E-participation

What is participation.
Role of advocates in e-participation?
Technology can disable, as a choice of systems
Professional staff resistance, technophobia,

What are the opportunities for e-participation?

Does everyone want to participate, are their differing characters and motivations which shade people's approaches to participation?

BARRIERS; Risk Averse approaches in institutions often lead to restrictions on the use of social technologies, which might be a debate about control

Opportunities

Increasing social interaction and opportunities

Gives people a voice - 'hierachy of discourse' is disrupted

Provides tools for what people want to do - talk to each other and share things

connect/share/communicate/inspire - and disrupt in a positive sense

Technology can provide a focus for joining different groups together


Barriers

Schools banning mobile phones - why? Seen as threat to classroom control

Maybe when a technology becomes ubiquitous, it is seen as 'bad' (like TV). 

Social control of technology - constrains how it's used.

There are dangers of the cloud - who decides, what information is collected by you.

Distinction between using and owning the space.

Time, cost, inaccessible for people with disabilities, desire, access to services,
