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 6

In this chapter, Van Dijck focuses on YouTube. YouTube started with the intentions of being an alternative to broadcast television. Like Flickr, its origins and its present state do not function the same. Where it used to focus on user generated content, the user is considered more of a consumer now with the intention of watching rather than posting. However, YouTube introduced some new abilities that have had a lasting impact. YouTube introduced the idea of streamed content, the ability to upload video, and combined these with aspects of social networking! YouTube videos are rarely downloaded, viewers do not own the content, but they have access to view the material. Where YouTube differs from Flickr is that in its adaptions of the purpose and focus, Some of the original users of the platform were disgruntled by the changes, but the majority of users supported the change and embraced it as a part of their everyday lives, particularly with their capabilities of meshing almost seamlessl

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 7

This chapter focuses on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is much different from the other sites discussed in the book so far, however its inclusion in the top influential actors in the digital landscape is undeniable.  Wikipedia is a "professionally run, volunteer based, nonprofit organization whose goal is the online production of an encyclopedia" (p. 132). It's nonprofit status came about due to the creation and maintenance of the Wikimedia Foundation. The sites is founded on five basic principles, but she never actually lists those 5 principles, but says that neutrality is the most important of them and while the elements that measure the success of the encyclopedia also cause "disenchantment" for those who feel that the focus on neutrality and the bureaucratic structure limits the site. Van Dijck discuses the users of the site and states that crowd management is one of the sites biggest strengths. She points out that it is neither the specialists or the generalists that

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
