如何突破被科技巨獸掌控的社群平台?知名媒體評論家從心理到技術創意的分析和陪伴,帶你重新奪回你的網際網路!唐鳳 推薦林穎資(烏特列支大學地理系、INC客座研究員)黃豆泥(分散自治與數位主權探求者,前數發部工程師) 黃祥昀(哲學與社會學背景的策展人與創作者)專文推薦社群平台衍生各式難解的困境,大至結構制度失衡的雲端封建主義,小至個人層次的doomscrolling(像殭屍一樣,盲目地滑動捲動,不再意識到自己在做什麼)。在資訊超載的失序狀態下,我們越來越自戀,越來越習慣公開談論自我的內心,也越來越憂鬱。不僅如此,我們還越來越容易受到陰謀論和假新聞的影響,也容易被引戰。我們都意識到這個現象,卻奮不顧身、持續被社群平台綁架,不論是心甘情願或放棄抵抗。這一切不是我們自恃不足,更多是平台本身Sad by Design (你的悲傷是被設計出來的)。曾經,網際網路許諾了一個光明的未來,是人類追求平等解放的道路。結果卻在歷史洪流的發展中,轉變成問題的一部分,無法扭轉從自身蘊生的破壞力。在當今生態、經濟、金融危機相互交織、彼此影響的「危機的堆疊」裡,網際網路的失敗更加深了危機的不可解。設計,不然就等著被設計(program or be programmed)!作者是歐陸知名媒體理論家,也是網絡文化研究所(Institute of Network Cultures)的創始人。他從哲學和媒體理論的觀察出發,綜論各種變革的可能間隙,實驗各種可能的替代平台,他認為我們得放棄一體適用的解決方案,轉而尋求一系列多樣化、因地制宜的網路工具,來協助完成特定的工作。任何天馬行空的想像力都是起點。在本書裡,作者探討網際網路的困境,診斷我們目前所處的停滯階段,同時也探問如何「解困」,把平台變得不那麼平台。作者認為社群平台已經凌駕原先網際網路的角色,我們必須等待時機,將這兩者適當區分開來,以修復破碎的網路,建立「會面點」。社群平台的目的是進行經濟交流和搾取數據,「會面點」的目的則是創造共通性。「會面點」可以有千千萬萬個跳躍連結,然而在扁平而缺乏深度的社群平台裡,可能性非常有限。在這個故事裡,終極解決之道並不是替代平台的崛起,而是群眾奪回鄉民的能動性與對網際網路的想像力。集體退散卡住眾生的平台,轉而建立自主協作,創造連結動能的網絡。行動的第一步,始自對於數位衰退的深刻理解。【推薦語】本書金句不斷,將許多我們日常中
這樣答讓面試官想錄取你!100 個甄試・留學・就業必備題 & 情境題攻略說出制勝關鍵,成為萬中選一!【本書特色】作者在 IT 業界工作近二十五年期間,參與過無數次面試會議,同時也是資深的托福・雅思輔考講師,對教授和人資在面試時的審核點甚至潛規則瞭若指掌。本書選題力求真實,擬答也是基於作者本身的產學界經歷而擬定,不空泛、切合實際,能幫助應試者揚長避短,巧妙回應刁鑽的陷阱題。● 面面俱到,搞定口面試!1. 面試官最在意的事面試要成功,千萬不能只想到你自己。回答時應將教授/雇主的需求看得比個人的需求更重要,告知自己能提供什麼樣的貢獻,才有機會脫穎而出。2. 線上面試應答訣竅聚焦於日益普及的線上面試,筆者整理了十大線上面試策略(當然有些要點也適用於實體面試),讓應試者在面對面或虛擬環境中都能展現最佳狀態。3. 團體面試勝出策略面試官透過團體面試可更真實地瞭解到應試者在團體中的表現,因為應答時的言行舉止可反映出其與他人合作時的樣貌。4. 影音履歷製作技巧在科技發達的現代,自我行銷的工具不再侷限於文字。本節介紹的即是新式履歷「影音履歷 (Video CV)」。如果運用得當,影音履歷有助於更明確地展示申請者/應徵者的個性、創造力和熱情。5. 面試前與當天的贏戰叮嚀包括面試前、面試當日的重要提醒。6. 面試時該做與不該做的事面試過程中有利於加分、易導致扣分的行為一定要先知道。● 聰明接招,過關斬將!面試實境必問的四大類型:一、關於應試者本身的問題:背景/特質除了基本的「自我介紹」、「優缺點自評」之外,「申請動機」也是十分常見的問題。[例] What draws you to the graduate program / position to which you’ve applied? 是什麼因素促使你申請本研究所專班/職缺的?二、關於過去求學與工作的問題:表現/經驗常見的問題包括「大學亮點」、「課外活動」等,另外下面這個問題也是必問題之一。[例] What accomplishment are you most proud of? 你最引以為豪的成就是什麼?三、關於未來求學與工作的問題:發展/期望作為一個準研究生,不應對自己想研究的領域或興趣
不讓孩子被漏接 不讓老師在孤島中奮戰借鏡美國KIPP公辦民營學校在台灣偏鄉建構世界一流的教育「他(方新舟)絕對是、絕對是台灣這波新教育浪潮的主將。」──公益平台文化基金會董事長 嚴長壽依教育部統計,截至109年度,在台灣的3000多所中學及小學中,有1200多所是6班以下的小校。小校老師時常身兼數職,且在時間與地域的限制下,面臨沒有足夠能量照顧班上每一位孩子的困境,老師如同在孤島中奮戰,甚至往往奮鬥幾年後就選擇離開。 在教師專業發展支持系統和學生學習準備度普遍不足,以及家庭學習支持力道薄弱等種種挑戰下,偏鄉孩子的基本學力普遍待加強,學習的動機更需要提升。這些孩子在離開校園後,相較於其他同齡學生,往往因為少了強而有力的教育支持與多重限制和挑戰,侷限了他們對未來成功人生的想像與追求動能。 何謂KIST?脫胎自美國KIPP公辦民營學校的在地模式 美國的KIPP(Knowledge Is Power Program)公辦民營學校以「努力學習、友善待人」(Work hard. Be nice.)為校訓,將堅毅、樂觀等七個品格置於教育的核心。自1994年成立至今,KIPP在美國弱勢學區成立了200餘所學校,有96%學生來自社會底層或少數族裔,但根據2014年的報告指出,KIPP的學生完成大學學業的比例高達44%,比其他成長於同環境的孩子高出五倍。 KIPP關注弱勢族群、強調品格的教學,成立超過20年且擴散至全美,與方新舟先生創辦的誠致教育基金會使命及「三不原則」不謀而合,因此自2014年實驗教育三法通過後,方新舟先生即積極與KIPP建立合作關係,期許以其成功經驗為鷹架,並萃取台灣在地化模式,發展為台灣的KIST(KIPP Inspired School in Taiwan)體系學校。KIST 借鏡美國 KIPP 公辦民營學校的經營模式,透過品格教育奠基,以「努力學習,友善待人」(Work hard. Be nice.)為校訓,將堅毅、樂觀等七個品格能力置於核心,並且將它們融入組織文化、學校環境、課程教學與師生互動當中。用品格能力激勵內在動機,維持孩子在學業上的高動機與高成就,培養弱勢孩子面對未來生活、翻轉人生的能力,讓孩子具備「走出家鄉的能力,走回家鄉的品格」,建構給孩子公平發展天賦的舞台。本書從方新舟先生投入公益的原點的開始,漸次描繪他胼手胝足、與夥伴共同打造誠致的過程,到K
