Produsage Project

Alright, our professor launched a challenge at Twitter - #eme6414 challenge. So, in this challenge, we need to blog about our plan for produsage project, tweet the URL and give each other feedbacks. I accepted this challenge. So, let's get started!

So I want to create an informal learning environment and performance support system for my "learner." I would prefer to call them "friend" than "learner." A Chinese proverb said: in the company of three, one always can find a teacher. In my informal learning environment, my friends will be able to learn from each other and teach each other.

My idea is to create a local trail running community for my friends on Slack. The purpose of this group is to help local (Tully) trail running lover find a place to share their running experience, improve running skills, find running partner, join trail running contest, and make friends.

The anchor platform of my community would be Slack. Residents would be able to find all the notifications, posts, documents and almost everything in the Slack. I will create different channels for residents to discuss and share their skills. Based on their running abilities, different channels will focus on the different topics in aim to help residents to improve their abilities better.

The secondary platforms would mainly focus on Google Map, Twitter, IFTTT, Nike+, GroupMe, Instagram. Google Map is used to share and create trail routes, members would be able to add layers to the base map to create the new routes for the community. The community will vote and choose the route for residents to run and for the contest. Twitter, Instagram will be the places for residents to post and record their running activities and community events. IFTTT, Nike+, and GroupMe will work together to record running route, share running data to the residents.

Through joining this community, residents will be able to beat weekly or monthly goals, break the personal best record, learn running skills and equipment knowledge, and how to plan and set up a route on google map.

The Slack link has posted below, anyone can use this link to join the group and see how it is working.

    This sounds really cool Johnny! Will it be based in Tallahassee? I would love to participate. It will also give me a chance to get some experience with Slack.

4th of July, Nationalism and Social Media

I went to the Aaron Bessant Park, Panama City yesterday for the so called the greatest 4th of July firework show in the gulf coast area. The Aaron Bessant Park was decorated with flags, banners, and other decorations embedded with the elements of national flag's colors. People who joined this great celebration equipped with national flag colors' face painting, national elements' cloth, national elements' garniture, and, of course, their smartphone. From two hours before Panama City Firework Show until the party was over. People kept twittering, posting pictures on Instagram, texting on the Facebook, sending messages, and hosting live stream. No matter what they were doing, there was only one topic that is "4th of July". I noticed that people were creating a magnificent carnival embedded with nationalism at social media in that 3 hours firework show party. Whenever and wherever you are, with your phone or other appliance which is online available; as long a

Begin “Blog Story”

Hi, Welcome to Johnny's "Summer C 2017 Blog." I am so happy that I have a chance to get back to this fantastic social media tool again! Because I remember the last time I use blog was like 12 years ago!!! I want to share a story about blog and me today with you. I can still remember the first blog I created was on the "Sina" website. "Sina blog" is just a collective name which people who they set up their blog on the Sina' blog site. There's no doubt, at that time, "Sina blog" was the most popular blog site in China. But today, along with the rise of the web 2.0 and social media, “Sina blog" and other blog sites has gradually faded from our view. The reason why I created that blog is that my mom was a journalist, she was always on the cutting edge of the social media trend. When blog came into China, my mom thought that would be an excellent opportunity to generate a new mean of communication for her company. My mom told me

Protect your Personal Property is important in Web 2.0 era!

I know this week we should focus on intellectual property. But some bad news happened in my friends prompted me to write this blog. I know the intellectual property is important in Web 2.0 era, but I want to say so your personal property is more important! We are all aware that Facebook, Craigslist, Oodle, etc. are platforms where you can buy and sell junk, find free stuff, post your yard sale ads and so on. Maybe those platforms look like can bring you a lot of convenient and sure they did, but those platforms can also bring hidden danger to you. My friend was robbed in his apartment this morning. The criminal shoved a handgun to his head, ordered him to hand over his MacBook and PS4. When he told me his news, I was shocked in front of my laptop which showed the websites I just browsed. I asked him about the reason why and how the criminal can get his apartment and property information. He told me, he was trying to sell some stuff he does not want any longer. All his stuff infor
