. It was often used in Korean subculture online websites where people shared information about a game (usually Japanese). When a newbie comes in and leaves a post, asking a question in an inappropriate manner (actually it is a very appropriate and polite manner on mos...
