When I read the common sources of human error (pp.219-220) I think how lonely we are .

I will try from now on to express in a few lines what I consider a new contribution for me or just a critical thought.

For this week I consider that the contact with the strength of week ties is essential to understand part of the functioning of digital social networks in the present. Although there is a strong emphasis on the labor area, its renewed application in other areas could be very fruitful.]]> 2023-01-31 14:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463121006 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463121325 I decided to do this field work by visiting a government platform, specifically that of the Immigration Service. I am concerned that something so fundamental for so many people right now is only handled virtually. This means that people without Internet access or computer skills can be left out of the procedure. I did not find out how this organization prevents this situation and, if there are preventive measures in place, they should be readily available and communicated in some effective way.]]> 2023-01-31 14:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463121325 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463121618 I would have liked to hear this week's speaker, but for health reasons I was unable to. 

I think I understand the importance of why there is an emphasis on information in the workplace, but I still can't make it a compelling topic for me.]]> 2023-01-31 14:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463121618 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463123457 I was especially excited about this class. Being a leader I was able to articulate with my classmates and apply a game with the idea of self-evaluating to what extent we are internalizing certain ways of reading information from the environment. 

It is interesting to see how I begin to see some situations in more conceptual terms such as seek, exchange, need for information and others.]]> 2023-01-31 14:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463123457 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463124134 On Case, D. O., & Given, L. M. (2016). Looking for information : A survey of research on information seeking, needs, and behavior. Emerald Publishing Limited.

When the authors talk about the Internet as a metaphor for IB I think about why they do not relate Shannon to cybernetics and how this metaphor relates to the computational metaphor of the 1960's counterculture.

I am struck by how western centered these theoretical developments are. I do not find a reference to the situated study of the subject matter in an adaptive sense. Nor a mention to other types of views on information in general and IB in particular.

If a typology could be extracted from this section, it could be the following? 
searching
systematization
processing
communication
reception

On page 20 about Communication: the assumption here is that all information generated seeks to be communicated... is it so? what about everything that the internet generates today?]]> 2023-01-31 14:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463124134 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463126577 The module has positively surprised me. A first impression is that, regardless of what I learn in terms of content, this will be a great experience about e-learning and how to organize a virtual learning space. The use of almost all the resources offered by the platform is being useful not only for this course but also to quickly situate myself in all the subjects I have started to study.]]> 2023-01-31 14:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463126577 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463140869 Chatman, E.

p. 209: all this makes me think about life in general beyond the prison example...

p. 213: it would be interesting to see the relationship between reward-punishment-adoption of new norms and world view....

I was interested that the guest speaker faces the challenge of taking into account the principles of indigenous data sovereignty. Anyway, open data still raises questions for me: who decides what is published, how, when and in what form? How to respect data governance and at the same time rely on the transparency of increasingly criticized state agencies?]]> 2023-01-31 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2463229322 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2496654609 Definitely the access to theoretical frameworks on IB has been a contribution of this course to my professional and academic life. I regret that some of these perspectives only circulate in the field of Information Studies when they deserve the attention of other disciplines.]]> 2023-02-27 16:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2496654609 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070612 I loved finishing the course with the challenge of trying to model IB for a specific context. I think taking a theoretical study that lacked the graphic dimension and coming up with a way to visualize the conceptual aspect was a great exercise in applying what I learned.]]> 2023-04-09 17:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070612 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070687 The pitch synthesis exercise of the final report was good to have an overview as a guide. However, I had not yet analyzed all my observations and did not know whether to structure my report around one group with two sub-groups or to take the study as two separate but related groups. ]]> 2023-04-09 17:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070687 eleonoragonzalezporcel https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070940 Perhaps I have been too optimistic with my own assessment, but what is clear to me is that it is the subject to which I have paid the most attention during the trimester. I am convinced that this is because it is well structured, with clear objectives and relevant and timely information. 
On the other hand, I am afraid I did not understand the dynamics of the individual padlet. From my own notes, I can see that I concisely marked ideas, questions and notes on class dynamics. However, I can say that what I learned is much more than what I recorded there. 
Although the approach to some of the methods was interesting, what I most appreciate is having made reflexive contact with theories that I did not know existed and that now can give a conceptual basis to some of my professional practices.
Thank you!!!]]> 2023-04-09 17:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/eleonoragonzalezporcel/d2rcv2df3w30ghyn/wish/2548070940
