Participatory Culture According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens have created media content, and roughly one-third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced.

A Participatory Culture. . . Relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement Strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others Some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices

A Participatory Culture . . . Members believe that their contributions matter Members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created)

Forms of Participatory Culture Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media, such as Friendster, Facebook, message boards, metagaming, Second Life, or MySpace Expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups

Forms of Participatory Culture Collaborative Problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia , alternative reality gaming, spoiling). Circulations — Shaping the flow of media (such as podcasting, blogging).

Implications A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including: opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, a changed attitude toward intellectual property, the diversification of cultural expression, the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship.

Implications Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement. The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking. These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.

The New Literacies Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving Performance — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world processes Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content

The New Literacies Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient details. Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources

The New Literacies Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the flow of stories and information across multiple modalities Networking — the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse communities, discerning and respecting multiple perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms.

New Literacies – Realistic or Fantasy? Can you think of examples in your personal life or classroom where you touch on these new literacies? (handout) Read the short article, Training Kids With Skills For Participatory Culture. Do you think any of this is realistic? The future? Impossible?
