Theoretical concept- collective intelligence


Theoretical concept- collective intelligence

Reading through Lens 1 I learnt the importance of connectivity on this course as it is about being a community, we use web 2.0 to connect with other people frequently via Skype and our blogs. We are all able to create discussion/ debate via comments and get involved with what we each are doing to progress with our studies. We use our “collective intelligence” to help reflect on the process of the course, we don’t all have to agree or be doing the same thing we are just communicating our own ideas.
Mark Zuckerburg (Facebook founder) said that connectivity is a basic human right this links in with ethics as we question the truth behind this statement. We don’t all have equal access to the internet and therefore connectivity for some is more accessible for some than others. I think the internet comes with certain assumptions that swamps some cultures for example I think generally people assume that the older generation are very behind with technology and the internet, they are not as connected online as people assume the younger generation are. Although this can be said in some cases, it wrong to assume based on age how connected you are online. First world countries are generally more active due to the mass production of technology in these countries therefore have an advantage online to the third world countries  where connectivity is not as accessible to all. The world of dance has massively changed with web 2.0 as we have things now such as Instagram and YouTube where we can look online and gather ideas and learn about new styles of dance. This has made it vital in the industry that you network and connect with others online as this is the way you find out about auditions and things you can do to improve yourself as a dancer in the 21st century.

    I like that we are connecting our own ideas... I agree that web 2.0 has had a massive impact. I would be lost without YouTube, and have acquired most of my teaching jobs through dance teacher groups on Facebook. While many changes have had a positive impact on our practice, I feel that the huge abundance of information can sometimes be detrimental to certain aspects. Is there now more pressure on a dancer or teacher to be able to perform or produce a higher standard of work that can now be found online?

      Thank you or your comment I agree with this that sometimes the abundance of information can be overwhelming, I think now there is a lot more pressure on dancers or dance teachers to create a higher standard of work due to videos and sources online.

Hello my name is Oona Thompson welcome to my blog After yesterdays Skype call I found it very helpful in giving me an overview of the course. I have gathered a greater understanding of the degree and what I should expect over the next term. I learnt on uni hub when I log in you can go to "my learning" and then "BAPP" in this you can see your module handbook which I have since been reading through. I have also looked at the academic calendar and looking at the dates putting the dates of the Skype calls in my calendar so I can work around it. We were told by Helen on the call the deadline for any work is the 17th of December which is an important date in my calendar insuring I am organised and can plan up to that date. I have looked at the reading materials briefly since the call to familiarise myself with what we will be studying. I was told about filling out a study plan which I have since completed and sent back as we were told we will use in our first one to...

Inquiry

I have now begun my essay introduction and my chosen inquiry is "What support systems are out there for independent dancers" This is very broad but my focus is particularly on those with body image struggles/eating disorders and also those with injury as a lot of thought goes into their physical well being whereas there isn't a lot that goes into their emotional and mental well being. I have chosen this as my inquiry topic as i think it would be great to understand different peoples experiences and journeys through dance, in order to help those in the future. Any ideas on what you think about this topic would be appreciated greatly Also how are you all getting on choosing which methodology's you are using to get your information be it interviews,  questionnaires or any other ideas you have ? I would love to hear your ideas Oona
