Needs Assesment and Social Media!!
Related to country: Mexico

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

- Which cultural norms and barriers might I face when conducting a needs assessment in my community? and how might these be addressed?rnI believe that the most important cultural barrier that my project might face would be the fact that most of the indigenous languages are only spoken but not written. And if they are there are a lot of ways of writing them since there is not "an unique way".rnThis might be helped by getting people that know about the subject to get to read the texts and check that everything is correct in order to avoid any problems with the language.rnrn How can social media be used to conduct a needs assessment?rnSocial media is very important because it might help by the use of below the line media, such as internet, blogs, chat, online surveys, etc. This reaches people from everywhere, so it might be easier to get different opinions , points of view from people that might be hard to reach.

Datos Curiosos sobre el Halloween...

Datos Curiosos sobre el Halloween
Por Andrea Arzaba

Aquí tenemos algunos datos interesantes, y quizás inservibles, de lo que es ésta fiesta tan celebrada en todo el mundo: La noche de Halloween.

- Los antiguos celtas pensaban que los espíritus y los fantasmas rondaban entre los vivos la noche de Halloween. Ellos comenzaron a usar máscaras y disfraces para que los espíritus no los reconocieran como humanos.

- El Halloween es la segunda fiesta más comercial después de la Navidad.

- Halloween es el 31 de Octubre, el último día del calendario celta. Originalmente era una fiesta para honrar a la muerte.

- En Irlanda, los campesinos pedían comida a los ricos. La gente que no les daba nada, tendría una broma como recompensa así que para no ser victimas de las bromas se les daban galletas, fruta o dulces. Es de ahí de donde viene la tradición de “dulce o truco”.

- Las mujeres aceptan más fácilmente que creen en los fantasmas que los hombres.

- La próxima luna llena que caerá en Halloween será el 31 de Octubre del 2020.

- Uno de los personajes más filmados en la historia es Drácula.
- Se dice que las películas que dan más miedo de todos los tiempos son El Exorcista, El silencio de los inocentes y Psicosis.

- Los juicios de las brujas de Salem en 1692 son conocidos por quemar a las mujeres acusadas de “brujas”, aunque la mayoría murieron colgadas. Muchas otras murieron en las cárceles también.

Net Generation: The times are changing
Related to country: Mexico

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

" We are entering a new age where people participate in the economy like never before". (Tapscott, Don: 10)rnrnI believe that the time we are living now is full of oportunities and chances that people from the past would have never thought before. Based in my experience, the majority of the most important and significative situations that had happened in the last two years in my life have been 100% influences by the use of the Web 2.0. Blogs, communities, networking, have helped me doing what I like: Writing and learning from others.rnrnI am starting a project with indigenous people and writting about their culture so it will not get lost. This texts have helped me realize that using the web is going to help me using effective ways of developing this goal. The different examples that I have read in the readings have insipred me by learning from real examples that have succeded.rnrnUsing web 2.0 will benefit me with networking and finding people that are interested in the same cause in order to make a better project. Also with blogs and groups in facebook, blogspot , etc in order to keep informed and show what is happening with the project.
