The Internet as a technology teaches us one value more deeply than any other: the joy of being connected.  David Weinberger http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/000473.html
Evidence is mounting that younger people don’t think of the Internet as a collection of content that other people produce for them to consume ... [they] think about it as a dynamic, emergent & peer-produced repository to which they’re eager to contribute … Andrew McAfee (June, 2007) http://blog.hbs.edu/faculty/amcafee/index.php/faculty_amcafee_v3/never_email_anyone_over_30/

Mediated spaces Mediated publics are here to stay; yet they are complicating many aspects of daily life. The role of an educator is not to condemn or dismiss youth practices, but to help youth understand how their practices fit into a broader societal context. These are exciting times; embracing societal change and influencing the norms can only help everyone involved. danah boyd:  http://tinyurl.com/2zad37

More than most, educators are well positioned to directly engage youth about their networked practices. They can posit moral conundrums, show how mediated publics differ from unmediated ones, invite youth to consider the potential consequences of their actions, and otherwise educate through conversation instead of the assertion of power. … Internet safety is on the tip of most educators’ tongues, but much of what needs to be discussed goes beyond safety. It is about setting norms and considering how different actions will be interpreted. It’s important to approach this conversation with an open mind and without condescension because, often, there are no right or wrong answers. danah boyd  http://kt.flexiblelearning.net.au/tkt2007/?page_id=28
