Collective Intelligence/Participatory Culture Day

Mindy’s Presentation: 10:00-11:00

What is Collective Intelligence
“Like-minded individuals gather online to embrace common enterprises, which often involve access and processing information. In such a world… everyone knows something, nobody knows everything, and what any one person knows can be tapped by the group as a whole.”
Henry Jenkins, MIT

What is Participatory Culture?
Participatory media include (but aren’t limited to) blogs, wikis, RSS, maps, tagging and social bookmarking, music-photo-video sharing, mashups, podcasts, and videoblogs.

YouthLAB
Collective intelligence and Participatory Media is a large part of what we are doing in YouthLAB. When we divvy up the work and when we become peer-to-peer sharers of knowledge and media, we are becoming a more democratic and participatory global community.

Pizza Lunch at 12:00-12:30

THURSDAY – YOUTHLAB

PREPARING TO SHOOT “VOX POPULI” – VOICE OF THE PEOPLE INTERVIEWS

The goal today is to shoot “people on the street” interviews. The following tasks will help stimulate some ideas about questions, topics and shooting techniques. As you do these things, think about your own team’s questions and what other images you can shoot as b-roll.

1. Watch Word on the Street and post a comment. This can be about how they made the video, or something that really surprised or interested you.

2. Hit Reference under categories and then read the quote by Cornell West at the bottom about Thomas Jefferson.

3. Go to Interpretive Discussions under Categories and watch either Malcolm X on the House vs. Field Negro or Malcolm X being read by Mos Def and post a comment in response to the question.

4. Hit Wikipedia on the Tag Cloud and click on the definition of racism, whiteness, white privilege and/or institutional racism and peruse them

5. On tag cloud hit youthradio at the bottom and go to site. These are radio pieces made by youth in the Bay area. Scroll down to N-Bomb and then to Leaving the Mountains.

6. Now click on Photography on our tag cloud. There are two links – one is to Picture Balata who are children photographers in Palestine. The other is Hecter on Flickr who shoots photos of Chicago streets and graffiti and immigration rights marches. Please look at some of these photos because one member of your team will need to be shooting stills.

7. Get back together with your team and finalize your questions. Enter Mindy’s cell phone into your contacts list 847-902-9158

Our big topic is the LEGACY OF SLAVERY.  We are asking how it affects people today by looking at competing understandings and definitions of racism, use of language, hate speech, class inequalities, and segregationism. Focus in on one of these topics and keep questions focused so editing is straightforward. The questions should result in a range of different answers.

(Are you a racist? Are you an anti-racist? How do you show anti-racism?
Do you hang out with people of different races? If so, where. Do you have kids? Do they go to integrated schools? What about your work place?)
