Book excerpt: Con la gran mayoría de los usuarios de Facebook atrapados en un frenesí de friending, liking y commenting, ¿en qué momento podemos desconectar para comprender las consecuencias de nuestras infosaturadas vidas? ¿Qué nos obliga a participar tan diligentemente con los sistemas de redes sociales? Redes sin causa examina nuestra obsesión colectiva con la identidad y la autogestión, junto con la fragmentación y la información de sobrecarga endémica de la cultura contemporánea en línea.Con escasez de teoría sobre las consecuencias sociales y culturales de los servicios en línea más populares, Lovink ofrece un análisis crítico pionero de nuestro sobrevalorado mundo en red a partir de estudios de casos en los motores de búsqueda, video online, blogging, radio digital, activismo en los media y la saga de Wikileaks. Este libro ofrece un poderoso mensaje a profesionales de los medios y a los teóricos: colectivamente vamos a dar rienda suelta a nuestra capacidad crítica para influir en el diseño de la tecnología y en los espacios de trabajo, si no queremos desaparecer en la nube. Incisivo pero nunca pesimista, Lovink, partiendo de su larga experiencia en la investigación de medios de comunicación, nos ofrece una crítica de las estructuras políticas y poderes conceptuales incluidos en las tecnologías que dan forma a nuestra vida cotidiana.

Download or read book Teacher Professional Development for the Integration of Content and Language in Higher Education written by Ma Noelia Ruiz-Madrid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses heated issues in Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) teacher training with specific emphasis on case studies that will contribute to inform future ICLHE teacher training research and practice. One of the most significant phenomena concerning language in higher education in modern time has been the rise of content subjects taught in an additional language, English being the chosen language in most of the cases. The implementation and teaching of Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) or English as Medium of Instruction (EMI) is a multifaceted, dynamic process that cannot be considered in isolation. Indeed, there are a multitude of interrelated factors that pivot on situating the learner in the centre of the learning process and which directly shape ICLHE teacher training. This is why training lecturers to teach learners in an additional language in Higher Education has been considered a challenge for the profession as numerous publications demonstrate. This book brings together the innovative work of different researchers around the world on how universities, researchers and practitioners are facing and developing Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICHLE) teacher training. All in all, the different contributions reflect different issues that play a fundamental role in the design of effective ICLHE professional development and provide data and reflections that will hopefully contribute to inform future ICLHE teacher training programmes. Teacher Professional Development for the Integration of Content and Language in Higher Education will be an important resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Education and Teacher Training Research and Practice. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching.
