Tentative d'encourager les acteurs (les jeunes) de l'actualitˇ de faire leur propre coverage. David Galipeau http://www.lift06.org/doku.php/people:speakers:david_galipeau (celui-ci je devrais pouvoir le comprendre... mais il a un accent passablement amˇricain... en fait non je comprends pas trop...) MATT JONES (UK, Nokia) Technology: Things that are with you, and not things you are within. Mammalian universal: PLAY Example: work of art which is a gigantic mirror... first reaction: "beautiful art" -- second reaction: "whee, mirrors on the ceiling!" Mundane is the new fun (tool-toys -- hello kitty toaster) game play < ludic activities < being playful build a prototype which opens up the different levels of playfulness (simple, solo play; connected, exploratory play; connected, constructive, complex play) play != entertainment REGINE DEBATTY art and technology. Presentation of art projects linked to technology. => public reactions! (people who like it, or hysterical people with death threats) Artists faking things, prototypes. nikeplatz spoof marketing projects (e.g. take a US movie poster and replace the US flat with the EU one -- du coup, il y a quelque chose qui ne colle pas. Voulons-nous garder notre identitˇ europˇenne?) Radio implant in tooth. Art projects to make people react. Afternoon CORY DOCTOROW "Now with fewer desirable features" (choice between Kazaa and iTunes...) DRM: an invitation to abuse. Hypoth¸se: compˇtition entre femmes dans les milieux geeks, ce qui fait qu'il y a peu de "sisterhood" comme le dit Anina. Rivalitˇ car milieu d'hommes. As Anita says: I was there when my dad would take the computer apart. girls perceive themselves as much worse as maths than they are, and boys think they are better. The death of E-learning How do we create life in a classroom? We don't learn in a virtual world. We are animals and live in a physical worlds. Embed technology in life => classroom with touchscreen tables, kids aren't aware there are computers in their classroom. Useful E-Learning won't disappear. (e.g. learning plant names etc...) E-Learning is not web pages/quizzes/animations etc. Tool which allows students to shape argumentation. Represent arguments and supporting data visually. e.g. what make the dinosaurs disappear. Newsgroup monitoring tools. (Activity). For teachers, or to give the students an image of themselves. Ways to monitor group collaboration. (e.g. number or words exchanged in the team against number of actions taken or attempts made.) Noise sensitive table. Visual representation of how much each person speaks. One of the ways of learning in a group is conflict. Augmente le besoin d'expliciter, d'argumenter. geographical charts of where participants to a newsgroup in EPFL are (linux, mac) When you know where the IT and Computer Science departments are, you know which chart represents which newsgroup. We are spatial animals. Need to integrate space in learning. Goal of technology: increase campus effervescence. Good e-learning doesn't necessarily look like e-learning. Answering "yes, go ahead" to a 2-page e-mail creates frustration, but saying "yes, go ahead" in person as an answer to the same e-mail is ok. Google Book Search Publishers part of the program not in cause (rights have been negociated, permissions granted, etc) Libraries program (il parle plus lentement et clairement, ¨a va beaucoup mieux) advantage for the library: google pays for everything, including lawsuits. advantage for google: digital copy of the entire catalogue. AND: right to use the digital copy, index it, make content available, at no cost, whereas the library's rights on the scanned catalogue are limited (no massive, commercial use / public access). full scan, full index, full-text search on the web (free) -- limited display of search results (full text for public domain works, snippets for copyrighted works) Here, google has not been authorized by rightholders to scan (= reproduce) the works, and there has been no statutory exemption. Google offers an opt-out mechanism. Does it fall under fair use? Allowed to use the copyrighted work within reasonable limits to promote science/arts. four factors: - purpose and character of the use - nature of the copyrighted work - amount and substantiality of the portion used - effect of the use on the potential market what it boils down to: google is preventing the publishers/rightholders from licensing the content of their catalogue for inclusion in their site with full-text search. BUT anybody else could create a competitive search thing. (So they're sad of losing exclusivity, right?) So, if there is a market for full-text search of books (if it's not speculative) do google's actions harm this market, or is it healthy competition?
