Introduction

Hi everyone, 

My name is Stephen Bunn and I am a second-year student in the Education Policy and Evaluation PhD program. Before coming back to continue my education, I was a high school English teacher here in Florida, where I taught for 6 years in Duval and Columbia counties. I am excited to be a part of the EPE program and to continue my education and to develop a stronger understanding of educational policy, both as it currently stands and the process of developing them to meet the needs of America’s diverse student population. After completing this program, I hope to find work that allows me collaborate with like-minded individuals to explore social, political, and economic contexts in education, and develop policies and programs that meet the needs and improve the educational experiences of all of our students.

I'm currently riding out the pandemic in Lake City, FL with my family. Most of the time is spent either by the pool or hanging with my dog. His name is Bear, but I call him Chunk.

I hope you all have a great semester and I look forward to working with you this summer!

    Hi Stephen! (That's my brother's name, spelled the same way, too.) It's nice to virtually meet you. It's interesting to see that there are many of us taking this class from different fields of study. I'm in the Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies master's program and am interested to see how this class can help me in the field of instructional design. I never thought of this course from your point of view but hope it is just as useful for both of us. Your dog chuck is a cutie by the way!

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 4

Chapter 5 focuses on Twitter. Originally the creators of Twitter were striving to create a utility. A piece of information infrastructure that was an everyday and unnoticeable part of our lives, like electricity or phones. Van Dijck says that this created a paradox in that is "presumes Twitter to be a neutral platform upon which users freely interact, much like the Web itself...indifferent to the contents they exchange" but that "the streams of data are engineered to promote certain uses and users over time" (p.69). Van Dijck says this paradox of "enabling connectedness while engineering connectivity" and "propagating neutrality while securing profitability" show up in every aspect of the platform. This is kind of a trend in all social media platforms as the start out about the user, but need to pay the bills... The Twitter platform has has some pivotal contributions to the culture of connectivity (culture influence tech while tech influences cul...

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 2

In chapter 2, van Dijck gets a little more technical. He presents definitions for various aspects of the social media construction.  Technologies included: data, metadata, algorithm, protocols, interfaces, and defaults He broke down the concepts of users and usage: " Implicit participation is the usage inscribed in the engineer's design by means of the coding mechanisms" (p.33).  " Explicit use refers to how real or actual users interact with social media" (p.33). He discuses content (text, music, or videos) and how these display the opinions of the users, the things they are interested in or want, and other social trends and consumer practices.  He describes ownership of the social media site, governance (mechanisms, communication and data traffic management), and business models and intentions of the site and how these 3 things work with the previous 3 things (content, user agency, and content) to create online sociality. Ultimately the focus of this chapter...

The Big Sleep - Book Suggestion

Reading has always been a bit of an escape for me. As long as I can remember, I've been obsessed with fiction and the ability to get away from my present and go pretty much anywhere. Even as I am pursuing my Phd, I find that I am constantly buying (odd for someone with a Library degree) the next novel that I want to read. I almost always have a novel on me, I think I really picked the habit up when I moved to New York and realized there is so much time to read throughout the day that you might miss. Taking the train, waiting rooms, random periods when you are in between tasks, etc. So since then, I find that I get through more novels that expected, even though I'm in a period of study that requires a lot of reading. I've been on a bit of a noir kick. I love the old movies and I've discovered that some of my favorites are based on novels and that the author has written many more. I've always loved The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and found out tha...
