A Person-Centered Guide to Demystifying Technology: Working together to observe/ question/ design/ prototype/ and implement/reject technology in support of people\u27s valued beings and doings
No full textDigital technologies old and new are not objects that can be packed inside a box. They are a seamless/ indivisible combination of people/ organizations/ policies/ economies/ histories/ cultures/ knowledge/ and material things that are continuously shaped and reshaped. Every one of us innovates-in-use our everyday technologies/ we just do not always know it. Not only are we shaped by the networked information tools in our midst/ but we shape them and thereby shape others. For us to advance individual agency across diverse community knowledge and cultural wealth within the fabric of communities/ we need to nurture our cognitive/ socio-emotional/ information/ and progressive community engagement skills along with/ and sometimes in advance of/ our technical skills which then serve as just-in-time in-fill learning. This is the call placed by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King/ Jr. – to rapidly shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. In support of this shift/ each session of the book begins first with a social chapter with background knowledge probe/ conceptual introductions/ and a lesson plan for the session. A technical chapter follows with technical introductions and hands-on activities/ and a concluding wrap up and comprehension check. The technical of the Orange Unit especially focuses on electronics and physical computer components; the Blue Unit highlights software through a series of introductory programming activities/ with possibilities for alternate pathways for those who bring in some existing programming experience; the Rainbow Unit then brings the hardware and software together into networked systems/ concluding with a final design adventure.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1808/thumbnail.jp

The Jedi Way: A Linguistic Analysis of Anakin Skywalker\u27s Fall to the Dark Side in Star Wars: The Clone Wars
No full textThis presentation examines three main linguistic components of the character Anakin Skywalker in the T.V. show Star Wars: The Clone Wars to determine if there is a verbal indication of his development from Anakin Skywalker into the villain Darth Vader over the three-year course of the Clone Wars. A program was created in Python code that analyzed the corpus, comprising every spoken word or sound Anakin made over the course of seven seasons, and retrieved data from the corpus. The three areas of focus were the frequency of a preselected list of positive and negative words; the positive and negative connotation surrounding the terms “jedi”, “council”, and “war” determined through a close reading; and the average sentence length for each year. The analysis later determined that there was little to no indication of Anakin’s development in the frequency of the predetermined set of words nor in the average sentence length, however the close analysis of the sentiment surrounding the terms “jedi”, “council”, and “war” shows Anakin’s changing mindset as he moves closer to his metamorphosis into Darth Vader
