participatory cultures.
“A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low
barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement,
strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations,
and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is
known by the most experienced is passed along to
novices. A participatory culture is also one in which
members believe their contributions matter, and feel
some degree of social connection with one another (at
the least they care what other people think about what
they have created)”
http://digitallearning.macfound.org/atf/cf/%7B7E45C7E0-A3E0-4B89-AC9C-E807E1B0AE4E%7D/JENKINS_WHITE_PAPER.PDF

30.
Forms of participatory culture include:
Affiliations / Expressions
Collaborative Problem-solving / Circulations

31.
The Participation Gap — the unequal access to the
opportunities, experiences, skills, and knowledge that
will prepare youth for full participation in the world of
tomorrow.
The Transparency Problem — The challenges young
people face in learning to see clearly the ways that
media shape perceptions of the world.
The Ethics Challenge — The breakdown of traditional
forms of professional training and socialization that
might prepare young people for their increasingly
public roles as media makers and community
participants.
