Screen Time Survey
This is my first topic.Min1996 (discuss • contribs) 15:23, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Screen Time Survey (Min)
Screen Time Survey (Min) In gradually progressive modern society, more and more people cannot live without science and technology. With this situation, there is more and more screen time during people’s daily life. According to Michael (2012), We are always online due to rapid development of technology, we have no choice but to embrace it just because it is everywhere and so close to us.

The way I choose to distinguish screens is what will I do with it and what can I get through these different kinds of screens. In my opinion,the most important element to distinguish screen time is identity of users. This is the main reason I decide to classify them into three categories: laptop (40％), television (20％) and phone (40％).

To mention first, Laptop time cannot be ignored during our daily life. I am a student, I use it for our basic study and interpersonal social contact. On the one hand, I use laptop mainly for study because I need to look up vital information through it. It is also very convenient for me to do some reading so that I can get the latest knowledge from laptop. Many people like me who need to get information anytime and anywhere always carry laptops in their backpacks. On the other hand, there are many social software platforms getting more and more fashionable. These types of platforms are formed to keep contacts with family, friends, even fans on our social media accounts. Therefore, laptop time becomes an necessary part among all screen time.

Secondly, television is an another good way bringing entertainment and pleasure to people. I prefer to watch videos such as variety shows and TV play series at home rather than go outside at weekends. Television time is the great moment I can find for relaxation. However, just as it showed on website, nowadays there is a widespread attitude that we do not need television anymore. The sticky situation is that people who have a liking to watch videos would rather using other types of screens, such as laptops, tablets and smart phones. (TV SCREEN TIME, 2018)

Last but not least, In this day and age, almost everyone relies on phone, especially smart phones. To some extent, it helps us live in a better quality life. This kind of phones combines all functions such as GPS, map, calender, recording, calculator, alarm and so on. It seems that we will not need those tedious instruments anymore as long as we take smart phones. In addition, phones not only contribute to our basic life, but also promote our social connection, just like laptop, we need phones to contact with family and friends due to its easy reach. Another reason we use phones frequently is that we can share. We take camera photos to record our daily lives. It will bring a good sense of achievements if we receive a variety of likes after uploading them online. But equally important is that the pictures and videos are polished and touched up before posting which require a long time. As a result, phone become a significant tool for people to live, socialize and show themselves which leads to phone time may account for the largest proportion of screen time, particularly among young people who always want to keep pace with time.

In summary, people’s use of screens is distinct obviously. But the only certainly is that contemporary people spend too much time on screen, both teenagers and adults. As we all know, screen time usage for teenagers is often mentioned, what we need to pay attention is adult screen time. (Rudly, 2018) From my point of view, it remains everyone to take action to try to use phone less often in order to avoid cell phone addition.

Instructor Feedback on Wiki Exercise 1

 * Please note that I've deleted text that was an exact duplication of your Exercise work (above)
 * Posts of this standard roughly correspond to the following grade descriptor. Depending on where your actual mark is in relation to the making criteria as outlined in the relevant documentation, it should give you an idea of strengths and weaknesses within the achieved grade band overall:

Marginal. Among other things, poor entries may just offer links without real comment or apparent point. They may offer nothing more than poor-quality synopsis or description of material of dubious relevance. They may have serious clarity problems (including dead links, random graphics) which affect comprehension (or even worse, admin warnings or take-down notices for copyright infringement). They might be off-topic, private trivia, or of unclear relevance. The wiki markup formatting will be of a poor standard.


 * This work is at the lower end of this grade band, so there’s clearly room for improvement here. I think in order to engage with the wiki exercises a bit more, it might be useful for you to take a closer look at the assessment brief to get more of an idea of how to hit those targets.


 * Making more use of the wiki functionality and markup would have gone a long way to improving fluidity and functionality of posts. I suspect that, if you become more familiar and proficient with the platform, that this will make a considerable difference.

Detail:
 * The above comments may seem a little negative, but please don't be put off by this - there are some useful elements in your work and there is a real effort to try to engage with and understand the cited material.
 * Although not always successful (some of your opening comments are a little too general and sweeping) this is a pattern that you should maintain: reading the set material, and reading beyond this in your independent study, to build your argument and improve the quality of your work.

General:
 * 'Reading and research': evidence of critical engagement with set materials; evidence of independent reading of appropriate academic and peer-reviewed material. Pass.


 * 'Argument and analysis': well-articulated and well-supported argument; evidence of critical thinking (through taking a position in relation to key ideas from the module, and supporting this position); evidence of relational thinking (through making connections between key ideas from the module and wider literature, and supporting these connections); evidence of independent critical ability. Marginal.


 * 'Presentation': good use of wiki markup and organisational skills. Marginal.

Bailey, K. B. (1994) Typologies and Taxonomies An introduction to classification techniques,Sage University Paper Series on Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences, series no. 07-102. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage

In this book, Bailey pursues the questions such as how do we group different subjects on a variety of variables, should we use a classification procedure in typology, in taxonomy, or a combination of both. The author explores the advantages and disadvantages of classification procedures and uses classification methods to improve research. Her research focuses on topics about clustering procedures including agglomerative and divisive methods; the relationship among various classification techniques; how clustering methods compare with related statistical techniques; classification resources; and software packages for use in clustering techniques. The book is useful to Kaire’s topic due to the reason that Bailey suggests that a good taxonomy must be built on key characteristics or dimensions that need to ‘be both exhaustive and mutually exclusive’. This book can provide basis to Kaire’s work that seek light on the complex landscape of virtual work so it is suitable for Kaire’s research. (This is an annotated bibliography for the article ‘Towards a taxonomy of virtual work’ written by Kaire Holts )

Social Movements Case Study （Min 2724072）
Social Movements Case Study （Min 2724072） Recent years, due to the rapid development of society, including industrialization and urbanization, more and more social movements have been developed. The increasing democracy of modern society, people's pursuit of freedom of speech, education and economic independence are the reasons for the unprecedented development of social movements. It becomes a special way for people to express their disagreement with authority. It is the main tool for ordinary people to participate in public events.

ACE is working on a project which will supplement other research by compiling information from other social movements that is relevant to animal advocates. One of those cases is which profiles the children’s rights movement. (Allison 2015) If people want to know whether animal rights advocacy is successful, they can look at the success of the child rights movement, because it represents an example of advocacy by a group of neglected people, which is similar to Goodwin and Jasper’s observation that social movements guide people to look at society in a new way through development of social movements. (Goodwin and Jasper 2014)

Mario Diani argues that nearly all definitions of social movements share three criteria: ‘a network of informal interactions between a plurality of individuals, groups or organizations, engaged in a political or cultural conflict, on the basis of a shared collective identity’. (Mario 1992) In the movement of children’s rights, many proponents have not been the leading proponents but they had previously been hit as children and so could speak of what it felt like in the first person and the results of the movement will affect their own interests directly. In some cases this does not appear to have been an influential form of advocacy, but it’s important to recognize this difference may have implications for advocacy techniques. (Allison 2015) Movements succeed when it solves problems that people really care about. It relates to Goodwin and Jasper’s view that groups and individuals debate their own futures. (Goodwin and Jasper 2014) In most conditions, the emergence of social movements has a certain positive significance, which is to promote social development, with the interests of the majority of people as the premise. However, on the contrary, There is also a downside to this approach, which can interfere with government departments. For example, the 2011-2012 demonstrations in Russia were a result of the demonstrations and protests that followed Russia's 2011 duma elections, in which many Russian citizens, political activists and journalists took part to protest against fraud and illegality in the elections. (Miriam 2011) So people need to take an objective attitude to social movements. In regards to technology they use, People protest not only through demonstrations but also through special technology--Internet, they express their views on Facebook and Twitter. It's a new form of social movement, one that's much safer and more effective than the traditional social movements of many years ago, which were disorganized and chaotic.

In conclusion, Social movements, as a collective action, focus ordinary people and governments on specific political or social issues. They implement, resist or undermine social change. They offer a way for social change that starts at the bottom of the country. It is worth noting that the role of technology and communications play important part in social movements.

What Are Wikis?(2724072-Min)
What Are Wikis?

Living in a fast-changing world, the whole world is linked together. Thereby a number of ways are being created to communicate and share information. People need to get in touch with pop culture to make ourselves more integrated into the society. Obtaining any materials through Wikipedia is a typical example of modern people's participation in pop culture. It is very popular in western so we do not really think about it anymore (Greg 2018). This article will focus on Wikipedia and its affiliate, Wikibooks.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for users to write collaboratively and freely. Wikipedia is constantly changed and improved by many of people per hour. This extraordinary website makes collaboration much easier (Wikipedia:Introduction 2018). The most common question is when can people use wikis, instead of a content management system which is more formal. The answer depends on what people need to complete (Choate 2018). For example, we need to work together as a team to complete an assignment. A great way to do this is to choose one platform called Wikibooks on Wikipedia. There are a variety of other parts on Wikipedia, such as MediaWiki, Wikidata, Wikisource and so on. This article will focus on the use and management of Wikibooks.

Wikibooks has many advantages. Firstly, sharing resources and ideas with each other becomes a possibility. As Lane mentions, imagine each single person in the world has free access to the summary of all medical knowledge. This is the ultimate goal of Wikipedia (Lane 2014). Thus it can be seen Wikipedia, which enables people to obtain knowledge unconditionally, has truly played the role of information sharing in the Internet era. What’s more, Users can keep eyes on the contents which they need to contact with at any time. Personally, when using Wikibooks, I can check teachers and classmates with new content at any time. Last but not least, the most important thing is that it can help people reflect on themselves. Through observing other students' engagement and comparing with my own, I found my own shortcomings. I have learned to post my thoughts on discussion page and how to manage it. Although there were some ups and downs during this period, I kept reviewing my own behaviors to improve myself.

Every coin has two sides. Wikipedia also has a dubious place. When people use Wikipedia, they always consider Is Wikipedia a reliable source? This is because it can be edited by everyone. Being able to edit freely is both a good thing and a bad thing.reference Regardless of its doubtful quality, Wikipedia remains the dominant platform for exchanging ideas and providing knowledge.

In conclusion, Wikipedia always stays up--to-data so that it is becoming more and more prevalent. I learned a lot in Wikipedia. It is increasingly becoming an indispensable method for people to communicate in their daily lives.

Suggestions
Hi I observed you haven't put any images so far. I was just wondering if you want to give it a try? I think it adds value to the overall feel of the page. Just go to WikiCommons and type the keywords in the search bar according to your requirements. Then scroll down and click on the 'open in media viewer'. On your right you can see multiple icons, choose the last one that says share and embed. Click on embed and copy the link from there and paste inside the text on the required page. You can choose the placement. If you wnat to see how the link looks like then click 'edit' to review and get a better idea. I have done it here, hope this helps!

And oh by the way I have clicked this picture. You can also do it if you can't find any image related to your work or projects then just click and upload on WikiCommons so others on this community can also get benefit out of it. Awesooome92 (discuss • contribs) 19:42, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Laila! Of course I want to try to add some useful images. Sometimes I am a little confused what kind of pictures I can use and I am also worried if I have the ability to use pictures correctly. Anyway I will try to add some images related to my mini-essays right now. Thanks! You are always so kind! You really help me a lot!Min1996 (discuss • contribs) 20:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Laila！See, I have add one image in my "what are Wikis?" Is that accurate?Min1996 (discuss • contribs) 21:08, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey, please don't say that. You're the one reminding us about all the deadlines and classes so YOU ARE KINDER!:) I am so glad you tried. Yes this image is relevant, good job! Please don't get confused. Everyone is learning and we are here to help each other. Also, this is how I do it and there are many other ways of doing it. You can also edit caption and increase its size - here it says thumbnail. If you cannot find the image or you’re not satisfied with it (the chances of this are very high because options are very limited) so just try looking for more options before you click on 'open in media viewer' just scroll down on the same page and go to the categories, there you can find more variety of images that are closish to what you're looking for because those ones are hand picked and mutual added by volunteers. So just experiment and explore! Cheers! Awesooome92 (discuss • contribs) 21:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

I just edited the caption, you also try. You can click ‘edit’ to see. You can write inside those square brackets '[ ]'Awesooome92 (discuss • contribs) 21:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

We can talk about about anything about our assignments! Then we will get improved at the end. I am so lucky to have you as my classmate!Min1996 (discuss • contribs) 12:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Instructor Feedback on Wiki Exercise Portfolio
Posts of this standard roughly correspond to the following grade descriptor. Depending on where your actual mark is in relation to the making criteria as outlined in the relevant documentation, it should give you an idea of strengths and weaknesses within the achieved grade band overall:


 * Pass . Among other things, pass entries may try to relate an idea from the module to an original example, but might not be very convincing. They may waste space on synopsis or description, rather than making a point. They may have spelling or grammatical errors and typos. They might not demonstrate more than a single quick pass at the assignment, informed only by lecture and/or cursory reading. They may suggest reading but not thinking (or indeed the reverse). The wiki markup formatting will need some work.

This work tends to be at the upper end of this grade band, so a little improvement will go a long way to attaining a higher mark in future. I think in order to engage with the wiki exercises a bit more, it might be useful for you to take a closer look at the assessment brief to get more of an idea of how to hit those targets. For instance, making more use of the wiki functionality and markup would have gone a long way to improving fluidity and functionality of posts. I suspect that, if you become more familiar and proficient with the platform, that this will make a considerable difference.

Detail:
 * Ex#2: this annotated bibliography entry is a little dry and would benefit from more creative use of the platform to generate a more visually-engaging price e.g. captioned images. It is also, if anything, a little short – you could have added at least one more sentence, if not two to flesh out your account here. One of the things that strikes me about this piece is that, although fairly well written for the most part, you seem to mention both “Bailey” and “Kaire” – so my question would be, who is the author of the article under review?
 * Ex#3: you have chosen some very good examples as vehicles to illustrate social movements and demonstrate some understanding of social movements as civic activities. I would have liked a smoother connection made between the elements in your argument rather than as a succession of statements. In addition, it is rather a shame that you didn’t use the platform’s affordances (e.g. use of captioned images from Commons) to help illustrate your argument, and to visually engage the reader.
 * Ex#4: This piece is characterised mainly by factual description at the beginning. Whilst empirically accurate, this doesn’t really add anything to your response. Once the piece gets moving, however, you draw some connections between different approaches, using a range of set and independently-sourced reading. Incidentally “(Greg 2018)” is not really a correct citation – although I do appreciate that you give due acknowledgement, which is the correct thing to do. The use of wiki formatting and visual potential really makes a difference here, and frames the text in an engaging way.

General:
 * 'Reading and research': evidence of critical engagement with set materials; evidence of independent reading of appropriate academic and peer-reviewed material. Pass.
 * 'Argument and analysis': well-articulated and well-supported argument; evidence of critical thinking (through taking a position in relation to key ideas from the module, and supporting this position); evidence of relational thinking (through making connections between key ideas from the module and wider literature, and supporting these connections); evidence of independent critical Pass.
 * 'Presentation': good use of wiki markup and organisational skills. Pass.

Instructor Feedback on your contribs to Essay Discussion Page
Contributions to discussion of this standard roughly correspond to the following grade descriptor. Depending on where your actual mark is in relation to the making criteria as outlined in the relevant documentation, it should give you an idea of strengths and weaknesses within the achieved grade band overall:

Satisfactory. Among other things, satisfactory contributions may try to relate an idea from the module to an original example, but might not be very convincing. They may waste space on synopsis or description, rather than making a point. They may have spelling or grammatical errors and typos. They might not demonstrate more than a single quick pass at the assignment, informed only by lecture and/or cursory reading. They may suggest reading but not thinking (or indeed the reverse) and will have little justification for ideas offered on Discussion Pages. The wiki markup formatting will need some work. This is at the lower end of this grade band standard, I trust that with perseverance you are likely to do much better in time. In addition, you were asked in the brief to address the following guidelines in terms of contribution, engagement and conduct, Here is an evaluation of those elements of your activity on the Essay Discussion Pages: •	Students should be engaging at least once a day, for the duration of the project. The following points illustrate how this engagement is evaluated.

•	Evidence from contribs to both editing and discussion of content (i.e. volume and breadth of editorial activity as evidenced through ‘contribs’). These are primarily considered for quality rather than quantity, but as a broad guideline: o	Each item on a contribs list that are 3000+ characters are deemed “considerable” o	Each item on a contribs list that are 2000+ characters are deemed “significant” o	Each item on a contribs list that are 1000+ characters are deemed “substantial” o	Items on a contribs list that are <1000 characters are important, and are considered in the round when evaluating contribs as a whole because of their aggregate value o	It is expected that you will make at least one contrib per day, for the duration of the project


 * Marginal. Fairly inconsistent engagement throughout the duration of the project. A small number of smaller, but very important edits made on both your own pages and on the main essay discussion page. Unfortunately, there are relatively few of these and not at all at the frequency or volume expected for this level. There are, additionally, a small number of contribs that could be considered substantial, but no significant or considerable contribs (assessed according to the criteria above, and as set out in the assessment brief). Although it’s important to acknowledge that this is about quality of engagement much more than quantity, one would expect at least one or two of these more weighty contribs in there which would have made a positive difference to the essay and to the project overall.

•	Engagement with and learning from the community on Discussion Pages o	Evidence of peer-assisted learning and collaboration 	Pass o	Evidence of reading, sharing, and application of research to the essay 	Pass. o	Evidence of peer-review of others’ work 	Pass.

•	Reflexive, creative and well-managed use of Discussion Pages o	Clear delegation of tasks o	Clearly labelled sections and subsections o	Contributions are all signed 	Marginal.

•	Civility. Your conduct is a key component of any collaboration, especially in the context of an online knowledge-building community. For further information about this in a Wikimedia context, please go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Five_pillars. Please respect others, as well as observe the rules for civility on wiki projects. All contribs are moderated. 	Merit. GregXenon01 (discuss • contribs) 12:09, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
