RESUMO: Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar as possibilidades que as novas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação digitais, auxiliadas pela Web 2.0, oferecem ao ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Espanhola tanto dentro como fora da sala de aula. Utilizou-se a rede social Facebook, por ter grande número de usuários que nela passam significativa parte de seu tempo navegando, seja conversando com amigos, seja publicando seus comentários, seja curtindo fotos, páginas, participando de grupos e/ou comunidades. Essa rede social virtual também permite que o professor encontre ferramentas que o ajudarão na tarefa de ensinar, ao mesmo tempo em que permite ao aluno desenvolver autonomia para (re)aprender a pensar. Demonstra-se que o Facebook apresenta características da EaD e, portanto, pode ser considerado um instrumento adicional disponível para essa modalidade de ensino.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino de Língua Espanhola; TIC; Web 2.0; Facebook; EaD. ABSTRACT: This article aims to describe the possibilities provided by the use of new digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), aided by Web 2.0, on Spanish teaching both inside and outside classroom. We analyzed the social network Facebook because it has a large number of users who spend a significant amount of time on the site chatting with friends, posting comments, liking photos and profiles and participating in groups. This social network also provides teaching tools that will help students to develop their autonomy to (re) learn how to think. It is shown that Facebook presents EaD characteristics and therefore can be considered an additional tool on language teaching and education.KEYWORDS: Spanish Language Teaching; ICT; Web 2.0; Facebook; Distance Education.

Collective Construction

Web 2.0 has transformed the way people interact in the internet, creating new challenges to the production and sharing of information and knowledge. This need is also felt in the educational context, as teachers have to adapt their strategies and methodologies to the digital information and communication technologies in order to take advantage of the tools of collaborative work. To stimulate discussion and fomentation of pedagogical use of DICT, the authors present in this chapter the experience of collective construction of teaching materials that involved the blog as a tool, which allows relational connectivity, hypertextuality, and interactivity between subjects of synchronous and/or asynchronous mode. The study is exploratory and documental in nature, which include the areas of studies on ICT, Web 2.0, and blog use by teachers and students.

The Relationship

This article discusses the relationship between technology and Inuit identity. Using interviews, it explores how a group of students from the Arctic College located in the community of Iqaluit in the Canadian Arctic, use the social network Facebook. It was found that in addition to an expected use of the social network associated with the script promoted by the technology, Inuit youth used Facebook to access content related to their identity in various groups, discuss sociocultural issues, and remember traditions. This article argues that Inuit identity is an example of how indigenous cultures have to be understood as something dynamic, constantly changing, for which information and communication technologies are fundamental. Furthermore, this article claims that rather than understanding Facebook as a tool that is adopted by Indigenous people—as previous literature tends to hold—the use of digital media should be conceived as part and parcel of identity.

Digital China

China’s Digital Nationalism explores online networks and their nationalist discourses in digital China. It asks what happens to national community sentiments when they go digital. Nationalism, in China as much as elsewhere, is today shared through digital information and communication technologies. It is adopted, filtered, transformed, enhanced, and accelerated through digital networks, and it interacts in complicated ways with nationalism ‘on the ground’. Understanding these processes is crucial if we hope to make sense of the social and political complexities that shape the twenty-first century. In China’s Digital Nationalism, Florian Schneider analyses digital China first-hand, by empirically examining what search engines, online encyclopaedias, websites, hyperlink networks, and social media accounts can tell us about the way that different actors construct and manage a crucial topic in contemporary Chinese politics: the protracted historical relationship with neighbouring Japan. Using two cases, the infamous Nanjing Massacre of 1937 and the ongoing disputes over islands in the East China Sea, Schneider shows how various stake-holders in China construct networks and deploy power to shape nationalist discourses for their own ends. These dynamics in an emerging great power, this book argues, provide crucial lessons on how nation states adapt to the shifting terrain of the digital age.

Digital health humanities is an emerging research method that blends critical analysis with the use of computational tools to explore research questions related to digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) in healthcare. As a method that draws from and extends the fields of digital humanities and health humanities, digital health humanities employs digital tools to conduct health humanities research focusing on ICTs as objects of inquiry within the domain of health. Through analysis of the social and technical features of digital health technologies, this method emphasizes engagement with patients, caregivers, and other research participants that use the technologies under investigation. This chapter explains how to identify research problems suitable for exploration and intervention using digital tools, gather data on the need for and appropriateness of a digital health design intervention for a specific problem or patient population, and assess the necessary social and technical features of digital ecosystems.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies can be seen as an important factor for social inclusion in its different aspects - economic, social, relational and informational, among others. Inclusion potentiality is even more relevant for groups of people who face limiting life conditions which determine social barriers. This study investigated the social support offered to people with disabilities based on the social network analysis method. The research objective was to make the online support dynamics for low vision people, friends and relatives evident, having as case study the Facebook Low Vision group. The social network modelling and quantitative analysis were performed from user data collection, posts, comments and likes. Contents were classified according to the type of support (Emotional or Instrumental) and according to its intention (Offered or Requested), represented in graphs as indicators for analysis. Results pointed towards a larger use rate of Instrumental and Offered support although a more intense and comprehensive exchange of Emotional and Requested support was found. Data collection limitations indicate the need for more empirical studies on the social use of socio-technical networks for different types of social support. This theme points to a research agenda about the role of information and communication technologies as a possible condition for inclusion, life quality and well-being of people with disabilities.

ABSTRACTThe paper develops some of the conclusions, reached in Floridi (2007), concerning the future developments of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their impact on our lives. The two main theses supported in that article were that, as the information society develops, the threshold between online and offline is becoming increasingly blurred, and that once there won't be any significant difference, we shall gradually re-conceptualise ourselves not as cyborgs but rather as inforgs, i.e. socially connected, informational organisms. In this paper, I look at the development of the so-called Semantic Web and Web 2.0 from this perspective and try to forecast their future. Regarding the Semantic Web, I argue that it is a clear and well-defined project, which, despite some authoritative views to the contrary, is not a promising reality and will probably fail in the same way AI has failed in the past. Regarding Web 2.0, I argue that, although it is a rather ill-defined project, which lacks a clear explanation of its nature and scope, it does have the potentiality of becoming a success (and indeed it is already, as part of the new phenomenon of Cloud Computing) because it leverages the only semantic engines available so far in nature, us. I conclude by suggesting what other changes might be expected in the future of our digital environment.

Empirical Tests

This research makes empirical tests of a Bourdieu concept for sociology of science: the social hierarchy of objects. Looking at the specific field of Education, the research sought to measure the position of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) within this hierarchy. To this end, we collected metadata of thesis defended in postgraduate programs in Education in Brazil with grade five and higher between 1996 and 2016. The data indicated the production by HEI and geographically. Also the keywords were analyzed in a Network and indicators of centrality and density were used to map the hierarchy of objects and, consequently, the distribution of scientific capital among them in the field. Empirical tests have shown that DICT and distance education, as necessarily mediated by a technology, have relevance within the field as a concentration of symbolic capital. The analysis showed that the Hierarchy formed by the technologies segment was denser than the total network and that there was a considerable weight for the distance education modality. Regarding the hierarchy of objects in the DE subfield, a certain autonomy was observed in relation to the complete field, since its objects turned to subjects more important to the modality related to the student. Finally, statements from other DE studies were compared with the research data that showed some quantitative divergences, but qualitative convergences emphasizing the same observed trends and corroborating the analyzes of this research.ResumoEsta investigação faz testes empíricos de um conceito de Bourdieu para a sociologia da ciência: a Hierarquia Social dos Objetos. Olhando para o campo específico da Educação, a investigação procurou mensurar a posição das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) dentro desta hierarquia. Para tanto, foram coletados metadados de teses defendidas em Programas de pós-graduação em Educação no Brasil com nota cinco e superior entre os anos de 1996 e 2016. Os dados indicaram a produção por IES e geograficamente bem como as palavras-chave foram analisadas em rede e indicadores de centralidade e densidade foram utilizados para mapear a hierarquia dos objetos e, por consequência, a distribuição de capital científico entre eles no campo. Os testes empíricos mostraram que as TDIC e também a EaD, por ter necessariamente mediação por uma tecnologia, têm relevância dentro do campo enquanto concentração de capital simbólico. As análises mostraram que a Hierarquia formada pelo recorte de Tecnologias chegava a ser mais densa que a rede total e que havia um peso considerável para a modalidade a distância. Sobre a hierarquia de objetos no subcampo EaD, observou-se uma certa autonomia em relação ao campo completo, pois seus objetos se voltavam a assuntos mais caros à modalidade relacionados ao aluno. Por fim, foram confrontadas afirmações de outras investigações sobre EaD com os dados da investigação que mostraram algumas divergências quantitativas, mas convergências qualitativas enfatizando as mesmas tendências observadas e corroborando as análises desta investigação.Palavras-chave: Educação, Sociologia da ciência, Produção científica, Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação.Keywords: Education, Sociology of science, Scientific production, Digital information and communication technologies.ReferencesÁVILA, Patrícia.
